Growing up, I was always heavily spiritual. It was never implemented on me. I always just had a sense for spiritual stuff when I was a kid. Ever since being chronically ill, my mindset is practically stripped of all of my beliefs. I’m not saying that I’m an atheist, but whatever is happening to me has to be the fault of something and to that I am very upset… just wondering how others cope

I really appreciate everyone’s comments on my other post. I was able to get on Imodium 2 mg and have a reversal scheduled for the 17th of next month. I’m still struggling a lot mentally and finding it hard to find any joy in my life as I’m still pretty physically incapable of anything. I just want my body back and I don’t know what I’m gonna do if the surgery doesn’t fix it.

I’m only 22 and this procedure has sent me into deep depression. My stoma has caused a constant stream of dehydration for me. I drink 4000mg of sodium daily + more in what I eat. My output isn’t even considered high but I’m struggling every single day. Every day I feel maybe 30% good and I’m constantly treating myself with meds and fluids. I don’t know how much longer I can do this. My surgeon says she’s not a doctor for this kinda stuff and my doctor tells me to ask my surgeon for help. I don’t know what else to do other than hate the life this hole has given me. I’ve had it for a year and in that year I’ve had to quit school, my job, lost all of my friends, moved cities, and developed agoraphobia because I’m so scared I’m gonna pass out and be alone. I just advise plz.

I’ve always wondered how they handle supplies/leaks/infection etc. No need to share your story if you don’t feel comfy I just know they’re notorious for not giving women menstrual products so I can’t image a bag change every 3-4 days
