What’s your Stoma called, and why?

What a great idea Alaine, but oh heck, a month! 10 days were bad enough I'm not planning on going back but I'll remember, just incase!

I'm the same, I don't know what is wrong with me! I've been in tears all day for the slightest thing! My son, and family, live in the USA and I just don't have a clue what to get him for Xmas! No change there but for some reason it's getting to me!  Thank goodness for this site, it always cheers me up!

Sorry! x

Oh Moira and Kath

i feel for you both

I’m same. I think November is my non productive month. Every year I’m same and I get depressed…..really down. I’ve had some really bad memories left in November.

Once I reach December I’m fine. I’m trying to get things done this month like decorating and sorting. But I think you both should treat yourself. Something really lovely. Your favourite things. Binge watch a great series. Definitely not Christmas stuff. Something that’s heart warming and heart felt. Then you can cry and laugh. Eat something great maybe candles and glass of wine.  
take care x

Hi Artsie,

there's another club for us to start, no idea what to call it! I never feel alone on herd, I ha e a wonderful husband and sons but it's here I can talk! Thank you lovely Artsie Ann and Kath and all of you! I'm going to TRY to sleep tonight              

talk tomorrow,

I hope you managed some sleep.
I agree with you in sharing our thoughts and feelings here it really helps.

I’ve got close family but they don’t really know what it’s like to manage these little appendages  We know and by sharing how we feel it saves our loved ones from worrying. My hubby thinks I’m amazing the way I’m dealing with what’s happened.
It’s you guys keeping me sane.

Well keeping me real

its a safe space to air our feelings and have a good old moan

whats club should we start? 

I did but very disturbed,as always! Yes, my lot think the same as yours, they don't know how broken inside I feel at times! But knowing everyone on here is going through the same thing and being able to have a few tears or giggles, well it makes me feel more cracked than broken!

I've wracked my brains for a name for our club but I'm stuck! We'll have to throw it open for suggestions!!

what about s**t happens? - maybe not. If we put our heads together we're bound to come up with a new thread name. Most of us seem to have rollercoaster emotions that send us all over the place. 

lovely imagine. I love it. Thank you. I suffer with acute anxiety and depression since first lockdown and mostly my problems are psychological rather than physical. Mu cancer was 11 years ago. I'm told I'm now cancer free which should fill me with joy. My depression for me is harder to deal with. 

I think that's great Kath, but maybe not! I think you're right though, most of us seem to be all over the place so it's lovely to have somewhere to go and just talk without anyone judging!

Take care,

Moira x
