What’s your Stoma called, and why?

Disturbed sleeps depressing. I take a blue pill. I’m known for my little blue pill. I get sometimes six hours before whoops let’s me know. GET Up or else. She’s a real demanding little thing 

I haven’t got a name either  

I do like Kaths but think it may not be appreciated. I don’t know if we are allowed a club. Youre right Moira this group really helps and it’s safe. I suppose this is already a club. It’s better than social media. I’m not on any of that.

please don’t think of yourself as broken or cracked. More mending the cracks with super glue and silicon so if you fall again you’ll bounce.  
take care 

I’ve had a complete meltdown down years ago. I was a wreck with terrible panic attacks that completely locked me away before Covid. I’m not completely healed and not sure I will however I do have an inner safety valve that warns me. Danger. Look after yourself. I know then I will rethink whatever is causing it. I’ve had tablets and CBT  so I really feel for you. 

Is there anything that you can change or stop that causes your stress? 

maybe there’s something that you could add to your time to give you space to breathe and relax?

Therapy is great when needed. I’m booked in for six sessions.  
Funnily enough my daughter is a trained psycho therapist she’s really busy.

Spoil yourself Kath you deserve it.

oh I’ve just thought of a book my daughters friends written but it’s swearing title may put you off  I’ve read it and worked through his exercises  let me know if you are interested I’ll post it for you it’s a very different approach.   

Artsie you've got some strange eating habits .Eat something great maybe candles and wine ? Do you heat them in the oven or eat them cold   Alaine

Ha ha ha. 
Definitely eat something nice. If you can find tasty candles then enjoy. But probably best to eat some chocolate, drink a glass of something nice and light a candle. 

It's alright to feel like  No matter what stage were at .For me it was a bit of a shock (deep down I knew it was  there) and it was Why Me?.Then it just get it sorted for me  .Strangely enough no worries about the operation .Then all the problems started .I just wanted to go  ..Something must be wrong I'm not in pain.. All I got was  "Your looking great "  Results came back and all clear It can't be it's too quick   Have they got my results mixed up .1year and I still don't believe it  .Sad lonely   Can't sleep and so tried.   ! Apart from all that I am great 

I went I We went out and bought some new Xmas  Dec,a  and got rid of some. ..This page and good friends I've made on it have got me through this ... Alaine

Alaine, you're doing so brilliantly, please don't be sad or lonely, everyone is here for you! Enjoy your new Xmas decorations and put your tree up! If you feel like screaming, come on here and just do it!

Take care,
