My colostomy bag has been with me now for a year and a half. I stay home where I feel comfortable. How do you fly? How do you eat in a restaurant, the bathrooms are small and crowded? How many times a day does your bag fill up? I am depressed, how do I accept this? What do you do when you are with a group of people and your bag starts to fill up? I am not sure what kind of answers I am looking for. I want to tell myself this is okay, I can't get there. Thanks for letting me vent.
