Fed up, feeling down, and yes, I am lucky to be alive, but I feel I have sort of stopped living. I turn so many outings down with friends because of my colostomy, worried about accidents, worried about what toilets are going to be like. I am okay at work mainly because I work from home, but my social life is zero, and I have never really felt depressed, but I am quite a lot these days.
