Hi, I have had my ileostomy for over 7 years now and have been suffering a little anxiety the last few years from it. When socializing with new friends, I find that I can't even concentrate on their conversations as all I'm worrying about is my bag!! Making noises, eating with them as I have a high output and so have isolated myself the last few years. Does anyone else feel the same? Would love to hear from anyone in a similar situation and how you have or have not overcome it and just to chat with people who understand.
