I feel hopeless 😔
Hang in there. Many Ostomymates have had similar feelings. I felt hopeless and lost when I was in the hospital last year. Each day becoming weaker, with intense pain. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong. There came a point when I couldn't take it anymore. I had lost 66 pounds, didn't eat or drink anything for a month, living on TPN. In the depths of my despair, I asked God to help me. As much as things went wrong for me, things suddenly went right. I survived. I have a hernia too. Sucks. But I live with it.
Never give up hope. If possible, get a second opinion about your current situation.

While in the hospital, my wife gave me a card with this Psalm. I read it nearly everyday.
Psalm 18:6, 16
In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help.
From his temple He heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.
He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
JESAC78, I agree with Beachboy. Please heed the advice. I love that Psalm too. You aren't alone.
