New ostomate, we’ve all gone through feeling low and depressed over your ostomy.
This is a pretty open group. Right now, in summer, it’s a low response time—lots of family things going on. If you need something, call out. Someone dealing with your situation will post something sooner or later.
It’s just that time of year.
Take care, and good luck.
Hello Angelicamarie.
It seems like a good idea to welcome people collectively and I would certainly echo your remarks. However, I feel that it is still important to make sure people feel welcomed on a personal, one to one basis, as this is the essence of the sort of support that this site has to offer. I also agree with Xnine in encouraging new people to join in and look around the various sections of the site to see what interests them most. Personally, I do like browsing people's profiles to get a feel of who I am talking to and I get a lot of information from the 'collections' section.
Best wishes to you all.
Bill
