Should I Continue Salsa Despite My Anxiety?

Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about a person who is struggling with insecurities while learning salsa dancing due to having a stoma pouch. The individual initially enjoyed the dance but became self-conscious when they noticed others looking in the direction of their pouch, causing them to stop dancing and feel uncomfortable about returning to the class.

Advice and Insights
- Consider wearing clothing that disguises the pouch better, such as longer tunic type floaty tops and jeans.
- Use a Comfizz waistband or lycra shorts cut into a band to hold the pouch in place.
- Consider using a tummy wrap or a tube top to hold the pouch in and prevent it from being noticeable.
- If feeling uncomfortable about returning to salsa dancing, consider trying Zumba, a dancing exercise where participants face the instructor, to build up comfort levels.
- Get a wrap from Ostomysecrets.com to keep the pouch flat and unnoticeable while dancing.
