OOBER escapes 6

This topic is about finding emotional escape and building resilience while living with a stoma. It revolves around a poem that paints a picture of the daily experiences and challenges faced by someone with a stoma. Here are some key points and advice drawn from the discussion:

- Life with a stoma can be unpredictable and messy, sometimes taking over daily activities in unexpected ways.
- It's natural to feel frustrated or down when routines are disrupted, but it's important to find ways to cope.
- The poem suggests adopting a mindset called "OOBER mode" (Out-Of-Body Experiences Recorded), which involves mentally stepping outside oneself to detach from the burdens of living with a stoma. This can help in relaxing and finding joy in life again.
- Keeping a positive outlook and choosing not to focus on negative aspects can make it easier to manage life with a stoma.
- Techniques like visualizing an out-of-body experience can offer emotional relief and a fresh perspective, helping to heal and inform.
- Regular self-reflection and striving for balance are crucial. This helps in building resilience and ensures that stoma-related issues don't take over one's entire life.
