Why talking about mental health and stomas matters | by Louise
I’m not afraid to admit that my mental health has been in the gutter for the last two years due to being bed bound thanks to endometriosis and Buddy the cyst. Once I had my hysterectomy I finally admitted to myself that I needed help and I’m still waiting for my EMDR therapy and PTSD counselling as I have medical PTSD. However, my mental health about my stoma has always been absolutely fine and I’m that open. I often get told off by my mother because toilet humour isn’t her cup of tea.
