I couldn’t accept mine either. Waiting 6 months for the reversal seemed like 6 years. My life was consumed by “the bag” and all the work it took. I was kept sane by the knowledge it was temporary.
I'm fine with the colostomy, but then I'm female, very old and long married. What I have ended up with besides the colostomy is a permanent urinary catheter. Now that I do hate!! To me it is a prison so far. I'm hoping that time will soften the effects some. Cannot imagine being in a real prison.
Sorry you are having problems.
Having a colostomy is a bit of burden having to constantly monitor output and changing the bag. Also, at times, it leaks at night, which is really a hassle.
