Most of us are sanguine about the fact that some things are out of our control. We know, for example, that we can’t avoid death or taxes or do much about how tall we’ll grow.
For much of everything else, we figure out a way to deal with what happens in life — until we can’t, for one reason or another. A prime example is the emotional upheaval caused by receiving an unexpected and scary medical or mental health diagnosis. Having gone through this myself recently, here are some ways to help you cope.
- Get all the facts
- Go online and check trusted websites to learn the latest research, treatments, techniques
- Talk with your loved ones and family members and ask for their support
- Consider counseling
- Find a support group
- Adopt a positive attitude and maintain a proactive outlook
- Become a champion in your healing process
And please make sure that the websites you consult are professional. If it doesn’t look right it probably isn’t.
