Life has taken a turn for the worse.
Things were going well. Now that you think about it, they were great!
But then, your health may have changed. You may have experienced a heart attack or heart disease, were diagnosed with cancer or Crohn’s disease, have adult-onset diabetes, have multiple sclerosis, or feel Alzheimer’s or dementia on the horizon.
Now that you received the news, life as you knew it would never be the same – and right now, the future looks very scary.
You are silently “freaking out”; however, you cannot tell this to your family and friends because they are telling you, “It will be ok,” and “You will get through this.”
News about failing health can cause emotional upheaval.
Anger sets in – your life has been upended, and this news scares you.
You start to worry about the impact this will have on others. How will this affect my family and friends? Will your issues become a strain or hardship for them?
The feeling that you are powerless to stop it all from happening is overwhelming.
How did life get so out of control from one moment to the next?
Gain control by seeking the right help.
It would be a welcome relief to talk to someone who can listen to you while providing a safe space to discuss your thoughts and feelings that keep you scared and confused.
You need someone who can help you unpack these thoughts and feelings and then organize them to help you think more clearly.
Learning some thought process tools and coping skills would be beneficial as well.
