04.42.01 EMOTIONAL CONCERNS?
There are so many to cover under this heading. Our emotional health is every bit as important as our physical well-being, and you cannot separate the two. When you are dealing with any disease, it is difficult to be your natural optimistic self, but when you are dealing with an appearance-altering and physically debilitating disease like PRP, it’s many times more difficult.
Find your support system…it may already be in place. Talk with the friends and family members you can trust to best understand your ordeal. Watch for signs and symptoms of depression and have others watch for them also seek counsel from your doctor about medications if the feelings of depression cannot be shaken off and become a burden to you.
Always remember that you are not alone. There are many of us out here with PRP, and we are all going through the same experiences that you are. Joining this Support Group and sharing the pain and the problems is of utmost importance. Only someone who has walked in your shoes can understand how you feel.
