You've probably been given information about how to care for yourself, along with information about medications or other treatments. Each health condition has its own kind of self-care activities that improve health, lessen suffering or reduce limitations. Sometimes you can join a self-management group to learn more about your condition and share support with others facing similar challenges. Self-management groups are valuable - if you have access to a group, consider joining it. This book is about self-care for problems caused by the stress of your health condition. It fits well with self-care for physical symptoms. As you gain more control over stress, you will find it easier to do self-care for your health condition. If you are struggling with low mood and discouragement, it's going to be harder, for example, to carry out regular blood sugar testing. Or, if you're tossing and turning through sleepless nights because of worry, it will be more difficult to remember your medication schedule.
