When someone is diagnosed with a chronic illness, they usually goes through an adjustment period. š¤·
During that time, there may be many different emotions as the person with the illness and the family adapt to the new reality. š¤
People often go through stages similar to the grieving process. The initial stage of shock and denial can take longer for some to resolve than others. š
Family members also go through these stages, but may not adapt as quickly. This may show up as thinking š¤the person with the illness is faking or exaggerating symptoms.
The stages of adaptation are:
ā£ Denial ā shock, numbness, unreality of the situation
ā£ Anger š”ā angry at God, the doctors, insurance companies, the system
ā£ Bargaining ā seeking second opinions, miracle cures, mistaken diagnosis
ā£ Depression ā mourning for the person you once were or hoped to be
ā£ Adaptation ā learning to live with the new normal
Additional Tips:
ā Invite family members to talk with your doctor or accompany you to an appointment ā this may help them to accept the reality of the illness.
ā Many organizations and medical practices offer literature and programs for people who are newly diagnosed and their families. Take advantage of these programs and related support groups.
ā There may be stressful and cumbersome paperwork to complete for insurance and other purposes. Ask your medical provider for assistance with this or request a referral to someone in the community who can assist you, i.e. care managers.
ā Care managers are often available through national or local associations or service organizations ā For example: National MS Society or American Cancer Society. National organizations usually have state or regional chapters/offices that serve a specific area.
These organizations also offer educational opportunities, information and referral, programs and services for the person with the illness, family members and caregivers.
