Worries About The Future

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Springfield, IL

About a year ago I was diagnosed with RA. While I've been working with a doctor to manage it and slow down the progression I'm still worried about how my condition may affect me in the future. I have many passions that joint pain affects and I'm afraid it will get so bad that I won't be able to do the things I love doing. Especially getting a diagnosis so early in life. Am I overreacting? I have an anxiety disorder and I feel like I might be over thinking things...

No matter, keep on the sunny side of life, humor is a medicine..for real. Our brains thus our bodies function well under good, positive words, deeds and outlook. These improve depression as well. Remember Norman Cousins, Anatomy of An Illness, the story of a man who treated cancer with laughter. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086891/
I also put my life in the hands of Jesus and God my father. I know the fears well too but i can and do overcome. With love my dear, Kathy
