'This isn't living, this is just existing.' A long-term physical
health condition - a chronic illness, or even a disability - can
take over your existence. Battling against the effects of the
condition can take so much of your time and energy that it feels
like the rest of your life is 'on hold'. The physical symptoms of
different conditions will vary, as will the way you manage them.
But the kinds of psychological stress the situation brings are
common to lots of long-term health problems: worry about the
future, sadness about what has been lost, frustration at changes,
guilt about being a burden, friction with friends and family. You
can lose your sense of purpose and wonder 'What's the point?'
Trapped in a war against your own illness, every day is just about
the battle, and it can seem impossible to find achievement and
fulfilment in life if the condition cannot be cured. It doesn't
have to be like that. Using the latest developments in cognitive
behavioural therapy (CBT) which emphasise mindfulness and
acceptance, and including links to downloadable audio exercises and
worksheets, this book will show you how you can live better despite
your long-term condition. It will teach you to spot the ways of
coping that haven't been working for you, how to make sure that
troubling thoughts and unwanted feelings don't run your life, how
to make sense of the changes in your circumstances, to make the
most of today and work towards a future that includes more of the
things that matter to you. If you stop fighting a losing battle,
and instead learn how to live well with the enemy, then - even with
your long-term condition - you'll find yourself not simply
existing, but really living again.
