Accepting chronic illness
hello al,
this is my first post here. I only discovered steve pavlinas website about a week ago and have been doing a lot of reading.
Here is a bit about myself before I post the questions!!....About 2.5 years ago I completed a PHD in biology and then promplty fell ill. I have been strugglign with ill health since then. I have lost a lot of freinds and have not worked since then.... I have changed a lot in terms of how I live, what I eat etc, and have had to deal with a lot of difficult emotions that go with chronic illness such as losing self worth, how do I defince myself, what does this all mean, why do some suffer ill health, etc etc etc..........
I am still struggling with compeltey accepting my illness and my limitations....how do I make sense of my life and create a meanigful life? can anyone help with any suggestiions or point me to any posts that might help?
thanks so much
