Sharing experiences and looking for support with stigma and depression Questions about self care: diet, vitamins, exercise etc.
7 January 24 at 10:47pm Hi guys, my story is that I became sick in November 2016, but only got diagnosed with active pulmonary active TB and pneumonia in April 2017 after finally reaching breaking point. I finally finished treatment in December last year and am finally on the mend! I guess I was too scared to even look up support groups like this during treatment for fear of what I might find. But now on the other side it's so important and validating to know that there is a whole community here who supports people through their journey back to health. I'm still struggling with mental health issues as a direct result of being sick for so long and the feeling of powerlessness that comes with facing this illness, so am reaching out to gain support from people who have themselves experienced the isolation that comes with a severe illness. Sending out love and positive vibes to everyone on their journey
8 Empowering Messages for Patients: There is no shame about complaining when things are tough! Expressing feelings, even the negative ones, is a vital part of building a better response to TB. Shame and stigma are a difficult part of the TB journey. Reminders (even though it may seem obvious) that the patient's health; both mental and physical are important, not just killing off the contagion, send an empowering message. TB can effect every aspect of a person's life. Continued recognition of this empowers the patient and helps to fight the isolating tendencies of this disease.
