Dealing With Fibromyalgia Anger
Fibromyalgia anger can also be part of a grief process that patients will have to go through before they can fully accept their condition as a part of their lives. Feeling angry is normal and it is a natural response to the difficult condition that you are going through. However, it is important to find ways to cope with it. You can perhaps look for a support group on Facebook or an online forum where you can interact with people who truly understand your situation. Counseling may also help you deal with grief. There is no shame in seeking help given all the symptoms and difficulties that you have to go through.
It will also help to think of this perspective – everyone, regardless of their health status, is dealing with frustrations every day of their life. As someone with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, you have a lot of things to deal with, more than other people. It is normal to be angry and feel sorry for yourself. However, avoid catastrophizing your situation and do not make negativity your default mode.
You should also know by now that your chronic illness puts you at high risk of depression. Therefore, if you are feeling depressed or moody, see your doctor and discuss your condition. Your doctor can recommend various treatment options for you.
