Taking care of your emotions | OSUCCC – James

Описание: A cancer diagnosis and cancer treatment can bring both physical and emotional changes to your life. Just as you take care of your body after a cancer diagnosis, you also need to take care of your emotional health. This video will help you to understand some of the common ways people react when they have cancer such as feeling overwhelmed, confused, angry, worried, fearful, sad, depressed or lonely. Family and loved ones of someone with cancer often have many of the same feelings.

This video offers ways to help you cope with the feelings that may be caused by these changes. Some ways to help deal with these feelings may include: prioritizing daily activities, spending time with loved ones, spiritual or professional counseling or support groups. Learning about your cancer and treatment, as well as finding healthy ways to relax such as nature, meditation, guided imagery, distractions or creative activities (such as art, music or dance) may also be helpful.
