I know you may think your life is over and you should give up but that is the last thing you want to do. You have to be strong during this time and believe you will get better.

Learning that you have a serious illness like cancer or heart disease can be very hard on you both mentally and emotionally. It's something that no one is ever really prepared to hear and much less accept. But you must realize that the first step you must take is accepting that you have an illness. There is no use in fighting it and it will only make things worse. Once you have accepted what you have, you can let the healing begin.

It may be hard to accept the news and you will most likely feel hopeless in the beginning. You have to understand though that there are many people who care for you and they don't want to see you give up on yourself. If you give up on yourself then you must know that you are also giving up on them.

Once you have gone through the stage of acceptance of the disease you must then begin your research. You will need to get on your computer and learn everything you can about this disease from the internet. Knowledge is power and you will benefit greatly from learning everything you can. You will want to use many different sources and cross reference them so you get the clearest picture imaginable.

Some doctors will tell you one thing and others might tell you something else. This is why you must do your own research and educate yourself before choosing the right doctor for your condition. You have to go with your heart on this and find people who will really care for you rather then take your money. It's a sad truth about our world but not everyone is looking out for your best interest. You will know when you meet the right person to help you because they will instill hope and be very compassionate for you.

You still have the power to help yourself and you should always be taking advantage of this. Eat nutritious food and stay in good shape. There are all sorts of vitamins and supplements out there that you should be taking regardless of how you feel. They are good for you and it doesn't take much work.

You will want to avoid staying in your room all day and crying. This won't help you one bit and you will benefit much more by going out and being social with your friends. This is like telling the disease to go shove it and letting it know that you won't let it affect your happiness. Remember this is not a part of you. The disease has no effect on your the true nature of your being. You are a divine child of God and nothing can hurt you. You will always exist on some level and this disease is simply a passing phase. It will eventually die, but you will continue to exist for eternity as a child of god.
