Dealing with a long-lasting disease like lupus can be hard on the emotions. Concerns about your health and the effects of your lupus on your work and family life can be stressful. Changes in the way you look and other physical effects of lupus can be tough to handle.

Your friends, family, and coworkers might not seem to understand how you feel. At times, you might feel sad or angry. Or, that you have no control over your life with lupus.

To do this, pay attention to your body. Slow down or stop before you're too tired. Learn to pace yourself.

Spread out your work and other activities. €¢ Reduce stress. More.
