Do you believe emotional factors were decisive in developing this condition? What were you going through emotionally when it started?

Your health condition can affect every area of life, including relationships and activities you enjoy. These changes can impact your sense of self and lead to valid feelings of loss and worry. Many MySpondylitisTeam members have shared similar experiences about emotional challenges. Attitude makes a significant difference in how you approach your diagnosis and deal with flare-ups, pain, and relationships. A MySpondylitisTeam member shares that we have the capacity to set the tone for how we will be treated and what our expectations are. Your attitude can help determine whether those expectations are met. While managing emotional aspects is important, practicing mindfulness can help - approaching each moment with openness and curiosity. Remember this takes practice and time, but can be valuable for emotional wellbeing while managing spondylitis.
