Overcoming the Emotional Obstacles with Lupus
Anxiety over the future
Subsequently, the feeling of being isolated in conjunction with limits to physical activity might make a person feel worried about the future. For example, if a person has to cut back on work duties and/or hours, then he or she would start to stress about job security and how to maintain a source of income.
Moreover, one would feel some anxiety about whether or not treatment would be effective and for how long. Lupus can be fairly unpredictable, so a person has to deal with a certain amount of the unknown.
