Denial, I believe, is a big reason why many don’t tell others they’re sick. By denying they are sick to other people, it’s easier for them to lie to themselves about the truth of their illness. It’s important to understand how dangerous this kind of self-denial can be. By not admitting you‘re sick, by not acting responsibly and taking care of your body on a daily basis, you put your health in danger. Turning a blind eye to your problems won’t make them go away, as we discussed earlier, it only makes them worse. However, sharing your burdens with the ones you trust allows you to draw strength from their love and support.
This blog is intended to help people of all ages cope with many of the challenges that come with Sickle Cell Disease. When first launched, my target audience was teens and parents. Over the years, however, the scope of my content has expanded to help people of all ages who may struggle with similar complications as I. Whether you’re reading this for yourself or to help a loved one cope with Sickle Cell, I believe there is something here for everybody affected by this disease and other illnesses.
