Looking After Your Mental Health
Sometimes it is hard to know whether what you are feeling is “normal stress” or a sign that you might need more support. When you are living with CKD, feelings like worry, low mood, and being overwhelmed can sometimes happen. Some symptoms can also overlap with physical changes in your body or side effects of medicines. You do not need to work this out on your own.
The aim of this module is to help you notice when you may not be coping, understand how CKD can affect emotional wellbeing, and know where to find support.
- What do you already know about your mental health?
- What helps you when you are feeling overwhelmed or low?
- Who do you talk to now when you have concerns about how you are feeling?
