Some of the negative aspects or experiences that people have shared with us over the years include uncertainty over their health outcomes, fatigue, dealing with disclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with chronic viral hepatitis may face the challenges of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>living with the long term uncertainty of how hepatitis B or C may be affecting their liver<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>dealing with symptoms such as brain fog or fatigue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>becoming seriously ill because of liver damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>having to disclose their status to new people in their life<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>being treated poorly by a health-care provider<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>having fearful or negative feelings about being \u201cinfectious\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>feeling isolated from the community because of stigma or \u201chaving a secret\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, there is evidence to show that those living with long-term viral hepatitis are at increased risk of becoming depressed. Although it isn\u2019t known exactly why this is the case it is thought that the most likely causes are a combination of the physical and psychological effects of the disease. Looking at above list this is hardly surprising. They have a lot to deal with emotionally, as well as physically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You need to look after your mental &amp; physical health<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning better ways to deal with stress and uncertainty can have a real impact on your mental and physical health and lessen the chances of becoming or staying depressed and anxious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A promising new approach, called <em>self-compassion<\/em>, could be helpful for people with viral hepatitis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can it help?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-compassion may:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Help you cope with negative emotions and uncertainty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make you feel more connected to other people<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve your sense of wellbeing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Practising self-compassion has been <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2017\/01\/to-recover-from-failure-try-some-self-compassion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">found to<\/a> improve wellbeing and life satisfaction and reduce levels of depression, anxiety, stress and shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is self-compassion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Being kind to yourself<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-compassion is the practice of treating yourself with the same understanding, kindness and forgiveness that you would a cherished friend. Rather than ignoring your suffering or berating yourself for your failings, respond to yourself with gentleness and compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accepting your shared humanity<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Self-compassion recognises that every human being is flawed and that people rarely get exactly what they want in life. Accepting that you are only human too can help you to feel less isolated in your suffering and more a part of the shared human experience of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Being mindful<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The self-compassion approach encourages you to step back from negative emotions and view them mindfully rather than taking them as literal truth and getting caught up in a negative spiral of self-blame and worthlessness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">But don\u2019t I need to be tough to cope and get things done?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people mistakenly believe that they need to be tough with themselves to get through difficult situations or to avoid making mistakes in the future. &nbsp;In fact, not only does this approach not work, it can make things worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unchallenged feelings of self-blame, isolation and shame make people more likely to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Distract themselves from negative emotions rather than accepting and facing them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unable to admit that they\u2019ve made mistakes or have flaws, just like everybody else.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not deal realistically with their situation or make plans to make things better in the future<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69d74114c202e&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69d74114c202e\" class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large alignnone wp-image-1027 wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"797\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/smiling-woman-1200x797.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/smiling-woman-1200x797.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/smiling-woman-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/smiling-woman-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/smiling-woman-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hepatitissa.asn.au\/communitynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/smiling-woman.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Think about what you\u2019d say to a friend if they had the same problem<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try it for yourself<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Next time something goes wrong or you\u2019re facing painful or challenging feelings, try some self-compassion.
