The Two List Coping Strategy for Managing Life With an Illness
The Two List Strategy starts with an explanation of Good Days and Bad Days. With either chronic mental health issues like depression or chronic physical health issues, like lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis, you have Good Days and Bad Days, because the conditions flare up, and on a good day, some things are easier, and on a bad day, some things are harder, as the conditions wax and wane. Lots of things factor in to whether or not a day turns out “Bad” or “Good,” including stress, sleep, what you eat, how you eat, your coping mechanisms, your environment and many other factors as well.
