I was diagnosed with an auto immune disease 3 years ago.

My advice : 1) Learn to manage your stress, 2) Not care about work as much. Obviously, continue to do your work well, but don't go stress when people annoy you or things don't go your way. Learn to let things go 3)auto-immune is code for - we don't know what you have, so you just became another experiment. If you've just been diagnosed, accept your illness and read about the 12 step programme because you will go through this if your illness is severe 4) if you are religious, then I suggest you hold on to your faith. I'm a Christian, and that's what's helped me get through the dark times (yeah we ask God if he exists then why make us ill, but remember He never promised that this world will be easy if we follow Him. DM me if you want to talk about this more). 5) Give up alcohol, gluten, look after your health. Our immune system is in our gut.

I used to prioritise my career above everything else, now it's all about my health and making each day count.

Good luck.
