7. Self Image Examples A. Impact on my self–esteem and self–image. When I was first diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), it drastically changed my life. I had visited my doctor because I had a terrible time falling asleep for multiple weeks due to my wrist and hand experiencing alternating sensations of tingling and pain. With the lack of sleep, I was often irritable and feeling down about myself. I quickly started to have low levels of self–esteem and thought badly about my self–image. Before my diagnosis of RA, I often would work out and visit my local gym typically three times a week. However, the pain and inflammation in my joints prevented me from working out.

With the multiple appointments that I have, it was too difficult for me to keep up with my job. I used to stage homes and by missing my deadlines due to my appointments for my RA, my employer was not happy. We came to an agreement that I could not be a part of his business due to my time limitations. I was devastated when I lost my job. I researched for many hours about what work I could find perform with my condition. I found out about a senior dog shelter about a half hour away from my house.

He is very flexible with my work schedule and allows me to leave or change shifts on short notice if I need to go home or to an appointment based on my physical state. My RA has also affected my hobbies. Before my diagnosis ten years ago, I ran a couple of marathons with my husband and we regularly ran around the trails at the local national park. However, my body is not physically able to run long distances anymore because of the pain and inflammation that occurs in my joints. I do miss being able to run long distances, but with the help and support of my husband, friends, family, and health care team, I found alternative activities to enjoy. My rheumatologist has also helped me to stay as active as I can be. I use to be at the gym for two hours at least three days a week. But I became constantly tired and sometimes my pain would prohibit me from attending to the point where I stopped going.

9. Media Self Image I couldn't agree with you more. In today's society it is very difficult for an adolescent to have a positive self image when the media is indirectly telling them something different. I was born in the 60's, and I would have to say growing up then was a lot easier then now. The media is constantly put images of girls with perfect slim body, over sized silicone breasts, and butt injected images everywhere and calling it beautiful. Then you have poor Suzi an adolescent weighing 90 pound, or Linda who weighs 140 pounds looking in the same mirror at themselves wondering why they fat and why they do not look like the girls in these magazines.
