<s>[INST] Now that I’ve been diagnosed with ESRD, I’m having trouble with my feelings. What can I do?  [/INST] Getting the word that you have ESRD can open up a floodgate of emotions. It’s a serious disease, but thanks to kidney dialysis treatments and other forms of support, you can still live your life and even thrive. If you’re finding it hard to stay optimistic, talking to a trusted friend or loved one can help. If you need a professional counselor, speak with a social worker who can help you sort out your feelings and also connect you to other counselors or resources.  Source: FRESENIUS KIDNEY CARE.
