I was diagnosed with lupus, and I've been through chemotherapy.

My mother was a lupus patient. I was a child with the lupus gene.

Stress exacerbates any problem, whether it's diabetes, heart trouble, MS, or whatever.

I have been extremely pleased to support the Trust's work in the Lupus Unit ever since. Personal experience also motivated me to become involved to help raise the awareness of the disease and hopefully thereby improve the speed of diagnosis.

If you don't think your anxiety, depression, sadness and stress impact your physical health, think again. All of these emotions trigger chemical reactions in your body, which can lead to inflammation and a weakened immune system. Learn how to cope, sweet friend. There will always be dark days.

I had every stress-related illness you can get.

Depression scares people off. It makes me laugh that it has that kind of effect.

I believe a lot of disease comes from anxiety, loneliness.

I have suffered from depression for most of my life. It is an illness.

When you're under stress, your immune system doesn't work as well.
