Your sexuality is part of who you are – and living with a health condition can sometimes affect your sexual development or your choices for contraception and/or reproduction. By asking questions and getting accurate information, you can make more informed choices about your body, your sexuality, and your future.
Think about the people in your life who show up for you – whether it’s every day or just when things get tough and you need an extra hand. That could be family, friends, neighbours, and teachers who can help. These are the people who can be part of your support crew and network – and maybe even take on special roles that you need.
Living with a new or chronic health condition can be hard on your body and your emotional health. Even so, there are ways to feel good and enjoy your daily life. Try small changes that work for you, like new foods, fun activities, ways to exercise that you enjoy, and connecting with others.
As a young person, start thinking about what you want your future to look like. You might think about school and jobs that interest you. Think about how your health might affect your work or income in the future. While making your plan, think about your skills and talents and the opportunities available to you.
Your home should be a place where you feel safe, comfortable, and supported in your body and your feelings. As you get older or your health changes, you might need to make changes at home or think about where you live. Talk with people you trust and choose what works best for your health and comfort.
