TB Feelings

Using this picture to talk with someone about how they feel about having TB:

  • In the past people who’ve been told they have TB have had all different kinds of feelings about it. Scared, nervous, happy or relieved to have a clear direction, sad, angry. And it’s okay to feel many feelings at once too.

  • Just like before, you don’t have to answer if you’re uncomfortable, but you’ve had a few days to sit with it, how do you feel now about having TB?

  • It’s totally normal to feel that way. Thank you for being honest.
