"The Power of Letting Go of What You Can't Control "Life is too short. I can't control everything in my life. Trying to is exhausting!!" - member of MyHemophiliaTeam

When first faced with a hemophilia diagnosis, a common fear is a lack of control over our health. How could our bodies betray us? How do we grab the reins back and fix the situation? Living with hemophilia forces us to recognize what we can and cannot control.

Members on MyHemophiliaTeam have various strategies for letting go of control and fear, including:

1) using guided imagery to visualize letting go
2) opening up and trusting others
3) organizing or cleaning the house
4) reaching out for support from other members on MyHemophiliaTeam

• "On the last day of the summer holiday with my wife, not wanting to go home! Happy to say no breakthrough bleeds the entire time!"
• "Hurting a little more this morning, but I can deal with it, hope everyone has a great day !!"
• "I have had a great few days. Only a few more bruises, and only 2 new red spots. We got this...just took a challenge with the hubby a 25 lbs weight loss challenge. Oh boy what did I do....haha"
