A few days after having suffered burn injuries, survivors may experience the following:
- Helplessness
- Hopelessness
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Tension
- Sadness
- Loneliness
Burn injuries take a while to heal. They may make it difficult to sleep as one can only sleep on a certain side, which leads to insomnia, crankiness the day after, and impaired productivity. In addition, burn survivors may experience a hard time socializing and staying in contact with close friends and family, and they may think that people are talking about them.
Burn survivors often feel distressed when they think about the long-term consequences of their injuries, as well as if they will be left with lasting scars. In addition, burn injuries will start to itch as they heal, and this may prompt the individual to scratch said itch which only delays the healing process and may cause healing wounds to open up again.
As a burn survivor, here are some of the things you can do to help yourself:
- Sign up for psychotherapy, even if it’s being done virtually as this will help you find emotional tools you can use to heal from the emotional scars
- Consider joining support groups for burn victims as this will provide you with much-needed emotional support
- Seek out work that can be done virtually or a few hours a day in line with your burn injuries in order to keep your mind occupied
- Make sure to take your medication regularly, and ask your healthcare provider for painkillers and other pain relieving medical modalities to help manage the pain
- Physical rehabilitation will help you gain your confidence back as well as independence.
