6. Seek Support
Social support is important, and a great stress reliever. Join a group with other asthma sufferers where you can share your experience and learn from them — no one can understand your condition like someone who also suffers from it.
Family and friends are also important because they can help you stay positive, be as active and independent as possible, go to doctors’ appointments with you and simply be with you when you have a hard time dealing with your stress and asthma symptoms.
