It is very important that you take care of yourself and other family members who have been through this crisis. Be sure to take your regular medications (insulin, blood pressure, antidepressant, etc.) and don't hesitate to seek medical help if you feel sick following the confusion and anxiety as a result of this disaster.

A variety of health care resources are available for you as you need them and you are encouraged to take advantage of them promptly. Your normal resistance to illness may have been lowered as a result of the stress you have been experiencing. You want to make every effort to build yourself up again. Take your vitamins, eat properly, get enough sleep and seek medical help quickly if you or your children begin to feel ill.

Using this method to deal with difficult situations often creates a whole new set of problems and causes more stress for everyone involved.
