Visualization is another method people use to feel more relaxed and less anxious. People who use visualization imagine that they are in a safe, relaxing place (such as the beach). Most of us use visualization without realizing it--for example, when we daydream or remember a fun, happy time in our lives.
Focusing on a safe, comfortable place can help you to feel less stress, and sometimes it can lessen the symptoms of hepatitis C or side effects from the medicines you are taking.
You can ask your VA doctor where you can learn more about visualization. There are classes you can take, and there are self-help tapes that you can listen to that lead you through the process.
