How did you come to terms with your diagnosis?
I’m 38, and have 2 beautiful boys (11 and 8). I feel like our lives are over. I don’t want to become a burden on everyone around.
The idea of a relapse that renders me bed bound for weeks is terrifying. How will I take care of my family, and participate in normal life stuff?
Am I at risk of driving somewhere and suddenly being in a dangerous position due to a relapse? How do you all move forward with that risk?
How long did it take you to accept this new version of your life?
Your looking at the negatives remember there are good DMTs out there and your children are a little older which helps, mine are 9 and 14 and are able to do things for themselves and around the house to help out sometimes.the worry is there at first I was the same but understanding and changes will help you move forward!! Remember there is always somebody worse off. But accepting diagnosis can take a year or so to sink in
I really hope so. I’m just so afraid at the moment. We lead a busy life and the idea of no longer being there for everything just breaks my heart.
