Good morning all, I said I would write about the emotional toll MS has had on me over the last 10-15 years. It’s taken me a bit to figure out how to word or articulate what I’m thinking, and how not to sound as some say, “bipolar”.. I find myself up and down, not just on a week to week basis, but throughout each and every day. It doesn’t take much to get in a funk, and it sure takes a whole lot of time to get out of one. Some of those closest to me think I’m bipolar or manic depressed, which doesn’t help how I’m trying to deal with my Swiss cheese brain.. I am so very grateful to have my boys in my life, they are my absolute everything. They pull me out of the darkest places on a regular basis. I think the biggest thing for US to remember, when we feel like we can’t go on anymore, is that the emotional rollercoaster we are all on is induced by something real.. WE are not delusional, and even though we are slowly losing our minds and bodies, we need to remember why. The MS is most definitely magnifying the depression we are dealing with. Mental health has become a focal point of society over the last few years. I don’t think people understand that MS puts depression on steroids…
