Feeling emotional today

I was diagnosed in August 2025, so this is all still new to me. I’m doing the best I can, listening to my body and trying not to feel overwhelmed. Most days I’m okay. Today hit me kind of hard. I got to work today and saw a fellow coworker (who also has MS) that I haven’t seen in months. I won’t go into details about their condition, but it scared me a lot to see them. I haven’t met anyone in person with MS besides this person. Seeing them struggling terrified me that one day I could get worse too. MS is a disease where you never know what will happen to you and the unknown might be the most terrifying thing to me. I try not to think about it. But seeing it with my own eyes just brought a level of reality to my situation that had not yet hit me. It’s left me feeling emotional and not sure what to do to make myself feel better. What do you all do when you get hit with feelings like this?

You can’t second guess MS or compare yourself to anyone else. Just concentrate on your wellbeing, take care of yourself and don’t put any energy into worrying, you don’t have that to spare, and worry won’t make anything better. Celebrate your daily wins.

And that is a great start listening to your body and not overwhelming your self. When you over stimulate your self it make stress worse which make your symptoms worse! I wish you all the luck #hugs
