Holidays and struggles
I’m away at the moment with my partner. Munich is lovely and incredibly accessible. The people are kind to let me use staff lifts if they’re closer etc. I found the same in Crete which has such accessible beaches. The problem is even with all this accessibility I feel sad and frustrated. I am frustrated from what I can’t do, what I have to do, the difficulty in achieving my goals and just this constant feeling of not quite getting out of it what I want. I feel so ungrateful. I’m here I should be enjoying what I can, and I am but I’m also really resentful.
I struggle to snap myself out of that mindset, and not let it affect my irritability. Any tips 🧡
It's really hard isn't it to feel grateful and thankful when you are preoccupied with what you can't do and have to plan everything around your own limitations and it just isn't fair. Looking at other people it appears they are fine I'm sure...and able...and happy! But being sad,frustrated,angry even, is just as important an emotion as feeling happy. I think it's learning to accept the negative emotions too that we struggle with,when life makes us feel like we need to be happy most of the time x
Allow yourself to feel what you feel. You are totally allowed. MS is 💩. Anger is totally normal. We are allowed to grieve. Check out the grieving cycle. We will experience loss every time we have an attack. Life changes after diagnosis. You are welcome to vent here. We all know. Sounds like you managed some awesome travel 👍.
