Coming to terms... sort of
Rarely post but I've turned a corner on my PPMS and actually recognize the symptoms. However, I'm struggling with the impact.
In the last two months I've had hip replacement surgery, admitted to the hospital for severe pain and developed an abscess on my left arm. My wife was in the hospital for a week with a bad virus and I was taking care of the kids and house.
With that said the impact MS has on my ability (or lack there of) to function is startling. Today my fatigue was unlike anything I've ever experienced. My mental health has also turned (I'm not going to harm myself) where it feels/looks like family/friends think I'm the reason things haven't been done.
I'm also recognizing that I'm going to have to change careers. I know that doing HR Generalist work is not good with my cognitive decline. I've been looking for work since being laid off but I'm just not feeling it. Even things around the house feel off and I can't tell if it's me or something is up.
Anyways this was mostly to vent. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Yes I’ve definitely been experiencing some of what you’re describing. This is the place to vent to others riding this awful ride, so definitely use us While nowhere near wanting to hurt myself, my mental health isn’t exactly a strong suit. I find myself wanting to have a nice cry every few days, for many different reasons.
