Shift.ms is better if you're logged in

Thinking about what the future might hold is very difficult to avoid unfortunately. I look back on my first ten years and wish I'd appreciated my low level of disability more at the time. So appreciating what you still have and still can do is a good starting point for feeling more positive generally - something I still do today, even though I'm significantly worse.

It really is difficult to avoid and I’m sorry it’s affected you the way it has. It’s nice to hear that you still feel positive appreciating what you can still do. Sometimes I feel I’m pushing my hubby away because I’m always thinking how I don’t want to feel like a burden. I’ve lost A LOT of myself since needing a walking aid for balance due to feeling constantly dizzy. I try not to moan too much about pain because I’ve chosen to avoid painkillers to ease the unsteadiness. I still work full time because I don’t want to feel defeated by ms, it’s just so draining and now I feel I need that work/life balance.
