Hi, I’ve had ms from a youngish age, but now 35, still at home, studying at the moment following training to be a hairdresser, then trained to work in an office for a charity, I feel like now I’m just watching other people get on with their lives. Sorry to be so negative but I can’t say to anyone else, I’d just bring everyone down! Was just looking to see if anyone else was in this position? I hope not, it’s pretty awkward! Thanks for listening xx

Hi lizzy , I had been working in healthcare and studying and graduated this week . I've just left my job for good and have done well In my results and attended my graduation this week . I was not going to attend the graduation as I felt useless . Looking at everyone so happy and I felt I'm only here to celebrate leaving my job for good . How I look at things in my life has changed hugely such as family , friends etc. It's a burden and very hurtful and disappointing. What I'm trying to say is you are not alone even doe you probly feel it. I felt like I was attending my graduation out of pure punishment 😕for what ill never understand as I am a young women ages 26 and it feels absolutely heart breaking .

Hi Lizzie, my thoughts are with you as I understand your feelings as I found out I had MS when I was 28 and a week before found out I was pregnant. I carried on working in London until I found traveling there too hard and my work load was too much. But i then started working locally which was good for me and I did this until the beginning of this year when my nurse didn’t feel it was safe to drive with relapses occurring. I felt really sad when I left my job in London as I had started there when I was 17 and worked with my boss for 24 years. I found talking about it to friends and family helped me loads. Stay strong and positive
