@I confess I faked it for the first year I was diagnosed. I pretend to be like everyone else “normal” It was hard n it should have been I was living a lie in a way. I believe it was because I was diagnosed with ms when I was still in high school 17 years old. So honestly I am 40 now and feel free like I was forced to hide everything in my secret box in my mind and now it’s ok to be honest,to make friends with people who are like me that I can listen and also learn which I’m embarrassed to admit this is true that I’ve finally accepted that I have Multiple Sclerosis n that’s ok. on Shift.ms
