Denial?
If I have a rare good day and feel relatively well I tend to push the MS aside so it's not in every waking thought.
Someone I was chatting to recently told me I was in total denial!
After 11+ years since diagnosis I kind of think I've learnt to walk (or stumble) alongside my MS by now.
I mean come on, surely we're given permission to forget it, if we can for those odd moments🤷♀️
I'm sure you're not in denial just dealing with it in the best possible way. It's nice to forget it when you can x
I recently attended the Hackney MS Society Wellbeing Day, it was actually more like an induction day for MS newbies and they touched on mental/emotional support. When I got initially dx, I went straight into denial for almost a decade after and the disease just kept schtum tbf. Maybe if I go back into denial, the multiple sclerosis will get better on its own and go away for another decade again hopefully. 🤞
