Feeling like I am being punished for having MS. I am hopeful that I will feel strong enough to start working again, I am used to long work weeks. Plus the financial situation is stressful. The disability process has already passed one year in duration. I am about to lose my car with less than a year left to pay. Get denied grom HRA. I am alive and still feel like I am winning, but losing my car because I was diagnosed with MS is messed up.

Yes me too. Life can seem hard and pointless sometimes but we have to stay strong and muddle through.
