Question
Hello! I haven’t posted yet but I’m curious about something.
Does MS make you fixate on something? Think about something and can’t let it go?
Here’s the situation. I work full time as a teacher. To have jury summons this week and next week. I am in a masters degree program that requires intern hours which I’m currently doing in another district. I have a grant that releases me for hours to do so.
The district I work in has mixed up and made my internship very difficult. Back in NOVEMBER when I got my summons I cleared my schedule for January so I wouldn’t have conflict. I can’t enter the absences myself for my internship since it is tied to a grant. The person who is doing the entering, enters the information wrong constantly!! I always am calling and having her correct it. Well today I’m on jury summons (luckily didn’t get called) and I had a 1/2 day for my internship which I cancelled in NOVEMBER!
Now all I can do is think about how this got messed up and could have been a cluster F if you will if I did have jury duty. I’m grumpy and my mind is swimming!!!
How do I let go? Is it an MS thing? How do I not fixate?!?
Yeah, not the only one. That sounds like a situation normal, all messed up, haha. For me anxiety and occasssional fixation on things are part of MS. Like negative or potentially negative things get bigger than they should so I gotta be mindful of why I'm thinking what I'm thinking -specially, the trio of, could have / would have / should have, thought cluster F. I'm too young for this shit.. on the other hand I occassionally make the fixations on the positive and imagine side of thinking bigger than they should be, which really is the sh*t. lols
It’s hard to say but anxiety and depression are common in people with MS. Personally, I don’t know if I’m anxious because I have MS or if being anxious contributed to my getting it? Either way it’s something I have to work on if that makes sense.
