Pre-warning................depressing post!

I don't really know what posting this is going to achieve but i guess I feel completely lost in life and un-able to enjoy anything. Back story, i was diagnosed in 2009, MS has always been very active, tried Tysabri, Lemtrada and now Kesimpta, was very up and down till last Nov when the MS just nose dived, that's the last time i was at work, the MS hasn't improved since. My wife of 10 years who i have 3 boys with told me she wanted a separation early last year so i moved back with my parents as i cant afford or manage on my own, she tells me MS didn't come into it but i know it played a big part. I'm having counseling to try and get my head around all this but with only my parents to talk to about it as all my "friends" are long gone, it's tough as i'm sure you all know. If it wasn't for my boys i would have said f@#k it ages ago, but i have to keep pushing on for them, i just don't know what to do if i can no longer work, also can't move out from my parents as i need their help when i have the boys. Sorry for the super long sob story, just needed to vent!

That sounds tough. The counselling sounds like a positive step though. I found counselling sessions to be helpful when I needed them. Are there any local MS Society groups near where you live? I don't go to mine any more but they seem quite active with meet ups and swimming sessions etc. There's always buddying with someone else with MS... both shift.ms and the MS Society have buddying programmes. It's always good to let off steam with someone else who gets it I think.That might appeal. MS nurses might also be a good source of info about local support available to you.
