Trying to be normal!
Ok, so how many of us struggle to just be 'Normal'??
I spend every day trying to be as I was!! Working full time running a business, running a house, ferrying my kids around to all of their activities,cooking, cleaning, washing, shopping, try to be a good wife, its endless!!
I do this all, everyday!! Everyday!! but im just soooo f***ing tired and exhausted all of the time. My body doesn't work, my body hurts, my brain doesn't function but im expected to do all of this every day!!
I try to be normal, like I always was but its sooooo bloody hard!! But I do it and no-one, absolutely no-one gets it!! I dont know anyone at all that has MS but I know that soooo many people do have MS.
Please, please tell me im not the only one.
I have discovered "normal" for me is what others consider to be abnormal. For example, to have a "good day" with little to no symptoms would be abnormal. To be tired, dizzy, spaced out mentally would be normal for me. And normal is constantly changing because my symptoms change. There was a time when I thought I could get back to "normal," meaning before I became sick. I thought once I got on medication, I could be "normal " again and even go back to work. Sadly, that's not been the case. My expectations of how my life is supposed to look has changed since I've been diagnosed. Trying to function well in a non-functioning body is just going to make things worse for me. I have to accept things have changed. I hope this helps 🧡
