Hi
I was diagnosed in 2008, I'm so tired of being tired. I miss working. I'm 43 years. I had hopes and dreams. But that went away. Can anyone offer words of hope. There are days I feel like God has forgotten me. I have talked people out suicide, mentored others. But helping myself. Friends say I miss calling, I should have been psychologist. Looked into too expensive and the work load so heavy my MS would not allow me such heavy academic load. MS doesn't cause death, but it takes quality of life. Any words of hope would be appreciated. Ty
Hi @silentguardianangel and welcome. I can understand your feelings. I liken MS to the living death, it's taken a lot of me but wants me to survive. It is an insidious condition. But, it is what it is and we have to work with what we've got. There's a place/role for all of us. We just have to find it. What's your family life like? Partner, children, etc?
You sound like you haven't found or accepted your new life. My husband and I have accepted that our life isn't going to be totally predictable. Today I went grocery shopping, but I am too tired to put them away. So I am going to leave them on the counter and let my husband do it when he gets home from work. It is really quite amusing to watch him, he is not very good at it so I get quite tickled watching. Who knew being too tired to put groceries away could be so much fun. Potter
