Help wanted!

Hi Guys, I am wondering if anyone can help me? I got diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS 6years ago now and feel I haven't accepted it. I feel like I never have received help with how it effects me emotionally, some days I wish I had never been given the diagnoses of MS as it feels like it plays a part in how I live my every day, today life (ie I shouldnt do that it will make me to tired). Does any one have any advice or feel the same as me?. Thanks xx

strawberrygirl Having multiple sclerosis is just a label for something that affects your life. Your life isn't MS.... hope that's profound enough to get you thinking about something else :)

@Stumbler

Here you go, <a href='https://shift.ms/community/people/strawberrygirl/' rel='nofollow'>@strawberrygirl</a>, here's a list of the possible emotional phases that you may go through:- 1. Shock and Denial 2. Pain and Guilt 3. Anger and Bargaining 4. Depression, reflection, loneliness 5. The upward turn 6. Reconstruction and working through 7. Acceptance and hope As you're probably aware, it's not a straightforward journey as you may revisit certain phases. But, it's useful to see the journey written down. Hope this helps
