Does anyone celebrate? 🥳
So recently I graduated from paralegal school. I was invited to graduation, but I don’t know if I should go. Then my boss asked me how do I celebrate myself and I said I don’t. This is a stark reminder of how I don’t celebrate myself or anything outside of my kid. I don’t even celebrate my birthday in fact every year I take time to cry about all the things I forgot to cry about during the year. I have done this every year since diagnosis.
Has anyone else with MS experienced a lack of wanting to celebrate things? If so, what? Do you celebrate yourself now? If so, how?
Yes! I celebrate my accomplishments. It is good to focus on yourself too. The vibe is what sets the mood around. I have been noticing that if I am having an off day, my family is having one too. So I try and stay strong for them.
Since I got diagnosed last year I celebrated nothing - only my kids' birthdays. As an adult birthdays have lost their magic anyway, but since MS I don't want to celebrate at all. Why would I?
