Hi, so I was diagnosed with MS in Jan 21. It took a long time and lots of visits to different docs to get the diagnosis which finally came after MRI last January.

My anxiety is off the charts since covid. I don’t think I can live alone anymore, really wish I could live with one of my kids. But I don’t think they want that, I need a solution

Anxiety?

I have had MS for 30+ years. I have SPMS. I'm very independent, and emotionally strong (or was). I 'feel' like I am having increased difficulty coping, not so much with my symptoms (because I think i'm doing really well, and I feel incredibly well), but with life in general. If I go anywhere (even w...
