Anxiety

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

Hi All, A number of my posts have highlighted my continual weight loss. After many tests it appears that it is due to anxiety. I guess I’d overlooked this, but now I tend to wake up at 4am, the MS nurse feels it is anxiety. Having grown up with two alcoholics, albeit very loving, I’ve possibly al...

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...

I just wanted to share a tidbit I got from a show called The Doctors. They said there was a new study released that if people ruminating after failing at something would refer to themselves as You instead of I greatly decreases their anxiety levels. So when your scolding yourself say something li...

My appointment with the neurologist is 3 weeks away. It seemed when it was scheduled (back in July) that it was so far away. I'm so afraid that the neurologist won't listen to me or take me seriously. My doctor specifically told me at my last appointment with her "Do not let them dismiss you, you ne...

Childhood trauma/anxiety/depression

Does anyone have any idea if being subjected to a loveless childhood (from a parent, namely my father) could potentially lead to brain lesions? It's a long shot but I was a quivering mess as a kid, unbearably shy and fearful, of people. It's affected my mental health since I was young. I just live w...
