Hi everybody, I was diagnosed with PSMS two years now. A month before the first lockdown. So you can imagine no real support available for me. I used to be a strong independent person with a sense of humour . Now I’ve got no friends who call to meet for a coffee. I feel so isolated. I don’t like tra...

I lost all hope I’m feeling lonely but I lost all confidence in myself with my eyes. No job, no money, can’t drive, live with my parents I don’t have much to offer. Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror or pictures n I think I look so ugly with my eyes.

“You lost your confidence” “where?!”

I hear so often that my lack of confidence is my biggest flaw with MS. I want to know how you guys keep confident?

Playing the memory game

Does anyone else start to say something with such confidence only to forget everything you were even talking about? Like not even just the words you were going to say but the entire idea. It didn't happen much when I was diagnosed 10 years ago but since I've had Covid Delta variant, flu, Covid (not ...
