Motivation

Is anyone else having a really hard time with trying to do better health wise. After my diagnosis of RRMS I got so depressed. It seems like I cannot find even an ounce of motivation to get me to eat better or exercise. I just don’t even understand. With everything else I have to deal with, kids, inj...
