I'm so tired of feeling like I'm not good enough, worthless, alone. I'm afraid that I'll be alone for the rest of my life. Ik that if I'm alone when my mom passes that I won't be able to stop my suicidal ideation from taking over. I have borderline personality disorder and my worst fear is being alone not having anyone to help me walk through the pain that my mom passing will bring. This has been on my mind so much lately. I am honestly afraid of what will happen... I fight with my mental health the most. Besides the fatigue my depression, my borderline personality disorder and suicidal ideation is something I have always had a hard time with. Any feedback would be great.

Looked since 2012 to find out what was wrong. In 2020 I was diagnosed with PPMS. Been fighting since. What puzzled me is as soon as I was diagnosed the progression has been off the wall very quick.

Just want to introduce myself and say hello. I was diagnosed in 2014 plus I have dysautonomia, chronic migraine, chronic fatigue syndrome, degenerate disc disease, sleep apnea and depression. . It's something everyday between the exhaustion and headaches/migraines and my back I rarely have a good day but I keep fighting it.i keep my little grand baby a few days a week my daughter helps me she lives with me and is disabled but she sure does help with her. I have a son which is my granddaughter daddy and a daughter in law. I'm recently divorced after 36 yrs he had a mid life crisis I think just completely different now and got remarried a few months after divorced but I’ve learned it’s his loss. Just wanted to say hello and I pray everyone has a good day.

MS might mess with my body, but it can’t stop me from pressing ‘Start.’ Gaming’s my escape—who else is logging in to fight pain with play?

Hi! I was diagnosed with RRMS in 2000. I am glad I found this platform to connect with others fighting this disease. I hope everyone has a great night.

I know that MS is different for each indhividual but just want those just diagnosed to know I went almost 25 years trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Don’t go off the deep end worrying about what if? Work with your Doctor to find a treatment that is best for YOU. Remember you are your own best advocate! Im 68 now and still fight it every day

I've taken a few energy medications that work for awhile then stop. What do y'all take to fight this fatigue monster?

How all y’all peep’s living we all living the dream right one day will wake up yea this ms shit is for the birds changed my whole life I used to be a go getter some days I don’t even wanna move was diagnosed back in 2017 they also said I’ve had it for a few years prior Eason three different meds yeah just sucks anymore man my life is just totally ruined not really ruined but you guys know it’s just a lot of things that we can’t do that. We wanna do. I got a three year-old kid little boy two daughters. I don’t see them. Their mother left me. I was in a freak accident. I got an involuntary manslaughter charge. I worked at a metal shop in. King of Prussia Pennsylvania called Zico and we are playing on the job and the guy got hit him a piece of metal and went right through his head and he died two days later man I kinda messed me up to. I got locked up and I was married. She left me because of the incident she didn’t want me jeopardizing her career so she ended it when I was in jail for the incident. I’ve been in quite a few accidents drinking a drive and you know I mean, I got a metal plate in my face. I got tore my ACLMCL never been sick that day in my life before man it’s crazy now all of a sudden I was in rehab. I stopped doing cocaine back in 2017 when I got diagnosed and one day I went to group and they said I didn’t look right so I had to go get checked out I went and got checked out and they told me it was Lyme disease at first and then they sent me to Christiana Delaware and that’s when I was in there for about three weeks. They finally figured out it was MS they said I’ve had a couple years prior to make diagnosed. It changed my whole life man I don’t even wanna do anything and get up. Just sit here in my ass. It’s wild something like that can change you but the key is just gotta keep fighting man keep pushing it just don’t kill yourself in the process. Can’t wait to talk to you guys. Hope everybody has a good night.
