Going out

I went to a local gig today and I was thinking how different your priorities are when you have MS.

This girl, Jade, was (and still is) perfect for me. She appreciates the same random music as me, h...

Depression and MS, a lonely topic

A somewhat troublesome topic for some of us with MS, the whole emotional with feelings and MS, specifically the low times. These can be difficult to admit to someone else but it's oh so important that you do, it can even be difficult to admit to yourself. I have been experiencing depression to do w...

MS and depression

After chatting with some other MSers here, I thought it a good idea to share my story. The aim being to show that there is help out there and you shouldn't be afraid to ask for it. In the last few months, I have been plagued by thoughts of suicide. Now this isn't the norm for me. I am generally a...

MS has definitely taken away a lot of my confidence, assisted in me losing friends, and made me someone who stays in rather than being social. So... I ...
