I know it's time to quit working and focus on my health, however, no one understands and thinks I'm giving up. I dont feel as though that I have a good support from my partner or family. How do I do this alone?

Two and a half years through

Hi, I've not been here for ages because it wasn't good for my mental health. I just really needed a safe space to vent. I'm on the maximum dose of Sertraline at the moment but I don't feel that it's helping enough. I was diagnosed with RRMS in December 2022 and my life has completey changed sin...

Gabor Maté Autoimmune Theory

About yesterday's post

Please can people think before commenting on people's posts who are on the edge of a mental breakdown. If life is too tough for someone, they physically cannot get out of bed or take care of themselves and they clearly have tried everything they know in terms of trying to access support to be able t...

Just incase you didn't know

Picking yourself up by the bootstraps is physically impossible, the origin of the saying was sarcastic to imply a task is impossible. Yes hard work is important but guess what?
