It's natural to find it difficult to adjust after getting a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. It's a big deal. The emotional impacts, such as anxiety and depression, often go undiagnosed, but we know just how important they are. You're not alone.

Mental health

How do you deal with the trauma that comes with the life changing condition . I’ve been feeling mentally drained and wondered if anyone else feels this. Something simple as watching tv and seeing people able to walk “normally” or wanting to try something new like a sport but lacking confidence😣

Just when I thought my mental health couldn't get worse

My dad decides to berate me about my weight and lack of life. I'm not sure what I can do anymore to get people to understand I'm in constant agony and that being bed bound is not a choice I'm making. That I actually need help to do the most basic life tasks to be able to live rather than just sur...

Mental Health diagnosis and possible MS

So I was diagnosed with treatment resistant depression a few years ago. During the depression I had weird experiences that I mostly suppressed/ignored due to being so overwhelmed by the depression and EXTREME fatigue. I finally got my depression under control and now the things I've been ignoring ...
