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

Hi, I suffer quiet badly with my mental health and I do wonder if its relating to the inflammation. I'm currently on ocrevus infusions but I am wondering if there would be a better treatment that would help more with these symptoms?

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.

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...

I think I suffer from SAD...seasonal affect depression. I'm loving the weather so far. I get up most days and go for a walk it really does help with the fatigue, mental health issues and overall mood. How are you guys.

Can’t take abled bodied people complaining seriously I get so angry

I hate when abled bodied people complain about anything. My sister always complains that her friends are too busy to hangout and cries or friend drama, or other shit. I saw in a mental health thing abled bodied people take so much for granted. I can’t take it. I can’t take their little problems se...
