Stress

Hello there beautiful people! I'm really edgy so I thought I'd have a rant and get some of it off my chest... It's been a wild ride since my diagnosis, my mum passed away a fortnight before and my alcoholic boyfriend cheated on me before promptly sodding off to detox in those two weeks. He has been ...

Hi everyone, Was just wondering how people deal with stress, I’m about to move flats and starting a new job and the last thing I need is a MS relapse. I’ve found that the more stressed I’ve been my MS can get difficult. Thanks x

Stress

I know that stress is to be avoided at all costs...but it seems to be hunting me down and targeting me like a heat seeking missile. I am trying to duck and dive, to be like water and to hide my head and pretend i am not here. Nup, as soon as i open my eyes the next issue is there in my in-tray. 1....
