Advice needed pls
Hi, I was diagnosed with ms a few months back. I am 17 years old.
I get panic attacks very often where I feel like I'm in a high state. I feel disconnected from the world like I am viewing it from a screen. I hate when this happens and it lasts as long as my mind is on it. As soon as I shift my focus I forget about it.
does this happen to anyone else? should I seek help? this all came as a shock as none of my family members or anyone ever had ms and especially at a very young age, I get into these deep thoughts which lead to these attacks.
It does happen to me. You have just had your life changed at the blink of an eye I would seek out help, as we can give you advice over the internet but kind words aren't going to fix the problem. Remember you aren't alone if you need a laugh or support my inbox is always open.
Hi @shahzaib_saleem_-_rick_hansen_ss_2542 and welcome. MS is a shock diagnosis at any age, but more so when you're young. You now need to fight back and your main weapon will be knowledge. You need to understand what this diagnosis actually means to you. Here is a good place to start, follow the "Newly Diagnosed" link :- https://support.mstrust.org.uk/shop MS is not terminal. It needn't be disabling. So, listen to your medical team. There are now a range of treatments available, more so than 10 years ago. So, keep talking to us, about your fears and your innermost feelings and we'll do our best to help you regain your sense of perspective.
