I have had MS for 30+ years. I have SPMS. I'm very independent, and emotionally strong (or was). I 'feel' like I am having increased difficulty coping, not so much with my symptoms (because I think i'm doing really well, and I feel incredibly well), but with life in general. If I go anywhere (even with family) I feel uncomfortably 'out of my depth', and dont feel at ease until I get back home in my own surroundings. I cope, and get around so well at home, but away from home I'm a wreck. Is this anxiety? Having always been a fairly confident person, I dont like the way I feel now. I am self-employed and work from home, but seem to get easily stressed about it all now. Does anyone understand how I am feeling? How do you deal with it? xx
