Cognitive issues............

I was diagnosed last year, i thought I was lucky with relatively light physical symptoms. Balance, some pain but cognitive problems are really starting again.............. Does anyone have issues of trying to make simple calculations work in your head? I find it difficult at the moment. I'm trying to help my daughter with her school work but I really need to concentrate, plus I feel so lazy about it too. Its not just that, but trying to work out anything really. Other symptons are forgetting words, slurring, dizziness, some pain (although largely controlled), memory loss and a few others. The cognitive issues are a worry. I must admit that I am very stressed at the moment.......being made redundant, divorce and other issues..... having to isolate away from my kids for 2 months didn't help with the relationship there Depression keeps creeping over me, but i don't want anti depressants. The gym normally helps but i can't go. I am on ocrevus which of course is an immune suppresant and I was wondering if this might impact on my mental health? I dont know if I'm lapsing, but I think its things which have happened historically so hopefully not. Normally I'm very positive minded and I should be, but the cognitive things are getting to me...... i wonder if I can actually learn for a new job? Sorry for the winging rant, I just feel lost with it all.

I'm not on any drugs, but find it difficult to work things out it's like my brain gets overloaded and the more I try to work things out the worse it gets but with me its not all the time I'm worse when I'm tired,i think it's just a another thing what happens when you have ms, stress defiantly makes it worse.

Thanks Simone, didn't know if its related to the MS or not, thought it might be but it now looks like it is, thankyou
