Feeling Alone

I just feel that, even though my family and friends are supportive, they don't fully appreciate how bad my symptoms can get (unless they go through it, I know they wouldn't understand). Sometimes I just feel useless and unable to function and it feels like they're "bored" of hearing about my "excuses."

Hello @adrianna_k. The truth about our condition is that no matter how much support we have, no one else can ever really know what it feels like to be us. Do you take somebody with you to appointments? Even when we are feeling well, this disease is still rumbling away below the surface. Lesions don’t heal or disappear, maybe you can find a way to introduce people to the actual science of MS. There are lots of short vids on here.or on Youtube. There is lots of support on here for you, so stay strong x

Why does it matter? Seriously... Your role is to take care of #1; yourself... Forget everyone else. MS is just another challenge in our lives; one of many - very many. What you need is friends / family who accept us for who we are. For what we are able to contribute to the relationship. Find them; keep them close...
