Hi Leanne I used to feel like that shortly after my diagnosis. In fact I was fairly cool with the whole diagnosis thing at the time (it was more of a relief to know what was going on and that I would get some medical assistance going forward). The only time I cried was months after my diagnosis when I went to my Doctor about something else (minor) and I asked an MS related question. My doctor told me her mother had had MS and that I should "live for today" - When I got home I cried. She said it so coldly. Anyway - If you're feeling down I can relate to that, I think we all can. I'm guessing it's a general thing, could be MS ends up playing on your mind a lot etc. Keep an eye on your feelings and if needs be discuss it with your MS nurse or GP. You won't be the only one feeling like this (we can all have an emotional wobble occasionally) For the first couple of years after diagnosis many people find it emotionally tough. For many they start to realise even though they have MS nothing much changes on a daily basis. I guess everyone is different. Matthew

I'm actually going through that as we speak. I had back to back doctor appointments with some specialist. I also have Diabetes and am going to a sleep clinic next week because they suspect I might also have sleep apnea and narcolepsy on top of my MS fatigue . I was exhausted , but I made it through the day. I woke up this morning so depressed and weepy . It's so overwhelming sometimes and I get so tired of fighting it. I'm just going to rest up today and hope I feel better. I go through several emotions throughout the day. I'll be fine one moment and then feel like atons of bricks hit me.
