Well I’ve been here for a week, just loitering, deciding if this was my lil “cup of tea” so to speak. Even though I may not meet any of you, I just wanna say thanks! @itsmewithms, @watsoncraig, @stumbler, and so many more(names come and go sry) I was in a deep depression and funny I saw the link on FB! I joined thru email, too ashamed for everyone to know. I just don’t need questions. I’ve had MS for 27 years, and despite all- I choose to be cheerful. Annoying.... I know, right?!lol I am a strong encourager, a trait which comes from hard times. I can’t explain how low I felt that day I clicked that link. Now I never feel alone battling this Kraken myself. In fact I look forward to reading and contributing from afar. Thanks so much, mental health is 1/2 the battle. I was thinking too much alone. Almost Psychosomatic. Fear I suppose. Since then I’ve decided to be transparent about it. People think I’m stronger than I am, because I hide the symptoms. I’m done pretending, & being in denial! I can’t hide it really anyways lol. Cheers! I still have goals, a week ago I’d given up on. Can’t wait for this year now!! ❤️😁Chao, love and be well everyone!!

Hello @bershrp1, what a lovely post! Us, I’ve learned how having a positive outlook can really help with our condition, although that’s easier said than done, I know. Brilliant that you’re looking forward to the year ahead. Keep those spirits up! 😀

Morning... Glad you have found a new home here...I was diagnosed a year ago and found that being able to speak with others paddling in the same canoe was helpful.... Looks like we share something in common, Eh? I married a gal from Saint John, N.B. Take a deep breath...go get a Timmies...and take a day at a time! We are all MS Warriors! KM
