MS is a struggle

Is it just be that struggles with the depression and not being able to be alone, i haven't been this scared of having ms like i am nowadays and I've had it for 7 years. I recently relapsed and it caused me so many problems. No one understands i feel like they think I'm just constantly complaining.

I felt exactly as you did last year. I went from being independent and loving my own company to feeling like I needed a constant companion and really didn't want to leave the house. I started researching mini projects. Working out how I could feed my family on low effort healthy meals, I wrote very short stories and did word searches. It was really to try use my illness constructively. You'll have to change your life style I'd imagine. Slow down and pace yourself. Have you seen your medical team since your relapse and looked at your medication?

@laura-forde I have started doing word searches to try take my mind off it. I struggled with depression and anxiety from when I was first diagnosed and I never had any support the whole way through the diagnosis only when I was 16. The depression and anxiety is better but sometimes it gets me down and it makes my ms so bad, the weather change isn’t helping, all my bones hurt and my feet are the worst so I’ve been using hot water bottle which is helping. I’ve seen a neurologist since my relapse and I’m having an mri on the 14th to see if the meds are helping but the relapse has seemed to have left some damage.
