Over reacting to help?
I've noticed a tendency of mine to over react when deep down people are just trying to help me.
My father in law started trying to open my wheelchair for me ansd I just started shouting at him, saying he of all people (he used to be an ambulance driver for patient transport) should know better. Now, fair enough if someone tries to move my chair when I'm sitting in it without asking me, but I just feel bad for reacting in that way. We were in a bar, so the music was quite loud, according to my wife I did come across aggresively.
Does anyone else find they over react to people trying to help? I don't know if its me still coming to terms with my MS, after four and a half years.
Hell yeah @Gav. I am a stubborn barsteward because of it - noo, don't hold the door open for me, I can do it myself! Sometimes I just accept help now when it's given because it makes life easier in the long run
I was very much like Chels-have an amazing partner who at times has had to do everything for me and I would apologise over and over again, feeling really guilty for needing help. Now, I accept that he helps because he loves me and accept that. It's been a learning curve for him too though of learning how much/ how little to do and when to just step in and help as opposed to waiting for me to ask...definitely a learning curve and adaption for us both:)
