Sorry I keep posting here asking if XYZ Symptom could be linked to MS. I know it’s hard to say and that only my nurse or doctor can tell me.
But just wondered whether anyone has experienced something similar ? I’ve seen a few posts about moodiness and depression but mine is slightly different. I’ve always suffered from anxiety and depression even before MS.
But for the last couple of years and much more this year, I get absolutely hysterical rage. It’s not normal and I am very embarrassed by it. I never used to get this way but now I just start screaming hysterically if something tips me over the edge. I’ve even thrown stuff around. I never used to do that or get this angry. I’ve never hurt anyone or anything like that. I just wondered whether maybe something is going on in my actual brain ? Or is this just who I am now.
I will tell my doctor and nurse too. It’s probably hard to say if it’s just how I am now or if it’s MS damaging some part of my brain.
Heya Bouds, thanks for your reply. It’s almost impossible to know why this happens. Which is the frustrating thing as it would be nice to just have an answer. I’ve been prescribed anti depressants a few times, but I’ve only ever taken it once - for one day and I felt really bad so I didn’t continue. I know that’s how it is and you feel worse for a few weeks but I have a baby to look after and I was really at rock bottom and it couldn’t get any worse. I just didn’t want to feel even worse at that point. Maybe I need to try again. I just want to feel better and more even tempered. My baby deserves it.
Ah Emily, bless you and the little one. Is there anyone else at home, who could take charge whilst you rest or get used to new meds…like anti depressants?
I have heard they can make you feel worse, before they make you feel better.
Have a word with your GP to check which meds would be best, with you being a mum of a baby.
