Hi zoeconner90
Have you spoken with your GP regarding your mental health?

7 years on my mental health ebs and flows. I am currently in counselling which I’ve had on and off since diagnosis. It doesn’t cure my MS, but it gives space to try and sort out a sometimes difficult life. No 21 year old should have to think about all the shizzle we do. There is still joy in the world- sometimes it’s just surviving a hard bit to see it.

I recommend that you talk to a medical professional to try and get some help.

Sending love

Hiya! I’m quite young aswell with ms being 15 and I understand the pain of being young and isolating yourself on top of MS, please don’t feel bad for isolating yourself this illness on top of mental stress can be a lot a lot to handle and even getting day by day shows how strong you can be, well from what I’ve learnt anyways! I suggest trying to talk to your doctors regarding some mental support, it can be a bit of a wait but it will help greatly! Things always get better no matter how bad the situation or pain don’t give up hope :blush: !
Best of wishes to you!

It’s heart-breaking to read these messages. I really feel for you. I have MS, only RRMS, but am also a counsellor who works with people with chronic illness and there are reasons for optimism and hope, and learning you can undergo in relation to Mindfulness Meditation, for example, which can help you manage your suffering much more effectively. It won’t cure the MS, but at least you won’t suffer as much. Definitely worth looking into x
