Hi All,
I have had MS for about 8 years now, and have never really reached out to anyone for help or support. At this point, I am so beyond being overwhelmed. I was pretty well functioning until about a year and a half ago. I was then hospitalized for almost complete paralysis in my legs. I can now only barely manage to walk with a cane. I also have chronic severe pain, severe fatigue, etc. I am still pretty young (in my early 30s), and have had to give up working, and so many other social things that I once did.
My friends have stopped contacting me (despite my efforts to stay in contact with them), my family has become extremely distant, and my husband (married less than 2 years) seems to be wanting out. In some strange way they seem disappointed with me, or upset with me. I am so very lost, and hoping to find some kind of meaning in all of this. I guess I just really need some support right now, and some motivation on how to find a new and different way through this world. Thanks for any and all responses to this.
