Hello,
MS is disabling in so many ways. My thoughts are, at times, as over whelming as my symptoms. I wonder, if they exacerbate them? I know they can bring on fear, panic, depression, etc (I am on an antidepressant). This disease has forced me to do much work on myself, reevaluating what’s truly important in life.
I know I AM still worthy of Love and companionship and all the blessings of life, however, I am struggling with what I HAVE to offer? I have few (one) if any friends and after reading some of the relationship threads feel like it would not be fair to let any man to get involved me having MS.
Can anyone help me out? I know I am a much better person in many ways, but bad days seem to keep me shut down from allowing anyone in. I’m 45, there is so much I had wanted in my life. When I do go out, "I look so good" that I do attract attention, but I feel like a faud. No one knows how I'm feeling, how long it took me to get ready, etc. I do always divulge my disease, but I don't think anyone "gets it". I spend some time with a man who has two young children, and I don’t want to be a third and I believe the thinks the same.
What DO WE have to offer? Anything for a healthy person (ugh, makes me so sad).
Thank you for any words of wisdom….
