I guess the difference between us is that I'm so terrified of being poor and relying on disability income that it kicked me into high gear and pushes me to work as much as humanly possible in an effort to sock away money for my future.
Being depressed is not uncommon when getting a diagnosis like MS, no duh lol, but also there seem to be physiological issues that can also result in depression. Please consider seeking professional advice as to whether counseling and/or medication might help you feel a bit better.
Although I'm not one of the people who imo naively chant "MS isn't going to get me" I do wholeheartedly believe that until it does I'm going to be scratching and clawing to make a financially secure future for myself. It seems to be the only control I have over my life right now.
