Hi everyone,
Its been a long while since I was on here last... have been feeling very down and hopeless for a long time... and to make things worse... just the other day I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (motor impairment in my right hand, eye and speech with multiple leasion sites in the MRI scan and the tell-tale proteins in the spinal fluid so they are 100% positive).
I was feeling bad enough without the MS... now its hard to feel as though I should have any hope when there is now the strong possibility I will end up with some 'impairment' in one form or another.
Even my therapist was blown away by the diagnosis... we both just sat there not knowing what to say... her thinking was that with how I have been feeling and with this on my mind that I may not be able to concentrate on the CBT or therapy of any kind.
"Normal" people often become depressed with a diagnosis like this, but heck... I was already really depressed... I dont know what to feel now. I am feeling really low.
Boy, do I need a holiday !
