Hi I'm Amber & I'm 30 years old,

If anyone is there I really need the support. I'm really scared and confused about loosing my ability to walk and what I should do. It has taken me so long to reach out for help. Any support be apricated because I've really been suffering in silence because I was scared.

Hi Amber, I’m Dahlia... I know the feeling. It took me months to tell my family what was happening. I was suffering in silence as well, to the point where I was depressed and wasn’t eating. I finally lost it in March of 2019, after all the confusion and all the appointments and tests being done, that was my breaking point. That’s when I decided to open up to my friends and family. It hasn’t made MS go away, but I feel less lonely and less afraid. I was scared of the same, not being able to walk at all or move, but I try hard (to the best of my ability, giving the circumstances) to stay positive. I think being scared is more than fine, we didn’t ask for this and it’s new to us. You just have to try to take it one day at a time, remind yourself that some days will be not so good, and that’s ok, and other days will be good. Do what makes YOU happy and feel better. You can always reach out to me if you want someone to talk to. I hope you’re doing good.
