Thinking exercise time Get your notebooks and pencil, a piece of paper is handy as well.
Okay "YOU" feel useless and worthless. "YOU" have to be real honest with your answers, and perhaps be as descriptive as "YOU" can. Keep your answer to yourself, there is no need to share.
"WHY, WHAT HAS CHANGED"
See very easy, when this illness of ours gets at "YOU" in any way, just stop for a second, say it, write it do whatever is best. Put things down and stop. Check back after a few minutes or hours, and ask yourself. "Am I really as bad as I thought or did I just need a little time".
"TOU" are never as bad as "YOU," think "YOU" are. Perhaps not 110 per cent anymore, but definitely not zero. Not even close, that is ms talking and "YOU" do remember that it wants to take everything away from "YOU" not give back just take.
Know this, understand and accept this. We all have a progressive illness, we do all that we can, every moment to circumvent its maneuvers. Sometimes we hold our ground, maybe even take a step forward, but very sadly this is a losing game. Our decisions and choices determine how fast we move backward. Make smart decisions from the very beginning and after twenty years "YOU" will be saying these things. Make decisions based "ONLY on FEAR and HOPE" and "YOU" might be saying "IF ONLY I HAD" These are your decisions to make. Nobody, but "YOU" can make them, and nobody but "YOU" has to live with the consequences. It really is all about "YOU" for it is your life, your ms. Make the smart choices and live it well for it is a very long journey, in this your ms life. Remember it is a doable condition. "YOU" and only "YOU" have to make the choice of how "YOU" are going to do it. Strongly with your shoulders back or weak and cowering dreading every moment?
