Are you living a life worthwhile? You decide what this means to you, no need to reply just think sbout it and if you are not, why not? If it is fear, let it go there is no need to be afraid, it is only ms.

It's not just those letters, MS. It's everything that goes with it. Almost 14 years since diagnosis, I still haven't found a reason why, acceptance of, or purpose for my life, other than staying for my children, who are both adults. They lost their dad to suicide when they were 8 & 11. I couldn't hurt them like their father did.

[RoyceNewton in reply to Moondancelaa]

being there for your adult children, what worthy goal I am impressed

[kycmary in reply to Moondancelaa]

You have children that is a reason right there do you have any grand children or the possibility of getting any? That is another reason get some medical help MS does cause depression & there is medicine that will help. I am praying for you.

No grandchildren and not going to be. Another punch in the gut. And I'm already on antidepressant. Thanks for your thoughts. I appreciate it.

[kycmary in reply to Moondancelaa]

Keep in touch please I know it's hard in this world & it gets very miserable at times BUT God is always there just talk to Him!!

[Moondancelaa in reply to kycmary]

Thanks kycmary. See, it hurts even coming here and reading about other people's grandchildren. Nothing to look forward to. I'm sorry to say there is no God to me. As the years have gone by, I have gotten to a place where one does not exist. Don't believe it. Thanks again for your kind words. I do appreciate it. Be well.

I have adult children and a 1 year old grandchild. I don't want to think about it because I have daily reminders everyday.

I can only hold my grandchild while sitting if I try to do something with him I'll end up falling down and hopefully not on him.

I wake up feeling sick and numb and go to bed that same way. The only way to make it through the day is to think about as little as possible.

[RoyceNewton in reply to JTZES]

If that what you have to do today that is good there is always tomorrow

[kycmary in reply to JTZES]

That's me too just sit and hold them sing to them tell stories. I can't walk around holding my great grands either but I can still be with them cuddle them teach them little songs to sing we color. Just spend time with them enjoy them all you can how ever you can.

I am still struggling with the loss. The loss of the many things that I used to do. I no longer feel productive; I am dealing with a spouse who tries but does not want to hear me talk about it, etc. Yes, I am whining and I try to project positive feeling all of the time.

[RoyceNewton in reply to vicarder]

rubbish my friend, if you are saying your fears here then where?

[vicarder]

Rubbish, maybe - but feelings are legitimate....they have to be worked thru.

[RoyceNewton in reply to vicarder]

Sorry, I meant rubbish you are not whining here, we all go through it so your feelings are never invalid here, sorry if I confused you, my fault entirely

[vicarder]

No problem...
