Seriously it is okay

Read this but under no circumstances if YOU need professional help do not seek it from me. I am under no circumstances a medical professional. If you need professional medical help get it.

Go with the flow, allow yourself to experience all that life has to offer. ms in all its forms likes to take from us. Ask yourself am I enjoying the experience of this life with what I have. Or are “YOU” just angry and hurt by what “you” may have lost? Did “YOU” really have it or were “YOU” deceived? I thought I had a marriage once, I thought I had health and even a bright future as a commercial airline pilot. No, what I thought I had was not really there. If it was it would still be there today. What is there is me, only me, and I am somebody that I should learn to love and appreciate. Others are fun and we are social animals, but on a dark night when pain racks my body there is only one person who is there with ME, and that is. Yes, “YOU guessed it ME. I have to be comfortable and as content as I can be with ME. Enjoy my own company, laugh at my own jokes, look in the mirror say hi and smile at myself.

Understand what is happening to me when I am sad. Recognise then accept what is occurring. I think not to fight it, experience it. I understand that not everybody can or will do these things, but perhaps it might be an option for “YOU” to consider. Even if just for a second.

ms gives us many reasons to be unhappy, many obstacles to regaining that happiness. Seek tools that “YOU” can arm yourself with to regain that happiness. There are many ways, just a few are mood enhancing music, bright warm colours, philosophy, eastern philosophies, meditation. No seriously there are drugs as well, but trust me they can be really dangerous having overdosed several times they are not any kind of solution. More trouble than they are worth.

Do “YOU” see the possibilities out there? Maybe “YOU” do not see them, maybe “YOU” feel them or even just deep down understand them. ms is not always easy or a stroll in a field. At somethings “YOU” must make a serious effort, work at it. Have a goal and keep moving yourself towards it, no matter what the obstacle that “YOU” may have to face. This is really just ms, nothing very serious. It is not as if it is fatal.

We all have different answers, different tools that help us get through the day. Find yours and use them to get through your many days. Being sad and down is okay just do not make it a habit. Make moving forward with your eyes straight ahead, shoulders back and a smile on your face and in your heart, your habit.

ms is a nuisance and inconvenient, but it is NOT something that we can not DO

Perhaps an edit to say "if YOU need professional help do not seek it FROM ME" might remove the contradiction with the next sentence in your intro paragraph........ :)

It makes sense if you just take out the "under no circumstances" part. I think the double negative tripped you up when you weren't looking.... :) :) :)

That was a truly helpful read. Thank you for being such a brave warrior, and an example to all of us. The title does need tweaking like Frances B and Jesmcd2 said.Off to make the best of the day that I have been given, such as it is.

Hello Royce this is Mary I'm thinking all of these posts you have made about MS should be put in a booklet or pamphlet type thing. It is all good information for any one with MS, good reminders also for people who have had it for several years. I personally would buy at least 2 copies to have on hand & they will also work for many other autoimmune diseases you have good incite on this MonSter!! love your words!!
