Ms makes us mad, angry, lonely, unsupported, the list is endless. There is no right or wrong way to fix it, I have come to realise that it is mind over matter. It’s difficult but it can be done. I hope you start to feel better soon. Your art therapy is good for you and you are producing some lovely work. Blessings Jimeka 🤗

I am married and still feel angry, mad, lonely, and unsupported. The thing is to just take a breath and if needed a really good cry. You can always try to write down your feelings in a journal or write a poem describing how your feeling at the moment. We are always here for you so you are never unsupported. Trust me I have family that only ask about me or check on me if they want something.

Reading a good uplifting, faith encouraging book always helps me. One of my favorite authors is Michael Phillips, who has written many series of books with a faith based theme. You can read almost all books free on archive.org or many books on the library websites. Your artwork is beautiful. You are encouraging me to get back into painting! Thanks for sharing your work! My current project is sewing some new clothes from fabrics I have had on hand for many years. It takes me longer than it used to, but I'm hoping it is helping the old brain to be more flexible. At 76 my get up and go, ambition, and "git up an go" has gone. Not sure if it is age or MS, but whatever, I'm not happy about it. Music is also a very good therapy for me. Find your favorite music, or music you used to love and haven't heard for a while and listen to it in the background, as you do other stuff. That's also good for us.

Gotta keep trying to make lemonade of your life when it gives you lemons. And we've got some lemons with MS. So glad you can give yourself to the painting. That keeps you going and moving forward. My paintings take so long they become work! One of the artists I watch keeps saying to have fun with it. Don't make it work! I have to put that to the test and see if I can make it more fun. I think I'm too critical of my work.

Oh luvhair, your painting is so beautiful. Jimeka is so right saying it’s mind over matter. I’ve come to realize that after living with MS a few years. And some times depression will set in but you will learn to come out of it and you will. We all are Warriors and nothing is gonna keep us down! 😀❤️
