I shall start off this today with a statement in bold. No, I am not yelling at "YOU" I just want "YOU" to see it.
I AM NOT A DOCTOR, OR ANY TYPE OF THERAPIST. IF YOU FEEL THBAT YOU NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP, SEE A DOCTOR, AGAIN I AM NOT A DOCTOR.
Are we clear on that? GOOD. I might suggest that "YOU" look at yourself. Your lifestyle and influences and general circumstances before "YOU" immediately run for anti-depressant style medications and expect results. "YOU" have an incurable chronic progressive potentially disabling life long incurable health condition. Of course "YOU" are depressed, sad dreadfully unhappy and hurt. Let us think about this for a moment, hmm why would "YOU" not be? There are some plusses in the illness< BUT "YOU" will not see them for a few years at least. Expect to be depressed it is part and parcel of having Relapsing Remitting ms(RRms) it is normal. It will never do away, it may just diminish over time, but at any moment for any reason it rear its ugly head again.
Go find and fill yourself with influences of strength. Fill yourself with them. Remember them when "YOU" are down. Think if they (your influence) could so can I. When I was much younger I liked to read war stories a lot. Stories of Australian troops in the Dardennels(sp?) and on the Western Front in World War One). Prisoners of the Japanese on the Burma-Tha railroad. These young men, a little younger than me survived years of horror. They could survive that I and "YOU" can survive RRms. We can learn to accept our losses and thrive with what we have. Sometimes at night I look at the sky and say why me and cry. The answer is always "why not YOU". Somebody has to have it and "YOU" are as good as anybody else. It is not a fatalistic approach, more of an oh well whatever. Sometimes it hurts, really hurts, (Trigeminal Neuralgia), sometimes I miss what could have been. I miss erections, that is just me 
but I straighten up look ahead and keep moving through my life with RRms. I do not think antidepressants, will help. "YOU" are sad and unhappy because I should be. We lie in a time when we are all striving to be something that we are probably not, and our something is very different to the norm.
