I'm getting AWFULLLLLY tired of this.

This past year +, MS has been winning ALL our encounters, and I am really SICK if always coming in second. (Am in secondary progressive stage now, and boy is it at a galloping pace) Got MORE bad news yesterday, and I have decided to throw myself a PITY PARTY. But because of the restrictions, my best friend just moved 2000 miles away, my other best friend is really, really mentally fragile right now, both my younger brothers died in the same week in February, all the rest of my family lives 2000 miles away also, etc.,etc., etc., I can only invite one guest (bet at least a thousand of you can beat all that). Guess it had better be a WHOPPER OF A PITY PARTY. Thought I would order each of us our favorite Thai sandwich, pop some diet Pepsi, and even go wild and open a package of POTATO CHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What else should I add?

Boy can I relate to your post! It's difficult when any family or friends are physically so far away. And, MS always seems to surface at times when we need it the least. Please try and hang in there. Enjoy the small things (your sandmy & potato chips) sound like a great start to me.

Remember we are MightyStrong! :D

I also can relate to family to being so far away! Sure miss all my kids and grandkiddies. When I moved from Salt Lake, I planned on going west to visit this year. Well, we all know how that went! Just remember..,this is the VERY best place to vent! We all love you and understand. This disease gets old really fast, but not much we can do, but vent from time to time! Your party is a great idea!

I am so sorry to hear that you lost your brothers in February that must have been really hard on you emotionally, which may in turn have helped the ms play up. We all have pity parties but I have found out that no one else attends but if you get some chocolate like MSSurvivor suggests then count me in. Keep in touch with us and let us know how you get on, Blessings Jimeka 🤗 🎈

I had no sisters /brothers to lean on.

It was only me/ myself&I. So I learned from an early age - the only one that's there is FAMILY! Now , I have a new 👪 - ALL OF YOU!!

Have you tried frozen yogurt or non dairy ice cream? I know a few people who are lactose intolerant and they enjoy those rather than dairy ice cream that messes with them pretty bad.

A pity party is often good for the soul as long as it ends. It often makes ya feel better in the end😊

With all that’s going on, it’s no wonder you feel like a pity party. We’d all join you and bring our best comfort foods to share. I’m sorry for all you’ve been through and are facing now.

We are with you in spirit. Come here and vent all you like.

Pity party sounds good just don't let it last too long. I completely get the scattered family. Mine is all over the world. My closest family member is about an 8 hour drive away.
