Is there a connection between mental health and MS?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) | Last Active: May 10 5:58am | Replies (17)Comment receiving replies
I struggle with my mental health in a way I feel my MS brain takes over the way I think, behave and treat others. I think I am normal until someone tells me I am not and asks who are yiu
you? I do feel I have been in dark places but I feel I try not to spiral. It all tires me out and at the same time my symptons such as my gate and balance worsen. Anyone experience this?

Hi, @denli - I wanted to let you know that I moved your recent post here to join with your other post on a very similar topic. I trust this makes sense.
Very glad you've connected with @sandy8043, who seems to echo some of your sentiments about MS and mental health. sandy8043 - I do not have MS personally and cannot imagine losing my walking, but I know that walking around is core to just being a functioning human being. I would think that would be really, really hard.
I'm tagging other members who have talked about multiple sclerosis to see if they can relate to what you've talked about here with feeling as though MS takes over your brain and the way you think, behave and treat others, denli. Feeling as though you hit dark places, and also deal with symptoms in your gait and your balance, are an awful lot to deal with. Please meet, if you've not already, @westwoman3698 @teresasangel @elbony1986 @recruiterbreedm @donnavanpelt @wahoochar. @jakedduck1 also may have something to say about the link between an MS diagnosis and mental health.
In what types of scenarios are others telling you that you are not normal, denli?

I had to check above to make sure I didn't write this post!!😂😂
I'm in the same boat. Trying to keep a positive attitude and view on life is MT greatest challenge. I'm losing my walking. It makes me so angry.
