I know it’s a lot to read but it’s very good!

Aim for at least one of those promises and I promise that you will feel more positive & people will notice it in you!

When you can do all of it you’ll be shining! 🌟🌟🌟

Waking this morning to the sad news about Robin Williams has made me think more about clinical depression in MS and how little people actually know about any form of depression!

I have mixed feelings about suicide as life is so precious but knowing what  depression is like from a first hand point of view I can appreciate how hard it could be to come out of such a dark place!

I wish more people were aware of depression and that there is nothing wrong with being depressed!

When I was first made aware that I had clinical depression and it was part of my MS I was horrified! I didn’t want to except that this was another part of my MS.
I refused to except that needed more medication for another part of MY MS!

I opted for counselling and put the tablets on a ‘back burner’
I kept saying ‘I can do this on my own without more drugs’
Although counselling was extremely helpful ot came to the point where i had to rethink me situation and I decided to give the medication a go!
Along with the help from the counsellor I started to lift my head more!

This is something that i am open to talking about and will continue to do so when i get to this part of my MS life blog
‘MS, my journey and yours’

11th August 2010

On this day 4 years ago my life changed!

I was officially told that I am Mega Special!

I was told that I am Really Really Mega Special!

I was given a handful of leaflets and sent away to understand what it means to be Really Really Mega Special!

My life changed forever

I have met more people that are Really Really Mega Special

I have met some that are Mega Special with Super Powers and
I have even met some that are Mega Special with Powers of Persuasion

My life is still changing and it always will, I will never know what to expect so I just go with it!

On this day 4 years ago I was diagnosed with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

After 18 months I was given those Super Powers and progressed to Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Hard to believe but I have never felt happier than I do now!
