At work, I got so upset I had to leave a meeting. I thought afterwards, what the hell was that. I was so upset. What upset me made me want to quit. This had nothing to do with whom I work and not something the workplace was doing. I read that MS can affect emotions and to keep a list of triggers so this is what I'm going to do and talk to my doctor about medication. But it was just weird and depressing. Is this reaction something rare or is it going to get worse?
What happened to you is actually more common with MS than many people realize — so you're definitely not alone in this. MS can damage the parts of the brain that regulate emotions, which can cause intense, sometimes confusing emotional reactions that feel completely out of proportion to the situation.

Yes my main thing is depression, the way life has turned out with MS so frustrating especially when you live by yourself. Where my back is such in bad shape I when to see a Psychiatrist and set in the car waiting for a hour and a half. I gave up on it, so I went home and by time I got there. They called me after I got home. So I give up going to one after that.
Believe it or not where I set in the car that length of time, my legs where so cold they felt like they were in a Morgue, like a dead person at a funeral. So yes many brake downs & Heartaches
It happens I spent about 45 minutes writing out my husband's list of meds. That long because I needed it to be legible. He gave it to the PA to put in his file. I was so upset. We kind of joke about it now. Now I have noticed times that I just feel like crying and I've never been a crier.
Oh my goodness, my mood swings lately! My husband believes it’s part of the grieving stages. Everywhere new symptom starts the stages over: denial, bargaining, anger, depression, acceptance. Yes, I have had a few breakdowns in the last few weeks. My family tip-toes around me. And then I just feel worse.
