Members rallied around a question about feeling overwhelmed by bad news, sharing that information overload, stress, and anxiety are common struggles, especially when living with MS. Several members offered practical suggestions like talk therapy, psychiatry through the VA, low-dose naltrexone, compartmentalizing worries, and limiting daily news intake to manage anxiety and depression. A recurring theme was that MS-related brain changes can cause real emotional shifts, and reaching out for help is a sign of strength, with the community offering steady encouragement to keep going.

I know you will do it. Just keep reaching out. Keep talking and asking for support. Even if people seem impatient. They really are not. We want you to feel good, I promise.

Fro20, I can understand your anxiety. It's hard not to think about it. I try to feel better and not think about it.

I know this sounds like a shrink. Compartmentalize. I do not let one thing bleed into another and that seems to quell the anxiety
I refuse to take Anti anxiety medication because I take enough for MS and I do not want to tax my body more than it already is.
