What you're feeling makes complete sense, and you are absolutely not alone in this. Many MyMSTeam members have described moments just like yours — where something clicks and a wave of grief, anger, and sadness hits all at once.

Those feelings are valid. MS has a way of forcing realizations that nobody asked for, and it's okay to sit with that for a moment. Something worth holding onto — feeling mad or sad doesn't mean you're weak. It actually means you're processing something really hard. One thing that has helped many people in similar moments is recognizing that accepting a difficult reality isn't giving up. It's actually the first step toward figuring out how to move forward within it.

A few things that might help right now:

- Give yourself permission to feel it — bottling it up tends to make it worse
- Talk to someone you trust — a friend, partner, or therapist
- Be kind to yourself — you showed up to physical therapy, and that matters
- Remind yourself of what's still good — even small things count

The worthlessness feeling is worth mentioning to your doctor or a mental health professional, especially since emotional changes can sometimes be part of MS itself.
