It’s almost normal to have depression with ms. I use a therapist. She teaches me tricks to manage. I also have schitzo affective bipolar disorder. So I'm medicated for it also. Talk with a therapist if you’re considering medication. My psychiatrist is a gem. They deal with the medication management. They’re the specialist.

@NaylaNgom, there is so much to process when you are diagnosed. Give yourself grace to feel - waves of depression, sorrow, anger etc are all totally normal. If you can, try to talk with trusted others. You are not alone, we are here for you. 🤗💜

Getting diagnosed and having to adjust to your “new norm” is difficult and worrying about the future etc can add a lot of stress to your life . I can only suggest to take it one day at a time, if that is too overwhelming take it hour by hour . Do the best you can. If you feel like it is out of your control, consider seeing a therapist just to chat with and have someone to listen to you . Good luck @A MyMSTeam Member

Hey sweetie, im sorry your feeling this way, but its completely understandable. Ive been diagnosed 12 years and I still get these episodes. But to be fair I do have alot of other conditions too which makes it worse.

I get the fact that the people around us in our lives dont understand how we feel, but one thing I can tell you is that everyone on here gets it, we all support each other the best we can, and we all live all over the world.

Depression is just a daily battle for most and its the worst feeling isnt it. The only bit of advice I can offer is to talk to the people your trust and love, your doctors and please keep posting with as many questions as you need to on here. This community truly is an anchor for most of us.

Take care xx
