    • About Me

      Hi y'all. I'm Alex. My mom has multiple sclerosis and my dad is in the military so I am pretty much the mom for my 2 little sisters. I am almost 14 and I'm already the person that has to always help keep my family going. That is a lot for one teenager to take. I'm not here to whine or to complain. I just need someone to listen. I don't know why I always feel like I need to help everyone else and put myself last, but I know that I am alone and scared. So I'm looking for friends and support

      Hi Alex ~ I hope you're finding it easier to cope w/ you mom's MS. rnrnHave you found someone to talk to in-person? Does you dad's military benefit provide any support service(s) both you & she can take advantage of? If you're running into obstacles, pls contact the local MS Society chapter in your area ~ pls don't give your contact info to anyone here even though you may think it's okay to do so ~ you never really know (you probably should remove your age too).rnrnBe careful & be safe ~ best wishes to you & your mom & family. :)

      Don't be scared about your mom going on Tysabri. The odds of her ever getting the brain infection are so so slim. And it's really the best drug out there for MS. I've been on it for 10 months and i've had no MS attacks since starting. It will help her and you immensely.

    • Close Codependency

      I am a codependent teenager. I am the one who takes care of my mom and my sisters, and I always try to make everyone else happy before I do anything for myself. If I'm hurting, I hide it.

      Treatments

      Music Too Soon to Tell
      i love music. music is the only way i have to express myself. it hasn't really helped me with my codependency issues, but it has kept me from going insane.
      Reading Working / Worked
      Talking Too Soon to Tell
      I don't have many people to talk to, but when i do let my feelings out it helps me alot.
    • Close Depression - Teen

      Treatments

      Art Working / Worked
      art, music, and writing are the only ways i have to express my feelings. they work pretty well.
      Writing Working / Worked
