Ok. I have been told by a kind, loving friend who I trust that I am pretty angry at the MS and that pretending I am totally ok with this life-changing dx after only 2 months is asking too much and denying my true feelings. She has also suggested that there is no way AROUND this acceptance process but only through it. There is no fast forward, if you will--something I've been searching for in EVERY area of my life for my entire life.
Ok. So I'm angry and trying to feel it and express it in appropriate ways at appropriate times. I am trying to vent in my blog (http://lazyjulie@blogspot.com) and with friends who can take it.
So, anyone else angry? Feel like a whiner but hate others feeling sorry for you? Want to vent?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I have had MS for 20 years. When ANYONE not just MS people have a life changing monster, it requires a grieving process. Grieve over the life you HAD. REALIZE and ACCEPT that a NEW life is ahead of you. Just because you can no longer perform things that you use to, does not mean your life is finished. Approach this monster as a renewal and blessing. It is in the approach of life long acceptance where you will find peace.
Get angry, have a pillow fight with a friend, scream, cry, then get through it. It can be done.
I was a Senior Financial Analyst for a large insurance company in Philadelphia. I was highly successful and respected. In 1996 I was earning $86,000. In 1997 I had a second dramatic attack which left me permanently disabled and completely unemployable. Do I miss the money. Hell yeah! I had to file bankruptcy and am on SS and disability. Big change for me.
I REFUSE to let anyone and especially an ailment determine my mood. It is in YOUR power to put that happy face to the world. Good things will be returned to you.
Ever hear "you get what you give". WELL..........
Best of luck and love to everyone
