I need a pick me up. I got my Avonex introduction kit in the mail today which is freaking me out, my boyfriend broke up with me, and I realized that I really have nobody now. My family all live out of state. Because I devoted most of my free time to my boyfriend I have no friends... I've been at home crying all day and I need some friends. I'm only 23 years old and am losing my health, I have no money even though I work my butt off, I've now lost my best friend (boyfriend), and have nobody here to help make me smile. Can I please have some help here? Does it get any better? I'm so lonely and have nobody to turn to. This post is my last resort to feel some sort of support.

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 am steeling myself for my 1st x-mas without anyone. I have lost not only my wife of 17 yrs but also wife #2, who had been with us 4 yrs. They left me in tandem along with all of my kids. I thought I could mention that considering the Utah reference on your page. ;)
Oh yeah, I'm broke too. If you figure out whether it gets any better, please let me know. I can be your online buddy for sure. I hope everything does get better for you. You will be in my thoughts. (((hug)))
You've come to the right place for support! I'm so sorry to hear of your bad luck. It seems like (to coin a tired phrase) when it rains, it pours! Sometimes we seem to get more than our share, but we manage to somehow muddle through.
I'm also on Avonex and if I can answer any questions about this med. for you, just give a holler. Welcome to this community! You will make wonderful, lasting friendships here and discover that you are not alone.
Prayers and hugs,
Michelle (Eloise)

I'm here for you. I have no family near by. In fact I get no support from them at all. My friends all disappeared after my dx. But it does get better because I have found some very nice people here who are closer to me than my family. Hugs
I implore you to use those things to survive and to grow...these things will pull you through...they will be your comfort, your network, your ability to thrive...
Help is here, it exists in this community to lift, guide and speak...most of all to speak innumerable truths that you most likely will not find elsewhere...
Today is a new day, yes, one that I know is scary, I have been there multiple times...but as one who has come through, life goes on and at the end of the day that is all that there is...
Live it.

Be sure to talk to your doc about what you are going thru, and what you are feeling. antidepressants are often prescribed with avonex to counter possible depression or anxiety.
On the lighter side, you sure have a nice sunset photo on your profile!
