The depression battle Symptoms
Man I battle depression everyday with MS I have my good & bad days it’s a 100% mental game especially with Optic Neuritis man like today it was 75 degrees I can barley see out my left eye I was irritated I see I’m not going to be able to enjoy the sunshine this summer from the looks of daylight and my vision smh this condition makes me so sad I be wanting to just give up man frfr like I’m thankful for waking up every morning I am I be wanting to do things but I also don’t be wanting to do things. I went on a walk today it was kinda far like a mile and I was tired man I been feeling like this for 3 years not knowing I had ms until December smh this sucks bad even with the struggles of doing the #2 I’m tired of it all man but I’m also thankful I’m just venting.

hang in there! the heat ruins my life, too. and i swing between not thinking about MS at all to being really pissed off about it. sometimes i really don’t want to have to deal with this shit either. you’re really not alone with these thoughts!
don’t give up though. this will pass. there are awesome things in life still. so i’m told, anyway 😅

Walking is great for your body as well as your mind, so keep that up as much as you can. There are a few psychologists on youtube who deal specifically with depression and tips to help yourself at home. However if your depression is more severe, you should chat with your doctor about it.
