I am so sorry to hear all of this, like the others, I've had my turn at the emotional side as well as the stress side of things. There is always 2 sides to every issue, and the more intense the one side is, then the other side has to be equal to keep balance. Right?

Geezzz What I am trying badly to say here is this: Be glad that you do feel emotion at all. I know about that one. Also, crying and as well as humor are great ways of relieving stress. Sort of like a pressure release valve.

As far as crying in public? I have come to the conclusion that there are aspects of MS that cannot, nor will not, allow themselves to be suppressed. Emotions are one such aspect. I do not try to control things I simply cannot control. I make peace with them.

As for the stress? You have to learn to pick through the things in your life that cause you stress. Choose only the things you really can do something about and deal with those.

As for the rest of those stress causing issues? You have to learn to either pass them off to someone else to deal with, get someone to help you deal with them together (such as coming here for moral support), or simply let them go.

Saying it and reading it, are the two easiest parts of this. Actually putting this in to practice is another thing all together. Finally, take the advice of those who posted already.... Discuss this with your doc. The sooner the better too.
