hi legzz,

welcome. glad you found us.
i'm sorry for your dx. i think it's a shock for all of us when we hear it.
but somehow over time feelings work themselves out. it is a process.

sometimes grief will go away and then come back. same with other emotions.
journaling can help if you have the time.
counseling is also a help if your depression doesn't go away. talk to your dr.

i've been on copaxone so can't answer your Q on meds.

hope to hear more about you. sounds like you have a busy life.
i did a lot of explaining to my friends and family too. it gets easier.
the more you learn the more empowered you will feel.
