hi monica. welcome to the board. glad you found your way here.

it's not easy to deal with the dx of MS no matter how long it's been.
and surgery on top of that makes things even harder. sometimes i struggle just to do activities of daily living like laundry and making my bed.

i'm also on a lot of meds. i hope you have a good pcp dr. building a good medical team is a big help. and your pcp can coordinate all your care including meds. sometimes what you take may not help and a change in something like an antidepressant is in order. i had to try several and make switches along the way.

another thing that might help with support is counseling. i can vouch for that.
a professional to talk to really helps with your emotions. and, it might be a short term thing.

i hope to hear more about you.
