Uh, Sal, I am a AMN with MS! How easily they forget!

Hang in there, Pete, every day has some good and some not-so-good in it. One of the many pluses here at NT is that there is more good here than out there in the rest of the world.

Ok I'm gonna be the one to say it...as everyone knows I am sometimes the queen of tough love.

How many more posts of people ignoring you...no one talking to you....being a bother to everyone...this is thread number what? In every single one everyone tries to encourage you...several offer to PM back and forth with you....I personally texted, called, and emailed with you. * edit*

Hopefully someone can encourage you enough *edit* this life is only what you make it out to be. Not trying to be a b-word here but speak from some experience. *edit* JMHO

I'm so sorry to read that you're still feeling down.

It sounds like you've been in a tough place where people don't understand you, and I certainly understand when you have no-one to talk to about how you feel, and about how MS is affecting you.

I too have been there. In fact, I only have my husband, my DD and my friends here on NT now that I can talk to. No-one else wants to listen, and MS has completely alienated me from my sister now. I suppose that wasn't quite true as my sister has always been full of herself, and her own problems have always been more important than anyone else's. 'My' MS has always been something between us. It's as if she's jealous that I have a diagnosable illness, and she doesn't!

It's not easy when all you want to do is talk, or vent or whatever word you want to use, but it sure is nice when some-one takes the time to listen, and that's what we do best here. We listen.

Keep talking to us, and hopefully soon we may be able to help you towards a more positive outlook. Just wanted you to know that I for one, care.

I believe that the above post should have been sent in a PM....but since it wasn't I will comment on it here on this forum.

IMHO......this site is about support.......helping each other along the way. Some of us need more help and support than others. We're all at different stages.......I remember when some of us needed lots of support while going through difficult life changes. And everyone was and is there for whoever needs it.

We never know what's going on at the particular moment someone is posting. We cannot see beyond the forums and the posts into the individual heart of the poster.

If someone reaches out (no matter how many times they have before) for help there's a reason for it. And I don't believe any of us should sit in judgment as to whether or not that person is justified in asking for help.....or simply venting about the unfairness (real or perceived) of their life at that particular moment.
