I said the same thing to my DS. He said that made it easier to understand what I was feeling. That just because I don't look like I feel bad or tired doesn't mean anything.

Another reason I feel safe here is that when I share how I feel, no one has EVER said "Well make up your mind!" I've noticed that I'm not the only one that is firmly attached to the pendulum:

Some days I think "Wah, nobody calls me" and other days "I wish they'd leave me alone!" Some days I think, "I don't want to be treated differently, I want to be treated just like everybody else!" and the next day I'll think, "Well, they should give me special consideration".

One day I'll be so grateful for what I'm still able to do, the next day I'll be "cursing" this stupid disease for stealing my life. One day I'll be the one saying "look on the bright side" and the next day I'll want to smack the person who says that.

Some days I think, "I'm not going to let MS beat me!" and some days I think, "I'm not going to push myself just to prove a point."

Some days I care, and some days I don't. And most of the time, I don't know HOW I feel...and when I figure it out, I don't know how to explain it. And nobody here says "Why don't you make up your mind?"
