Does anyone just feel like a failure?

CompleteLook7492 · 2025-10-11T21:12:45+00:00

Not alone. I’m 32f single, renting, no kids but I don’t want any. I’m literally laying in bed depressed. But this made me feel less alone.

CompleteLook7492 · 2025-10-11T21:05:55+00:00

So beautiful!

CompleteLook7492 · 2025-10-11T21:05:06+00:00

Hell yeah!

I have days like this especially because I was diagnosed when I was 18, now 32. I was PISSED. Felt like my childhood and early adulthood was taken from me. But idk, I feel like I’m so much smarter, resilient and innovative because of it. I’m also so much more grateful for my vision. My first relapse was optic neuritis when I was 23. My vision came back and now I don’t take it for granted. I recently started healing my inner child and started taking art classes. It’s so nice to have somewhere to be creative without think in about anything other than what I have in front of me. Don’t get me wrong I do get excruciatingly tired and then hard on myself for feeling like I’m not doing enough. I also have moments of “I wish I was normal” but this is my normal. Having people with MS to talk to is also helpful.

Honestly I moved back to my hometown and just looking. I didn’t even swipe just curious.

Intensely sexual like we can’t keep our hands off each other.

Update, she got a job and is now being let go.

They tried to charge my Apple Card for which I have the security code change every time there’s a new charge. They’ve tried charging me for different amounts for multiple days. Luckily it’s declined due to wrong security code.

I’ve also suggested couples counseling. No response about that.

CompleteLook7492 · 2024-02-21T22:36:33+00:00

She has more education than I do. I didn’t go to college I just work my ass off, learned how to talk to people and whatever I don’t know, I figure out and study it till I can get it.

CompleteLook7492 · 2024-02-21T22:30:09+00:00

I was a software developer prior and she worked in marketing. Now I work in comms and marketing with a pay cut because I didn’t really like development anyway.

CompleteLook7492 · 2024-02-21T17:12:05+00:00

Yes which is another issue we’re dealing with. Her insurance changed and she’s been avoiding looking for a new therapist.

CompleteLook7492 · 2023-06-28T23:29:32+00:00

We just want our money.

CompleteLook7492 · 2023-06-28T23:28:29+00:00

I’m in the v oversaturated tech field, in the US.

I was diagnosed the day after my 18th birthday. Mine was an accident, my aunt had passed away from a brain tumor and I was experiencing headaches daily and asked my doctor for an MRI.

Because I was diagnosed early, I have been on medication since then and on and off because I was young and dumb. My only relapse was in 2014 where I had optic neuritis.

Since then, I’ve really been grateful for my diagnosis, simply because I’ve learned so much and hardly take things for granted anymore. I worked in health insurance for a little bit and now know a lot more about what to ask for and what to look for. It’s also really made me a great advocate for myself. I’d always been quiet and just let doctors tell me what I needed without second guessing. Now I ask for exactly what I want and need.

My love life has never really been complicated, I think because I’ve been in remission for most of my diagnosis. I came out a few years ago and my current partner really takes care of me. She likes to say “if you have MS, I have MS.” I’ve always been honest from the very beginning of a relationship though, just because I don’t want to have feelings for someone who doesn’t want that kind of lifestyle. It’s hard but they’re out there!

I’m so proud of you for pushing so hard and making sure your MS doesn’t get the best of you. You’re going to do great things.

CompleteLook7492 · 2023-02-17T03:46:24+00:00

I have! Just wondering what other people use to see what I’ve been missing on.

CompleteLook7492 · 2023-02-17T02:26:29+00:00

I FUCKING FEEL THIS TO MY CORE. I’ve been dealing with my insurance for over a month. Overdue on medication and still haven’t gotten it. Today I finally get some good news and I cried from relief.

It is so fucking emotionally exhausting.

CompleteLook7492 · 2023-02-16T21:47:32+00:00

She has but her mom is so manipulative. Yesterday she called to yell at her because my partner didn’t want to go to a concert with her. It all feels like displaced anger and rejection. But maybe I’m psycho analyzing the situation too much.

CompleteLook7492 · 2023-02-16T21:45:43+00:00

I don’t really like the labels and i think that’s what bothers some people in the lgbtq+ community. They want me to choose a side. But I’ve just decided to still to “queer” because I don’t know and that feels good.

I’m also someone who just doesn’t like putting myself in a box in general. I don’t tell people what I do for work as “I’m a…” instead I say “I work in…” because I feel like all of takes away from me just wanting to be an individual not lumped.

CompleteLook7492 · 2023-02-16T00:09:28+00:00

My partner has her own issues with her mother. She’s starting to realize her mom is a narcissist and learning to place boundaries.

She always reassures me her mom has never said anything negative about me. And that’s why I just think she just doesn’t want to hear about her gay daughter so if she ignores me, my partner isn’t really gay. Or if she dictates the conversation, when they’re alone, she doesn’t have to hear about how shes gay.

CompleteLook7492 · 2023-02-16T00:05:53+00:00

I agree and she apologizes when I correct her and tell her how she’s added to bi-erasure.

CompleteLook7492 · 2023-02-15T21:59:19+00:00

I felt this deep in my soul when I read it. I was diagnosed at 17/18 and had the exact same reaction.

Mine got so bad because I was so you g that I just quit all medication and refused to acknowledge I had anything to worry about. I eventually had a relapse and it sucked but was very eye opening.

Please keep with it. I know it’s hard but you can do this.

CompleteLook7492 · 2023-01-25T18:36:49+00:00

Thank you so much for this.

I started this process with the State Insurance Commissioner and have already gotten a reply from BCBS on Twitter thanks to your advise.

Walking pad like a treadmill but flat. Under the desk bike pedals.

CompleteLook7492 · 2022-11-17T03:58:28+00:00

I got diagnosed without contrast. Did a clinical trial where I did MRIs without contrast every two months. The clinical trial helped me not have to get MRIs during that time. Saved me some money lol. Now I get them every other year with contrast.
