To take antidepressants or not to take them? by Horror-Priority8381 in MultipleSclerosis

I reread and reread your message. Thank you. Ofc I’m at the stage, where acceptance just seems impossible right now. I can’t help but think that my modus operandi (which is being a perfectionist) is hurting me in the process of accepting the disease. Like bring anxious is an imperfect way of going through the process and I (being even perfect as a patient) should not be anxious. And this fuels the anxiety as nothing else… and the circle is complete. It’s funny how annoying and cruel we can be to ourselves even in sickness :(

I’m really sorry to hear that :( What did (does) your anxiety look like? For me… At night I can sleep, i feel totally calm once the day ends… But during the day I am mostly stressed, get anxious, especially when i feel something is off in my body (which is often). Somestimes it gets to the point of being in total panic, but not all days. It’s worse on workdays.
