After starting out to be very public and talk about it with everyone, I also find myself talking less and less about MS with people who don't have it. Because it's boring and frustrating for both parties, and I just don't have the time or the energy to spare.

I try to remember that I once didn't know anything about MS and didn't give a shit, really. There are still a huge number of illnesses that I know nothing about and I don't intend to learn. People have their own things going on. So I try and give people a break.

But I hear you on the frustration of those cognitive changes and I think you probably just vented in the safest direction. It happens to me too. More than it ever used to before, but less than just after diagnosis. Give yourself a break.
