Keep things in perspective. Even if you think you can handle it alone, opening up to others will help you navigate your journey better.

To anyone on their own MS journey, I want to say this. You are not alone. Don’t lose hope! You are stronger than you think.

Get a relationship with your higher power. I truly believe we need that to thrive with confidence in spite of our diagnoses.

Take it one day at a time. Grieving the old you is a process, and there’s no set timeline for it. Always remember...You are not alone!

SPEAK MS is a virtual support group that meets every Monday. If you’re looking for a supportive, fun community, you’re welcome to join us!
