Hi Anne,

Whew, you just described me! I've been feeling this way for almost 2 years now and relate it to MS. I was just officially diagnosed this month. I'm not on any meds and attribute much of how I feel to fatigue. I used to exercise my butt off and loved it. For over a year now, I can't get into a decent work-out routine. As you, I don't really feel depressed...it's more like tired and everything takes a ton of effort. Does that make any sense?

You are so not alone...please feel free to write the group or email me privately.

Personally, I'm going to start forcing myself to do more. I'll feel better.

Keep me posted on how you're doing.

Hugs,

Kelli

It's this: before my diagnosis I was very active socially. I wasinvolved with work-related organizations as a member and also as anofficer. I went out with friends to dinner, music events, movies,museums, etc., or just got together to hang out and talk. I belongedto a couple of Yahoo groups related to scrapbooking (a special hobby)and became very close friends with a number of members and met themIRL.But in the last 6-12 months I just can't make myself keep in touchwith anyone - friends or family. I don't want to go anywhere or doanything. I didn't send out any Christmas cards. I don't make phonecalls or if someone calls I'm either "not available" or bring theconversation to a quick close. I feel myself withdrawing more andmore.I don't feel unhappy or depressed. I just don't want to deal withanyone. Am I alone out there with this? It's so "not me". I reallydon't want to be like this. I miss everyone. But I just can't getmyself back into communicating .....Anne
