Re: Uncertainty

[Guest guest]

Hi Mindy ~ I agree with you - this is a wonderful group & when I have to vent, this is where I know I can & that people here will understand. When you said that MS plays with your mind, you're right. Sometimes I can hardly get past it, because it seems to color everything I think & do. My S.O. and my son tell me "Just don't think about it", but as we all know, that's really not possible - at least not for me, anyway. It's always "there". The only thing I really can do, is just think to myself, "I am still debbie - not "debbie with MS"...just "debbie"....and that helps some. When I am out doing something, I think to myself, I am the only one who knows I have MS - other people see me as just me - and that makes me feel a whole lot better. I know it probably sounds silly, but it really does help because when I feel my worst, I can look around and know that I am just another human being like everyone else - and that takes care of feeling bad about my MS. Last night we all went out to shoot some pool and even though my legs were like lead and my feet hurt, I still had a good time. Getting out of the house helps alot, I think. OK, sorry, I've rambled on enough. I just wanted to let you know that it gets me too, Mindy. I guess we all just have to find our best coping skills & use them, and this group is one of my best ones. Take care & I hope you are feeling better about everything. I give you big kudos for having your own business at home. You sound like a smart woman & a neat person, too.

Thanks you all! This is a good place to come because we all

understand. My friends and family have no clue how frustrated I get

when I get " into the fog " . I know they are just trying to be

supportive and uplifting...but they ultimately can not understand

what we are going through.

On a good note, here I was doubting myself all week and unbeknowst

to me I was privately invited into directors training by some compan

reps. This felt good. Poo poo this damn disease. I will get where

I want to go anyways. It just might take me a little longer but I

will arrive!

You know if you have MS or not life isn't certain. We just got to trust in God that he has a much better plan for all of us and pray that he gives the strength to make it thru. BTW what kind of home businesses do you all have? Kind of interested in starting one but never took the plunge.

Hey Dawn,

Touche. God's plan may not be what we want but let's enjoy the

ride.

I have a direct sales business. I'm not supposed to post it

publicly but seeing as this is an MS group, I don't think it would

be considered advertising. My website is

www.thebodyshopathome.com/web/mindy

I found my niche in direct sales but it's not for everyone,

especially with MS. I'm lucky that my hubby and son support me so

enthusiastically. Because when I need their help, I just bring them

along for the ride! If I get some sympathy purchases once in a

while...I don't fret

Seriously, my biggest obstacle with the home biz is my concentration

levels. They seemed to have disappeared. Luckily, I'm mastering

how to " shift gears " . I used to be a one task at a time kinda

girl. Now I've been born into the multitasking mania.

I've been trying to work on concentration by doing online games like

scrabble and stuff. I don't think it really helps. Does anyone else

play online games or board games and puzzles for challenging your

mind?
