I had a stellar Christmas. Wasn't expecting anything, but I was dressed head to toe. Thank you for that.
With medication, my outlook on life has drastically improved since I started it in March. I still have dark thoughts at times, but they are fleeting and don't stick around long instead of constantly taking over my mind like it did for years before. I am grateful for that. It felt amazing to feel this good after being so awful for years. It's fresh air. On the minus, I missed my friends and family's kids growing up. Time to rebuild.
I also quit smoking for good in March. I quit before January/February but I was in the hospital then. This is for me. I quit cold turkey with no aids or help. I wanted to quit for a long time before, but didn't have a reason to then. When I got the MS verdict, there was my reason to quit for good. So far, it's been painless.
My only problem now is finances. I'm still at zero there. I got a little help from friends, but I can't live on good luck wishes. I do know where you're coming from when you need to watch everything. I'm fighting with what I have and that barely keeps my head at water level. I make it a point not to publicly mention my donors to protect them. I know who they are. If they want to be mentioned, they just need to say. I still need your help. For those that helped already, thank you for that. It is greatly appreciated. For those that want to help, no one is making this mandatory. It's free will. You do if you can.
Thanks for listening to me ramble on and on and on...
