EP is a community where members connect through shared life experiences-- like MS--and so much more. You are not defined by any one thing, so be your true self and find others just like you at
Experience Project.
I wanted to let you know that finding someone I could talk to was the most positive thing I did in 2003 (maybe the only positive thing!).
I found mine through the Employee Assistance Program where I used to work. My brother had just died & I had some work problems. I saw him a few times & liked him. Things worked out so I quit seeing him.
In 2003, I lost my job & then got my first major attack & then diagnosed with MS. I started back with him & I don't know how I would have made it otherwise. I see him every couple of weeks now.
So, I guess the long answer is, if you have a program at work, they can help (It's confidential), or call the local MS chapter or maybe a referral from your doctor. If you don't feel like you connect with the counselor-find another one! It's important that you're able to talk about whatever you need to get out.

We encourage you to also visit our Multiple Sclerosis story and support community on Experience Project.
Experience Project is a vast and powerful community where people connect anonymously through life experiences. It's made by the same people who built This is MS,
on the premise that no one life experience-- like having MS-- defines a person. It now covers over 2 million life stories. Find and share yours!
