my stumbles through life with ms
The anxiety has been real over here the last few weeks. If we’re really counting, I’ve noticed an uptick since my diagnosis. Increased anxiety after something like that is totally normal. However, I didn’t expect it to add to it. As Spring finally began to peek her head through Winter’s…
The disabled population is the world’s largest minority of which anyone can become a part of at any time. For all of us who woke up one day and discovered we’d switched ships during the night, how true is this? Friday marked the beginning of March, and with it, the…
Today, as I was searching through degree maps and generally planning out the next couple of semesters, a thought struck me that hasn’t in a while. Who am I? Not in that spooky existential way – that I don’t have time or brain capacity to discuss in ten lifetimes. Life…
This week has been a fulfilling, exciting blur. Dr appointments, new job stuff, old job stuff, college classes, vocational program classes, and all the extra stuff life with MS brings filled my week up very quickly. I’m loving the new productivity I’m experiencing. It just feels good to get stuff…
Recently, I was re-acquainted with a very old friend – grief. He is far from a stranger to me; I’ve lost many people in my short 27 years. Enough that I’ve developed some excellent coping mechanisms. That being said, losing someone never really gets easier. The initial shock doesn’t hit…

It’s been a really great week around here, despite getting the news about my dumb heart tests + monitor. I get that the tests aren’t necessarily stupid, ok, I just detest having to sport a monitor and carry a phone for a month, not to mention spending my Monday at…
The holidays just about whooped me to the point that I’m just now feeling fully recovered, y’all. It was relatively low key, and very very enjoyable. But, I was around A LOT of people I typically am not, and i also work in retail, so I was absolutely covered in…
Thanks for being patient you guys – between deleting MULTIPLE posts I had drafted and my hectic schedule – I haven’t had a chance to post in a few. What pisses me off most is simple human error led to a couple of really well written, great posts I think…
I know it’s almost never Friday when I post these, so this week, it’s just Feelings. I’m feeling a ton at once, so no specific focus this week either. This post is about as scattered as my mind lately. Somehow, another month has passed me by without posting on here…
