same because I have no hobbies or friends. I’m very introverted so my life’s kinda boring.

You must find something to become passionate about. I started the MS-GO event calendar which has grown into a nonprofit organization going beyond just MS, it keeps me focused, I don’t have time for MS.

I've been doing classes and I spend time practicing what I've learnt, the more I do that makes me happy, the easier things get. Yoga, dance therapy and being in the sun have helped. I have a pretty good routine now and I'm growing in confidence more and more. Fill, then refill your cup after getting out of your comfort zone. Your cup will then refill you. 🙏

Ive been able to stay employed by working from home. With more telecommuting options, there are more and more options out there. If able to go back to school, IT is a growing area. It is well worth the time and cost investment.

Make myself new like tomboyish, and girly. I also look into my niece and future niece to keep me preoccupied.

Do things that make you happy. Find your why & make it a habit to do things that nourish that daily! Self-care is important! If possible, contribute at home, help out with whatever you can 👍 but never forget about REST & RECOVERY

I make beautiful origami creations that I sell and give as gifts. I also help disabled and elderly members of my family on a daily basis, keeping me connected to them and giving me something to wake up for and focus on. I take my meds, go to all of my counseling appointments, and manage my self care daily.

Right now, it’s a struggle. The government found me to be permanently disabled last year. Since I had surgery to remove my entire stomach and a duel hysterectomy in April, my life has been full of being ill and doctors, plus being in and out of the hospital. I’m just existing right now.

I also spend a lot of time sick with symptoms , researching my conditions , figuring out how to get better care , getting potential conditions diagnosed and trying to figure out how to make life more easier, access what I and my family are entitled to ( government /charity help/ equipment/respite) it seems very surprising to family and friends that it's truly a battle on the NHS to get diagnosed and treated.

Find a routine that works for you know yourself and why you do things make sure you are doing things that get you excited about life like I watch YouTube exercise learn a lot of knowledge like nutrition and music 🎶 and learn about self care and hobbies and Christian women and how to become one

I usually binge watch my favorite shows while indulging in my crochet habit. I take small trips with my son. I live each day on its own merits and try to hold on to each victory or happy moment, even if it's just laughing at a bad joke.

Pick one thing you need to get done and one thing you find fun, switch it up day to day until you find a routine that fits you best.

I encouraged myself. And sometimes I cry. Sometimes I find things to do and then their are days. But I know it's part of the process. I don't make myself sad for long
