Interested in communicating with others here.

Evening to you and thanks for reading these lines from someone who more times than I'd care to admit grapples with issues of this venue as moodiness,some degree of depression and questionable social skills.I've done some reading on the topic(s) due to increased awareness that heredity may play a considerable role with me.Believe to one degree or another we may be products of our life's experiences,where we come from and environment.Have been caring for my wife with MS now 25 yrs,it's demanding to say the least though we feel fortunate to be able to cope here at home with aid and caregiver assistance.How it all may be affecting me for who I am well I wonder.I've abused alcohol and may always be susceptable to it and privy to the side affects that may result.It's an isolated life it seems and sometimes feel I'm in a tightening spiral.New to this forum and the web really forthat matter,been online for over a year with webtv but considering a computer.This is a wonderful use of the technology available to reach out to each other in this fashion.Effective communication can be a source of therapy in it's own light and have seen the efforts of some willing to help others here,reassuring in a world that many times seems to me so rude and mean spirited.Well all the best to you and thanks again for the time,Ron

Hello Ron,

Nice to meet you. You are bringing your problems to a great place for sharing. You are right about communication as therapy. That is exactly what you will find here. You will also find others with limited social skills, please be patient and we can forgive each others mistakes.

It is a huge challenge caring for an MS patient. You certainly love her very much. She is very very fortunate to have you.

Wherever you go, there you are

WELCOME, Ron. Care-giving is so very challenging; it can be very stressful... Come and talk to us whenever you want to.... Warmest regards, Peanut

Ron, welcome to the forums. I think you will find this is a very supportive and nurturing place, and there are lots of people to listen to you and share with you.

Being a caregiver can be very difficult and draining...I hope you find coming here can be restorative.

*hugs*

Hi sawmn4u
I know how stressful care giveing can be... also how rewarding it is too. I cared for my husband for 8 months with his cancer. It is a hard thing to watch family have to suffer. My sister in law has ms and so did my father in law. It is a rough thing to deal with. Take care and God Bless you..
