Style has been "my voice through this disease," says Ashley Peterman III, 32, of Tallahassee, FL

"I get dolled up just to look in the mirror and say, 'You know what? You're not going to let this MS have you — and you will totally still be a baddie babe.'"

She's one of six profiled in Momentum magazine, using their own style to have fun, incorporate mobility aids, or keep things fresh. Click through to spark the inspired or creative you.

MS doesn't stop the "Love Train"

He's cut back the slick stage moves, but Walter Williams has had MS for 40 years and still tours and brings the joy with his band, the O'Jays. The cover story of Momentum magazine shows how his bandmates look out for him, and take better care of themselves, too.

Read how Walter and the O'Jays keep chugging along at www.nationalmssociety.org/news-and-magazine/momentum-magazin...

(After social interactions : I got anxious ptsd triggered... hypervigilant , feeling unsafe, the thoughts people going to hurt me and not feeling safe after I shared some stories facts bout myself :( ... how you stop this pattern? Or tryin to calm down )

Ive been dealing with this for how many days since the last time I talked to one of my acquaintances (he called me friend) but we're not really friends. He visited me and talked about stuff and I saw myself I was telling some of my medical new diagnosis. He was surprised 😮, never thought I am dealing with too many serious stuff on my plates... I'd kinda got comfortable that time. The trick was after that day; too many thoughts in my mind , Have you ever felt? The thoughts like, I shouldn't said it or shared some of personal stuff. I was creating a scenarios in my mind- that this person I should not trust - maybe he will do something not nice against me - tellin other people How I was being dramatic or whatsoever. Why am I feeling this way ? After social interactions, I felt so many negative emotions towards myself and to the person I interacted. The fears that person is going to hurt me or do something against me after being vulnerable or sharing my weaknesses. ??? My head started to hurt - it's like I wanna prepare for something to protect myself , if the scenarios I was creating in my mind is goin to happen. This is tiring exhausting frustrating. Also there are some past events got triggeredthen i was having nightmares and racing thoughts.. feeling ny head is goin to explode sometimes. How you deal with this kind of stuff?
