We Are #MightyTogether

If you or a loved one have recently been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS), you may not know where to begin. Learning as much as you can about MS and getting answers to common questions can help you feel confident and in control of your health.

The New to MS: Navigating Your Journey virtual program gives you the opportunity to learn and connect with others who are also new to MS and navigating their own journeys. This program offers information about MS and symptoms, how to manage MS, and living well with MS. There will be opportunities to engage with other attendees, ask questions of a healthcare professional, and share your own experiences.

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a complex condition that affects the brain and nervous system and how they interact with each other. This debilitating condition affects the functioning of the brain and nervous system resulting in ‘signals’ sent from one being interrupted or not received by the other and vice versa. For example, in my case, the brain sends a ‘message’ to my leg for my leg to move however my leg does not receive this message, so it does not move; likewise, my brain does not receive signals from my leg, so my brain does not register things such as the sensation of my leg being touched. As FND affects the functioning of the brain and nervous system it can cause a wide range of symptoms that varies from person to person and can affect any part of the body and how it functions.

Monday mood, but make it food. 🍓🥔🍝

Because sometimes the easiest way to explain how you’re feeling is to ask:

What food are you today?

Today, I’m feeling like spaghetti. 🍝

A little tangled, a little all over the place, but somehow making it work. 😂

Maybe you’re mashed potatoes—soft, cozy, and needing comfort.

Maybe you’re watermelon—just trying to feel refreshed.

Maybe you’re garlic bread and simply here for the good things.

Whatever you are today, there’s no wrong answer.

So… what food are you feeling like today? 👇

There’s a difference between being alone and feeling lonely. Learning to enjoy your own company doesn’t mean you stop needing other people. We all need connection, love, and support. It means realizing that being by yourself doesn’t have to be something you fear or immediately try to escape. Sometimes peace comes from discovering that you can sit with yourself, listen to what you’re feeling, and simply be okay in your own company.

How do you feel when you’re alone? Is solitude something you enjoy, or something you’re still learning to be comfortable with?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.
