I want to talk about something. I've had several people I know tell me things about my Multiple Sclerosis in the past few days. One person told me that I created my MS. Another told me that I was given MS in order to teach me about myself. A friend told me that my MS was created because of the trauma that I experienced as a child. Another friend told me that I could heal myself from within with hypnosis. Look, I believe in a lot of things that others find way out there woo woo: Tarot cards, crystals and crystal healing, Reiki, meditation and Oracle cards. I believe that we have a connection to Spirit and that we can form a better relationship with ourselves by learning all we can. My mind and Spirit are open, okay? However, as much as I'd like to believe that there is a magical cure that will take away my MS, or that if I heal one part of myself the MS will go away, that's bullshit. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but it doesn't mean I have to listen to it. I had one coworker tell me once that I didn't need my medication, that it was mind over matter. Now she was wrong about not needing my medication, but in a sense she was right. For me, a large part of living with MS is mind over matter. I do what I can to live my best life and choose to (eventually) think positively about my situation. It's how I've chosen to live. Now, I know that frame of mind might not work for others, it's what I've chosen. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I'm entitled to mine. However, that being said, please don't tell me that I chose this or that the MS came to teach me a lesson or that it was caused by trauma or that I can cure it with the right mindset. If I wanted a disease, I would have chosen something like the sparkle fart disease and would have cured it a long time ago and I certainly have the right mindset (Fuck You MS). All this to say thank you for you advice and your concern, but I've got this. Thanks for listening. #multiplesclerosis #fuckyoums #health #healing https://www.instagram.com/p/CRZ7GiYH6iv/?utm_medium=tumblr
