Take care of yourself.
Try getting outside a bit more?
Try socially distanced coffee, a beer, or whatever it is you like?
Golf?
I know when I've had a few bad MS exacerbations, and didn't have the energy to get out, it got far worse.
The only thing that helped was forcing myself to get out and do the things I love. Constant pain can become overwhelming if I allow it to be, so I have no other choice but to move. My family back in Mass. often can't understand why I can't just 'vacation' when I visit. Why I always have to have a project I need to work on at the Cape house? Why I don't retire from work.
If I stop moving, the pain sets in, & depression over pain sets in.... Don't feel sorry for me, as I'm a lucky MS person! My limbs all still work, and I can do most things. Sports, unfortunately .... not. BUT! I can still toss the football, baseball, & take a few basketball shots with my 13 year old. I still ... WEIRDLY.. have most short range ultimate Frisbee throwing & catching skills. LOL :0
My point? Sports were a big source of pride for me, and something I truly LOVE. I can't play ice hockey any longer, but there still are a hell of a lot of things I can do.
EVEN DURING this pandemic, it is IMPORTANT not to cut yourself off! No matter what hysteria is being pushed, you have an extremely low risk! I have a suppised very high risk, with MS, very bad allergies, VERY BAD sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and extremely high cholesterol.....
but...... I'm in very good shape for 57.
I refuse to stop getting out! I wear a mask. My wife and I get out on dates a lot. We eat outside at restaurants, go to the coast whenever we can, stay in nice places, visit wineries, and do as much as we can, while moderately socially distancing. I will continue flying back to visit with my mom, whenever I can. I lived at Lowes this summer, while building a HUGE new patio, gazebo, and redoing ALL the shrubbery and landscape in the back yard this summer.
We are careful, but we never stopped living.
You have your health, & it sounds like you are in good shape? KEEP MOVING! KEEP pushing yourself! DO NOT "LOCK DOWN!" Do not get sucked into hysteria!!! You are too God damned young to buy into hysterical ********!
DO AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, without being obsessive about it. Enjoy your life, & remember this is just a blip in the big radar of your life.
You're a great person, and you will meet your great person, girl or guy... whatever makes you happy. Keep moving & keep doing.
FOR ME.... WORK is the best cure for everything! It's where you make the strong connections that can last a lifetime.
WORK! Church? Clubs? volunteer work.
Remember! It's very difficult to get depressed when you get focused on the lives of people you like and love. When you stay locked down, and stay in your own head, it's easy to get depressed. Life must be lived, & dwelling on your own frailties, faults, problems, pain, or whatever, is the stuff that keeps you down!
LIVE! LAUGH! VISIT! WORK! LOVE!
Things WILL turn on a dime at any time.
Few people can mix it up with politics & be happy about it.
You have to love it... LOVE the history involved.... & remember how things used to be. For now.... in part because of Trump.... that is not going to happen! It ain't worth it anymore! SO LET THAT s*** GO, & live your life. You are way to young to balance this ********, and you don't or shouldn't have the time for it.
Now.... Get out there, live your life! Work your ass off!!!!
Have fun!!!!! & you will meet an incredible person, and have an incredible life. Just move! Live! Be happy working hard, & it will just happen. Take those important risks when the opportunity is flying by.... & it WILL HAPPEN!
Take care kid! & we will catch you around now and again.
Now, go knock em dead!
