S1E8: How to Tell Family and Friends You Have MS

You're scared to tell people that you have Multiple Sclerosis. How they'll react?Will they start see you differently? You don't want things to change. But you're also feeling so alone trying to keep it a secret. Opening up about your diagnosis isn't easy. You feel vulnerable and that can be really uncomfortable. I've been there. As an extremely guarded person, I built a wall…  higher and thicker than any wall I had built before. But then the isolation felt worse than the fear of telling people. No matter which way I turned, it felt painful. But eventually I got the courage to start telling family and friends… one conversation at a time. Join me in this episode as I share the best strategies for breaking the news, handling reactions, and creating boundaries moving forward.
