Letting Go of Your MS Guilt
Webcast Date: July 24, 2008

You may not even realize how often you feel guilty about having multiple sclerosis â?? when you think of its impact on your family, partner or spouse, when you have to ask for help, or when youâ??re just too tired to participate in activities.

Listen in as our expert guests discuss the many reasons that people with MS feel guilt, suggest ways to change negative thought patterns and explain why doing so is important to your overall health. Weâ??ll explore the special challenge of looking healthy but being physically limited, the frustration of feeling like youâ??re letting down family members, partners and friends and ways to connect with others so that you donâ??t keep these feelings to yourself.

As always, our expert guest answer questions from the audience.

  I will try to tune in if I can. Thanks for the tip. I hope they will provide not only explanations of WHY MS'ers might feel guilty...but teach them why and how they can get rid of those guilty emotions.

  This is interesting - it is my first time at this group and here is a link to help my understanding. I have denied an MS diagnosis for 12 years, but mobility has gone steadily down, so I guess it is time to accept. I feel guilty about using handicapped parking, asking for help for daily stuff, and just being slower than most. I have finally gotten a mobility scooter, though, and am feeling better about getting around. I will be listening to the webcast for more insights!

  Do you know if you can watch this if you have dial-up internet? We can't get high speed yet in my area. UGH.
  
  I really want to hear/see this.

  I think that it is really tough to hear it on dial up, G, give it a try. If that doesn't work, they DO provide a written transcript of the program and then post it on the website, so if you check back in a few days, maybe more, you can at least read it.
