Feelings - Communicate

Communicating means letting people know how you feel. The best way to do this is by talking about things. Maybe you feel that grownups are not telling you what they know about MS and you wish they would just tell you what is happening.

Perhaps you're afraid to upset Mom or Dad if you talk about MS. You should tell them how you feel because they may not know how worried you are.

It's true that the effects of MS sometimes make us sad. Mom and Dad also have feelings like you do. Talking about these feelings may bring you closer together and help you find ways to cope better with MS.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. Your fears are often worse than the answers you'll be given.

Getting information can reassure you and may help you become better prepared for changes that may occur.
