Recently Diagnosed with PPMS

I was recently diagnosed with PPMS, to which I am not yet excepting well.

When I inform friends, family, co-workers of this bad news, they all feel compelled to tell me the story of someone they know (or knew) who was stricken with this. Some tell me about how well this person has coped with this, others have feel it is their responsibility to tell me about the terrible life their person has or had.

The blunt truth is that I really don't give a sh*t about any of it. I just want all of them to stay the f**k away from me with their good intentions.

I also admit that the thought of ending my existence seldom leaves my mind.

It makes me sad that I am polluting this forum with my issues. I am truly sorry for that.
