That simple word is so powerful. Broken, how do you fix it? I’m not sure, but my body is broken. The depression of late is paralyzing along with my MS. Just typing is hard as my hands just want to curl up and go to sleep. My legs have failed me just as my mind is going. My thoughts are scrambled and I cannot find the focus. I’m tried of depending on people, I’m tired of needing help. Dressing myself causes anxiety and pain. I’m so tired of being… tired of being.
Broken like shattered glass on the floor that crunches under your shoes.
I do not know how to fix all the breaks. I’m tired, so tired. I’m not strong and I cannot fake it any longer.
Making it Through the Rain 
Gosh MzTracy!
I sure love you! I wish I could take on your Pain–even if only for a Day!
The World has been really stressful Lately…I’m sure that’s not helping either!
But asking for help is good! Dressing, getting around…we ALL love you, and want to help!
After all, YOU always share Love with us. I mean that. Everyday. Without fail.
You’re an Inspiration and VERY Sweet.
Maybe a nice Epson Salt bath would help you to feel better.
Go to Bed early maybe. Hopefully to feel better Tomorrow!
So, I just prayed for you. just like in Mathew 8-8. where the Army Officer said, “Sir, I am not a fit Man for you to enter under my Roof, but just say the word and my Manservant will be healed.”
From afar, I pray that you are healed, feel Better, Stronger, that you are comforted. That you will feel the LOVE!
Native Americans have many Animal Songs. All the diffent Animals have different Blessings..They would call a spirit of an Animal that the particular strength needed.
The Yogis just by breathing can ease many conditions that cause pain.
I want you to know that you ARE surrounded by Love and Angels that will help you tonight.
Do you do Physical Therapy? Do some, iy may release some endorphins. 🙂
I know how tough at can be..to be as strong as you are.
Hang in there Tracy.
We ALL love you!

thanks Mark. Was having a moment last night and needed to vent. Some days are better than others. My fight will come back.
I do yoga for MS and use a motorized pedaler and light arm weights.
I love the Native American ideals.
Thanks again!

Oh Tracy…there isn’t anything I would not give to take away your pain, your suffering….I know that the last thing you want is pity, as that makes you feel worse.
And I know you work hard at putting on a brave face, and you say you are not strong…but that is where you are oh-so wrong. YOU may not think you aren’t, but I, as well as the amazing friends you have, know the truth. I’ve NEVER met anyone as strong as you, as good at holding it together. I mean, look at me…I lose half my hair, and I just about have a nervous fucking breakdown! Now *I* am weak….you are the epitome of strength!!
I have more respect–NOT “pity”–for you than anyone else I know.
I also know you are sick of relying on people for help…but what you don’t seem to understand is, we WANT to…it’s not even remotely close to being a burden. Wanna know why?? Because we LOVE you…and that’s what people do when they love someone. And if the situation were reversed, you would do it in a hot second, without a second thought, and you KNOW it.
So whenever you are feeling like this, call me dammit!! If you want company, say the word. I will drop everything and come over (well…I might have to drag a kid, dog, or mom along, but you get my point…lol)I will ALWAYS be here for you—ALWAYS.
So STFU. =]

You have no idea how much I wish I lived close to you…you would be friggin sick of me and beating me out the door with a broom. You have gotten me through some tough moments when you did not even know it. By reading your innermost thoughts, it has helped me understand what a wonderful, generous, loving human being you are.
This shitty monster that has its grip on you will not win, because everyone that loves you will not let it. We are all here, through good and bad, thick and thin for you.
How about your jewelry? Are you giving up on it? The Tracy I know would not do that…she is a fighter that looks despair in the face and says, “Fuck You.”
I am also here for you, Mzzy, never forget that!!
XOXO

I have been reading your blog since I was first diagnosed with the monster June 11, 2010. I am 46, have 3 loving children and a wonderful husband. I have gained strength from your words and come away from your site every time

Be strong hun….things will get better tomorrow. Thanks for being u and writing such a wonderful blog. Huggs to u!!!!
