It wasn’t a big lie. It was a convenient one.

The version I told: “Sorry, I’m so flaky.”

The version that happened: my body ran out of energy, and I let people think I was unreliable because that was easier than being doubted again.

The real version is the useful one. “I’m flaky” sounds like a character flaw. “My body ran out” is information.

If you’ve been apologising for something that was never your fault, you’re not the only one. What’s the convenient version you tell? You don’t have to answer here.

Follow Em West | Multiple Sclerosis Counsellor if you’ve been saying sorry for your body.

Your neurologist says no new lesions. Medically speaking, you’re fine.

But you’re exhausted. Foggy. Your body’s unreliable. Some days you can barely hold a thought.

And somehow you feel like you’re making it up.

Someone commented on one of my posts: “I was stable and had no new lesions constantly confused.”

That gap, between medically stable and how you actually feel, is where a lot of people get lost. Because the system is built to measure lesions and relapses. Not the weight of living in the body you actually have now.

So when your results look good and your life feels harder, you start wondering what’s wrong with you.

Nothing is wrong with you for feeling this. You’re not imagining it.

With MS, the small version still counts.

A midday event instead of a night out.
A shorter version of a ritual you love.
Going somewhere quiet because the world is too much today.

These aren’t consolation prizes.

Most of us don’t call them wins. We call them “just how it is now.”

But look at what’s still there. You found a way to keep the thing, even a smaller, slower version of it.

That’s still you.

It’s not nothing. And it’s real.

Does MS grief ever really go away?…

Here’s what someone wrote on one of my posts:

“I find this is something you keep realizing and you get hit with mourning yourself all over again. Not an easy thing to get passed for sure.”

Keep realizing. Mourning yourself all over again.

That’s grief with MS. It doesn’t go from sadness to acceptance and then you’re done. It comes back. A photo. A viral illness. Something you can’t do any more that you didn’t notice you’d lost.

The grief doesn’t change. You get better at moving alongside it.

You’re not doing it wrong. You’re not stuck. You’re just still allowed to grieve.

There’s this thing I’ve learned from sitting with people through the hard parts.

Grief doesn’t resolve. It just gets quieter. Then something happens - a date, a song, a moment where your body betrays you again - and it comes back at full volume.

And that’s not a sign you’re not healing. That’s just what it means to live with loss that’s actually real.

So if you’re having a week where it feels fresh again, where the anger surfaces or the sadness is bigger than last month: you’re not going backwards. You’re just in another wave.

That’s all grief is. Waves, not a line. 🧡🧡🧡

I just want one area of my life that doesn’t feel hard.

That’s what I hear most.

Not “cure me.” Not “take it away.”

Just: one conversation where you don’t have to explain yourself. Where the person already knows what fatigue actually means. Where you don’t have to manage anyone’s reaction to your reality.

That’s what The Still Me Sessions is. Three 50-minute conversations where you show up as you are, and someone who gets it is already there.

The framework:

Session 1: Finally say the thing you haven’t said to anyone
Session 2: Find what you’re actually grieving (it’s usually more specific than you think)
Session 3: Figure out who you are inside this life, right now

You get WhatsApp support between sessions, and a written summary of what you learned about yourself.

$297 AUD (approx $210 usd) introductory price, first 10 spots only. 7 spots remaining.

When those fill, the price is $597. This is a real limit, not a marketing tactic.

DM me or comment TALK and I’ll tell you more.

If you have MS and you still move your body - even imperfectly, even on the hard days -
that is not nothing.

That is everything.

Because I know what it costs. The mental negotiation before you even get there. The recalculating mid-session. The decision to show up anyway.

Movement with MS isn’t just physical. It’s a quiet act of defiance against a body that doesn’t always cooperate.

And if you’re here, doing it - I see you, mate.

Save this if you needed the reminder today.
