Shortly after I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, I lost my job. Since we live in a very rural area (more cows and chickens than people) with no family or friends nearby, my therapist was concerned about how isolated I would be with no one to talk to during the day. She urged me to get involved in some kind of group or activity. Since I’m a somewhat introverted person, I thanked her for the suggestion but never acted on it.
Since then I’ve realized that she, like any good therapist, knew what she was talking about.
