  • STOP THE NEGATIVITY!!

    It is a big “job” to educate yourself, make plans and try and stay positive when you have ALS!    We know that negativity can be contagious. We also know that having a healthy mindset is vital to our quality of life, so we don’t want to let others bring us down!! What do you do or how do you handle when someone around you is always negative? Do you respond to negative comments or posts?  Do you skirt around the issue or tackle it straight on?

    How do other members deal with other people’s negativity?  Have you found any good websites to help manage your reactions to others?
