I finally just felt seen…
Selma Blair stated she was “thrilled” to have acquired her Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis.

“[I was] thrilled,” Blair informed People of the autoimmune illness. “It’s so funny. I felt like people thought it had to be some tragic thing, but I was like, ‘No, you don’t understand.”

“I was feeling tragic inside before, and thinking this is just all psychosomatic and how can I change myself?” she added.
Blair, who shares 13-year-old son Arthur with her ex Jason Bleick, stated she would typically surprise what was “wrong” with her prior to the diagnosis.
The “Legally Blonde” alum stated she would ask herself how people would go on with their each day routines with ease.
“I just did not understand how I was so different from people, but yet totally kind of fine-ish,” she informed the outlet.
The actress, 52, was identified with the debilitating illness in August 2018.
“I finally just felt seen. I kind of joke like, wait, there’s receipts. This validates this vision here, this validates this or this or this, that people wouldn’t really see because with relapsing MS, it can go away. It can relapse.”
“It’s like relapse remitting, so it can relapse and it can remit, and so as a kid you’d get something checked and then you’d go back [and] it’s not quite there, but you’re left with the shadow of it,” she added.
Blair admitted that she felt as though people had been “gaslighting” her, albeit unintentionally.

She acknowledges that it took her a long time to settle for her actuality, but finally, she started talking overtly about her battle with the illness.
“And that’s the part that I want to just tell people,” she stated. “Sometimes if we’re lucky enough, we’re still here at the end of these years to get better.”
“I’m just so curious and I just wanted to hear everything about people’s experiences,” Blair added.

Blair informed People that she’s “finally well enough” to depart the home.
“I am doing amazingly well. I’ve been feeling great for about a year,” she informed the outlet. “But I am finally well enough to really, genuinely — I always try and feel my best — but now that I actually have stamina and energy and getting out and going out isn’t so scary.”
