Wasn’t sure if to write here or not but I am hoping for some advice.
Whilst I was going through the diagnosis process i kept coming on here and have read over and over again how getting diagnosed has helped in some way and how others were worried they wouldn’t get diagnosed due to NHS not diagnosing in the area. I guess I am one of the lucky ones as I was diagnosed very quickly and this is why I feel so bad.
There seems to be so many people looking for a diagnosis and I have one and don’t serm to be happy. I have been trying to look at the positives but I feel very negative about the diagnosis and am struggling to cope. I am wanting to know if anybody else’s does or has felt the same.
i am sorry if my complaining is frustrating for those who are wanting a diagnosis I do realise I have been lucky
My problem with the diagnosis is similar. It wasn't an enlightening moment. I'm in mourning for the child I was and the adult I could have been. Getting the diagnosis wasn't a surprise (I was surprised at the severity), and now I don't feel like "me". Add to that the total lack of support and you're left with someone that doesn't know who he is, or what to do next.
