New diagnosis- starting to get a bit wound up

Hi all,

I'm four weeks into being diagnosed. I'm 50+. Just wondered if you went through a negative patch soon after getting a diagnosis. I'm in a strange place at the moment (stranger even than normal everyday life of course) I've started unconsciously reevaluating all my past, post-diagnosis (tiring) I guess this is a normal reaction?

  • Hi. I'm mid-twenties and I'm still waiting for my assessment. I can't speak from personal experience, but I have seen lots of people on this forum discussing similar emotions after diagnosis.

    Try not to get frustrated with yourself - it's perfectly normal to have mixed feelings. Just take care of yourself and keep talking to people - even if it's just offloading here.
