New diagnosis- starting to get a bit wound up

Breadpud

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?

  • yes i was in shock for a week or so then unstable for about another 2 weeks but now i feel better than ever. Yes more and more memories where triggered from my past and in great detail. Right back to early primary school. But now I feel stronger than ever, it is like a victory for me to find my true issue. Yes its a normal and probably very good reaction. just be nice to yourself for a while. Dont take on any new challenges or work for a while. Dont get drunk or get into arguments or anything that would upset you. 

    Buy yourself presents, nice food treat yourself for a while :)
