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?

It’s been a year since I got diagnosed and I’m still coming to terms with it.

Whats hard is you hope things will change but they don’t, you still experience the same difficulties/issues, there is some sort of peace knowing why you experience these though.

One of the hardest things I’m finding at the moment is the lack of support for adults.

Jason and Aidie,

I'm in West Mids and looking to join a post-diagnosis social group here. Do you not have something like that near you?
