Newly Diagnosed 33 year old adult - finding it hard to process. Any suggestions?

See I feel that it’s ok to tell others because it demonstrates some degree of openness and enables any reasonable adjustments to be put in place at work or among friends it gives them insight to better support you. 

Thanks Anthony for your response. I really do value everyone's opinion. 

Do you not feel like people will judge you or treat you differently? I suppose i am anxious about peoples reactions especially those who hold me in high regard. Also those that will think that i am making it up or have not got anything because i have gone 33 years.

There is the risk that some may treat you differently but my experience is that most don’t react any differently. The thing is it may make you more anxious thinking about what they might think - but this is the unknown and the unknown makes us anxious. Sometimes we have to take the plunge and put a little faith in the value your friends have in you and the friendships you’ve built. :) Hope this helps, if you need a chat feel free to send me a message
