Hi. I’m not very good at this.
I was diagnosed last week in my late 50s and after going through a long process. I’m not sure what to do now. I’m confused and feel my life up until now has been an act. I am married and have been for 30 years. I have told 5 people only and so far they’ve not changed toward to me which is good but the closest ones have just said to carry on as “normal”. My GP is still waiting on the notes too so I’ve not had any offer of any support as of yet, if you get any that is. I can feel myself getting even more withdrawn than normal as I simply don’t mix at all. My husband is my friend and he is the only one I see daily. My head feels like it’s full of words swirling around but I can’t land in any to say how I feel. It’s like cotton wool.
What do we do after diagnosis. I don’t work as it all got too much a few years ago. I also have fibro. Do I just carry on or what…I’m feeling very confused but the diagnosis also answers my difficulties too. Not sure this makes sense.
