I just thought I'd say hello. I'm a bit shell shocked at the diagnosis to be honest, even though I expected it. I think it's the part of me which has been in denial all my life which is shellshocked.
I lost my lovely mother a year and a half ish ago which was about 6 months after I was referred for assessment. I think my diagnosis might open too many cans of worms for remaining family and very strangely I don't want to tell most of my long term friends...although I think eventually I might. I'm not married and have no children. So, although I was initially elated this afternoon, I feel a bit isolated too. I've been referred to a local support group though and it'll be good to talk to people who 'get me'.
It is a comfort reading other posts here too. I can't find the original but whoever it was who welcomed someone else to the WTAF club, this is continuing to make me chuckle! Thank you!
