I was diagnosed late last year at 42 and was initially happy with the result. Since then my wife says I've gone downhill and been in a poor state mood/mental health wise (I'm not good at recognising my own mental state so her input is vital). I'm wondering whether processing my diagnosis has been harder than I expected and I'm wondering how you found diagnosis as an adult?
Honestly, I found it a little underwhelming. Like it was relief to finally have an explanation of why things turned out this way, but I kinda hoped it would give me the tools to deal better with myself and that hasn't really happened yet.
