Diagnosed but not changed

I was diagnosed in summer, a 50 plus year old guy.. I’ve masked all my life, struggled to hold down jobs.. I really thought a diagnosis would help me understand but still feel alone, more confused and isolated. Was it worth it?

    A diagnosis does not help one understand oneself, nor does it change who you have always been. We have to study and learn, and in time usually an acceptance will come.
