Regression

JT

Since being diagnosed in 2020 I have been working hard to accept myself, adjust life to accommodate the things I struggle with.

But I have noticed that increasingly I am unable to do many things I used to be able to do: take public transport, work in teams, work with screens for long hours without getting a migraine.

I was interested if any of you have experience regression post-diagnosis?

  • I am going through this.

    Actually since the pandemic really. 

    Since Covid I realised I 'can't be the person' I was anymore. I found it hard to be the person my friends recognised, do the things work required and generally do anything I used to be able to cope with. This lead to my diagnosis a few months ago. Since diagnosis it has ramped up too, it is like my body and mind has just forgotten how to perform and so all the things around me I have been 'coping' with have become overwhelming.

    It has been suggested to me that after a lifetime of Masking I am no longer able to and that is what I am recognising as regression.

    I haven't had any professional answers yet but I will share them if I get them.

    I really hope you get answers / things brighten for you soon.

    It was as if society found our achilles heel, five years ago. Not matter how hard I readjust, it keeps throwing me off.
