Regression

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?

  • Thanks for your responses everyone. It seems to be affecting all of us similarly. Which in many ways is a relief.

    I think, on reflection, my issue then isn't that I'm alone in this, or it being something I shouldn't be feeling, it is, in fact normal! Yay.

    On further reflection, I think my issue then isn't one of 'problem' and is really one of adaptation. Change being famously difficult for us all, is actually constant. It's only my perception of it and fear around it that is holding me back.

    One thing that has helped me is preparing. Having enough savings so that when works gone quiet I have a couple of months fallback. Also, being open with my partner about my struggles and need for space etc has helped, it's also great that she at least tries to understand.

    In many ways things things are great, I guess it's just the long journey of self acceptance that we are on. But it's so nice to hear we are all on the same journey Slight smile The path to freedom as it were Thinking
