Increasingly frustrated!

ImJustAGirl

Hey there, 

I’m new here, I was recently diagnosed (talking 2 weeks ago).

So, since being diagnosed, I’ve been getting increasingly frustrated with myself for not being able to understand or feel stupid because it’s like I’m missing the vital piece of information but everyone else knows it, like it was common knowledge.

How are you late diagnosed managing to cope? I just seem to be angry at myself for misunderstanding all the time & I’m always exhausted too, which is also really frustrating. I work full time & work with people directly too so I suppose that’s why I’m always exhausted but still it’s frustrating not being to function ‘normally’

thanks in advance

  • Hi there. Welcome to the boards.

    I've been diagnosed for a few years now and it is quite an emotional journey post-diagnosis. There are some links on the site, I think, about managing the whole thing after being diagnosed. But I have generally just posted on here and there are lots of people to help and support you on the ecommunity.

    It is the biggie for me - about functioning 'normally' and I have still not totally come to terms with how I view myself. But definitely working full time and with people directly is a huge triggering deal.

    I cope by researching in books - I am too old to look at vlogs (so far Grinning)

    I should do journalling. But it always seems to take too much emotional energy to do this, so it's still on my to do list.

    I immerse myself in my special interests.

    But one step at a time and tell yourself that it will be okay. It's just about hanging in there and allow the Kubler-Ross cycle to do its thing. 

    Take care of yourself,
