Newly diagnosed

Patrick_OR

Finally been diagnosed by the NHS which only took 4 years wait time. Am 58 had several burnouts in the time it took to get diagnosed and a lifetime of false starts and misunderstanding. Feel huge sense of loss right now plus self doubt and questioning. Am I really. Not sure how to deal with this. Is it normal to feel lost after diagnosis?

    Thanks missleidy. I find people difficult so not really been able to share my diagnosis with many people. A number of the few people I have told simply shrug and ignore it. It's a very strange situation. Hope things get better for you soon.

    Hi welcome and congratulations on your diagnosis.

    I hear you, when you are trying to come to terms with something as big as this you need to be  supported.

    It resonates with me because my family aren't what you would call supportive, apart from my son, but he lives in Norway.

    I have found this forum to be very helpful and informative, I hope you do too.

    Sending you a warm hug.༼⁠つ⁠ ⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠ ⁠༽⁠つ
