Feelings after diagnosis

I got diagnosed yesterday at 57, today I feel very anxious and vulnerable.

Was wondering how other people felt after a late diagnosis.

  • I was diagnosed age 50 in June. I still haven’t got myself together yet, my special interests have taken a back seat and I haven’t been very active here since. I feel like perhaps I have been trying to shed as many things as I can that take up my time for the moment. 
    I felt the same as you describe, it does get easier as time passes but as I said I’m a way off at present. 

    Nice to meet you and I hope you feel better soon
