I need instructions what to do

Does anyone else feel they need someone to give them instructions on what to do in life, I have no idea what I’m supposed to do in social situations or if someone needs help, I also find making decisions difficult.  I’ve never lived alone as I went from living at home where my Mum made all the decisions, to getting married where I’m quite happy for my Husband to look after things.  I have no idea how I’d cope on my own and it scares me.  I still feel childlike in many ways, wanting to be looked after and taught what to do.  At the grand old age of 73 I’ve only just been diagnosed which has come as a big relief to explain why I’ve always felt different.

  • Hi and welcome. Congratulations on your diagnosis.

    I totally get this, my life has been very similar. It can be scary starting to do things on your own, but I bet you'd be surprised how well you would do if you had to.

    You are starting an exciting new chapter and you've found a great place to get answers and understanding.(⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)
