  • Hi  

    Yeah that's the tricky bit, you get your answer but it can be a bit difficult knowing what to do after, especially if you've been waiting a long time and not much/any help offered after. 

    What now? It kind of depends on where your head is at, whether you need to unpack with someone (like therapist), or if you just want to reach out to others like you (like on this forum) or anything else, like trying to find out about groups (I think there is a directory on the NAS website). It's good to read books and find out about how to tell people (good to not rush straight in, sometimes responses can be disappointing), or about the process of unmasking. (Complex!)

    People on here are generally helpful, just ask! 

    And congrats on the diagnosis I hope!
