Hi everyone, I am 43 years old, I received my diagnosis in October. I would really like to talk to other late diagnosed people. I am burnt out and really struggling. I would really like to talk experiences and journeys with like minded people as I’m feeling very alone.
Hi! It’s lovely to meet you 
. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my message. I found reading through my report very validating. For the first time in my life I felt heard. How open have you been about your diagnosis? I have been quite open about it with some family and some people at work. However, I have been struggling. Mainly it’s trying to work out who the real me is as I’m slowly letting myself unmask. I’ve also been going back to my past and finding parts of my life that are now making sense to me. I also feel grief for my younger self. I will be curious to know how you feel once you read your feedback. If it’s not too personal a question, what was your reaction upon receiving your diagnosis? I broke down. I also get occasional feelings of imposter syndrome. I am slowly getting back into some hobbies. I do enjoy watching true crime documentaries, due to burn out I have found that I have lost interest in doing stuff I used to enjoy.
