After diagnosis?

Murfster

Hi,

I'm an newly diagnosed 40 year old adult and wondered what feelings and emotions other people felt after being diagnosed?

For me it's caused some serious reflection over my life and all the total car crash relationships and experiences that have been down to my behaviour. Now I know why.

Still very....I dont know...to digest.

  • Hello, I'm newly diagnosed at 41 years old.  It's brought up all sorts of emotions for me.  Initially I was mourning a life that could have been had I had help when I was young, then anger at my parents for not doing anything, now I am sort of relieved to have an explanation to the car crash that is my life.  the knowlege and self awareness I have developed is also helping me to try and resolve some if the issues.  It is a slow process and I am having good and bad days processing the diagnosis.  I am finding it very tough overall to deal with this knowledge but am hoping the diagnosis will ultimately be positive but it has caused a lot of introspective reflection for me.  How about you?
