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.

  • I've been doing a lot of reflection since getting the diagnosis and it's made me realise that I've had so many missed opportunities and chances in the past in terms of relationships but I screwed them all up either because I didnt know what to do/say or was too anxious.

    I've also hurt quite a few people along the way as I've not really understood what effect my words and actions would have.

    My life has been a bit of a disaster in some respects so I'm glad that I know now what has been causing all the problems. But I dont know whether to feel OK or sad about the past and the future.
