Hello!

Hello Rob, and welcome,

What happens next? Well, in my case it was a gradual acceptance. Many things from my past started to make sense as ancient angst resolved itself and I began to better understand myself; I now feel a lot calmer inside than I have ever done. Sticking a label on my condition was the best thing that could have happened - and I had to wait until I was in my mid-sixties to get that label.

The only advice I would give you is to hold back on disclosing the diagnosis, it's not really anybody's business but yours and your family's. Read up on the condition, read this forum, watch utube videos and learn; then think about disclosing - all in your own time.

I hope you get some 'lightbulb' moments, if you haven't already had them.

Best of luck,

Ben
