Finally diagnosed. Not sure how I feel about it.

41 year old female, just diagnosed. I’m still processing that.

I’ve been on this forum for some time but before receiving diagnosis I felt like an imposter so I’ve convinced myself that I shouldn’t talk to people (at least not too much) because I wasn’t formally diagnosed. But now I am. Maybe I’ll feel more comfortable in few weeks /months.

  • 43 years old female, have literally self diagnosed myself 3 days ago, I feel lost. Now I can see myself as others had always seem me.

    Where do I go from here? Did anyone went through this depressing/ lost / numbing mix of feelings?

    I can't even text anyone now without feeling awkward, thinking that how I put words together probably is very weird to others.

    1. Help!  I feel hopeless, extremelly sad and disappointed with life after this.
