Hi. I was just officiially diagnosed yesterday and have mixed feelings...I don't know what to feel or think! My daughter was diagnosed 4 years ago so I read and read and read... and it's how I have ended up with my diagnosis. I feel so sad for my younger self and all of the anxiety I have suffered. I'm not sure what it means for my future. I'm after some positive thoughts and experiences from those of you in a similar position please. I also have diagnosed OCD and GAD.
Your pity for your younger self will dissipate. Going through what you're going through is part of the process, it doesn't just stop after diagnosis. Enjoy getting to appreciate your real self.
