It's official

Aged 30-something and after a few years of gradually becoming more and more certain, I finally had my assessment today and have been given my diagnosis.

I was really nervous that if I didn't get this outcome I'd be at a loss for anything else which would explain why I am the way that I am, and I feel incredibly relieved to have someone else confirm that this isn't all in my head and that all my struggles to this point were and are valid. 

I've been suffering with anxiety and a quite unusual (for me) to focus on work for a little while, so now that I have my diagnosis I am going to look into therapy that might be a bit more suited to my complexities. I'm currently half way through a course of CBT and I don't really see significant change so far, but it is nice to have someone to talk to about these things. 

Now time for a cup of tea and let this sink in properly.
