I was diagnosed last night

I was diagnosed last night and I feel relieved but also very overwhelmed.

I cannot help but feel a little like an imposter, has anybody else felt in a similar position?

    To be or not to be.... Diagnosed.

    Whether it is better to suffer the slings & arrows of the diagnosis process...

    Or to take arms against that undiscovered country...

    Both can make one bear the scorns of imposter syndrome.

    (Interpretation: whether we decide we want a diagnosis for peace of mind, or reject it because of fear that we might be told we're not what we know we are, most of us still experience imposter syndrome)
