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?
I feel like an imposter everywhere I go. Sometimes even in my own kitchen, surrounded by people who love me. It's hard to come to terms with this, and no one can tell you how to feel, even those who have gone through it themselves. I was 12 years old when I got my diagnosis, and of course, it was difficult. It put some things in perspective, like the keyword to a puzzle you'd been pouring over your entire life, and other things I started to question. It's important to remember that you are the same as you have ALWAYS been. You just know more about who that is now.
Wow! This is such an amazing mindset! It is crazy how a label can make you feel.
