Hi

UnIQuElyaUtiStIc

Hi I'm new here and have just received my diagnosis today. At the moment I feel indifferent and like nothings changed but I'm hoping I'll start feeling better in myself later on. I've waited so long for this moment and now it's here I don't know how to feel about it. I'm not sure whether to tell my family either. I'm definitely telling my mum, she's always been there for me and supported me in every step of my life. The rest of my family are meh and i get the feeling they wouldn't understand.

I'm sure I'll figure it all out. Right now I just need to slow down and give myself time to process everything that's happened today. It was a lot to take in all at once.

Anyway here's a happy Thursday dog to brighten your day.

I hope wherever you are you had a nice day.

  • Hello.

    I hope the diagnosis was good news. Somehow you probably knew, but it is reassuring to have it confirmed and it removes doubt.

    Getting it can become an end in itself, especially if it has taken a long time, and then suddenly it is done. But it is the start.

    The better you know yourself, the more you know your strengths and weaknesses. This is not to hold you back, but to make it easier and less confusing to achieve your goals.

    I felt numb and lost on the first day. After the first week now I feel calmer, although still a bit confused.

    Hi. Yes it was good, a bit of a roller coaster at times lol but I'm glad I got through it in one piece.

    Yes exactly this. I feel like one chapter has ended and hopefully a new, better one that makes more sense, will start now. I'm glad you're feeling calmer now. I still feel a little numb and lost but I'm hoping things will start to make more sense and feel better soon. I definitely feel happier and like I know myself better now if that makes sense.

    Congrats on your diagnosis! I hope things start to feel less confused for you soon.
