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.

  • I got my diagnosis on Thursday as well at exactly 11:48. Totally understand about not being sure of how you feel, for me it’s going to take time to process everything. This is why apart from 3 individuals I have decided to not make any ridged plans to tell who and when. When the opportunity arises and in the right setting I may or may not choose to make it known. I was advised to only let the people know that I would expect to be willing to understand unless of course I don’t mind being met with disbelief and feeling invalidated. If I choose this then I guess these are the people I do not need in my life.

    I am really happy for you and offer my congratulations.Theres no rush to do anything so just take it in your stride and I’m sure you will know when it’s a good time.

    Best of luck
