Hi guys, I feel a bit lost…
my diagnosis hasn’t come as a surprise, but it’s definitely come with some weight. I have been always known since primary school that my only difficulty was not just Dyslexia. My struggles stretched further than just academic, it was my social life and they was things made me feel. After suffering with crippling anxiety and depression for the past 8 years and just always putting it down to life’s struggles and traumas, the diagnosis has shone some more light on why I have been struggling like this.
I was diagnosed Friday just gone (29.08.25) and since then I’ve been really struggling to pull together, feeling very down and burnt out. It’s just going around and around in my head that I wish I knew earlier as I believe It could have helped me navigate the past decade, and understand my feelings and emotions.
im really not sure what kind of advice/responses I am looking for as I don’t even know where to start. But please share your adult diagnosis story’s and how it made you feel, help me feel like I’m not the only one that felt lost at the beginning.
