Life begins at 60

Hi there everyone,  

I'm new on here

I got my diagnosis 18 months ago whilst age 60, and what a relief it was. Like a weight had been lifted. I finally knew why I'm like I am, and suddenly everything made sense.

I have been reading books/ audio books and attended a couple of post diagnostic  group sessions to try and find out as much as I could on the subject. I find it very exciting tbh and enjoy meeting/ talking with others.

What did hit me hardest was realising how much I'd actually struggled through life when I thought it was the same for everyone, and how much I'd been gas lighted by everyone.(I'm sure it wasn't  intentional) but I now know I was right all along.

I've not had chance to go to the post diagnosis meetings for a good while now due to work commitments so finally managed to get signed up on here.

Takes me a while to write anything as have to keep editing and starting again.(I do ramble on a bit at times).

Hoping to be of some use on here.

    It sounds like you are doing all the right stuff to come to some sort of understanding of yourself which is where the work really is.

    I hope we can be of use to you also!!

    Forget about the writing and re writing, I think a lot of us do it.

    I’ve just discovered a great way to combat this, I put a draft together in notes (if giving a long answer)then copy it over here. I use my IPhone to post on here. Ok hand
