Low mood after diagnosis

Eyes

Hi All,

I've just posted a few hours ago but have one more thing to ask others. Following my recent diagnosis of Autism I initially felt elated and vindicated. It was as good a piece of news I think I had ever had as it made so much of my life make sense.

However more and more it feels hopeless, like it means nothing. I have dyslexia too and I feel I'm just collecting definitions. I have understanding now but does that matter?

I don't feel shame or stigma at all, the most positive feeling I have is renewed pride in being very different and a determination not to hide anymore, I just wondered if anyone else felt very low in the weeks following diagnosis?

Cheers.

  • i think resolution of a thing perhaps can cause a form of burnout maybe.

    your situation, you got diagnosed, resolution. then feel bad.

    i had a situation where i was constantly worried about my boss trying to fire me so its a long story but i got a guaruntee i wont be fired off his boss and resolved it, but i felt bad after that too and my work was slowed and my mood was rock bottom despite it being a win for me.

    i believe a resolution of a thing acts as a structure collapse maybe.... when you are going through a thing you are hyped for it and your mind perhaps is structured for it and is holding weight, when it resolves your mind takes away all that strength because your mind sees its resolves, so it drops everything its been holding right onto you if that makes sense... i think this is perhaps a thing that happens maybe.
