Not great today.

Monty

Not feeling great today,  in fact I've not been feeling great for a while. I make plans to do things at the weekends but end up not doing anything. Constant over thinking, health isn't great and too much running through my mind.

  • Be kind on yourself. We all go through such times and they feel like they'll never improve, but they do. Many of us feel bad after a diagnosis and it takes time to adjust to knowing you're wired differently. I received my diagnosis a few weeks ago, in my early 70s, and I'm still adjusting. Yes, parts of my life might have been different had I known, but it's really only in the last few years that many women have been able to be diagnosed, so it just wouldn't have been possible for me. Try to give yourself time, even though it's difficult.
