Hi there community 

sat here feeling so mixed up about positive diagnosis last week. Hope I can begin some self compassion. How did others process their diagnoses ? Thank you Pray tone2

  • Hi   - first of all, a warm welcome. Diagnosis is an emotional and life changing moment. A week is a very brief time to assimilate it - I am eight months in and still figuring things out,.Someone on a different thread noted a need to do a lot of re-filing of experiences, and others of us have experienced relief, validation, confusion and grief. Give yourself time and absolutely the self-compassion you mentioned. Know you are not broken, just different - and you are not alone.
