Well, first let us say that we are glad you have come here to this forum. We were diagnosed about 8 years ago and we still remember how we felt, esp. the confusion. I am not sure if we have any real good tips. For us, online people helped us alot to understand our inside world and our t spent as much time as needed trying to help us re-stabilize. It definitely takes time, so be patient. And as much inside communication you can establish, the better. We started keeping track of insiders...names, ages, characteristics, memories and stuff like that. We also made an inside bulletin board where people could post questions, concerns, events that happened while they were out, and stuff so that we could function more normally in the outside world. You might want to check out some of the links and articles published in this forum. Keep talking and asking as much as you want/need.
