i was diagnosed about 3 weeks ago and yes it bowled me over, i felt hopeless, flawed, scared and bad but all in all, i am so glad that not only do i know WHY i have been suffering my whole life but now i have concrete symptoms to work with. all those shadowy monsters that were hiding behind my back are revealed and i can dialogue, work and rewire them. for the first time in decades i believe i have a chance at being happy.
