I have just been diagnosed and am trying to decide who to tell, especially with respect to work. Personally I am over the moon about it - I knew something had been wrong all my life but had had no idea what it was, and had though much of it was weakness of character rather than a treatable, pathological condition that I have no reason to feel bad about! That is why we get the self esteem issues I guess. Anyway, what I think is great news may be differently received by others. It will help me improve my utility at work when we get the treatment right but am worried that it will somehow be seen as a black mark. Maybe I should just start my own business

.
Kind regards,
Cantabrigian.
