Hi all,

I recently got diagnosed and im really struggling. Im nearly 30 and it feels like im grieving who i thought i was. Im finding it difficult to align the diagnosis witg the person i thought i was, any advice would be so appreciated 😊

hello @Paintedrose43

i don't really know you well but i think you are the person who saw their first butterfly. the person who got swept off their feet by their first kiss, the person who got tucked into bed by your mom and dad and felt a sense of security, the person who jumped in a swimming pool and loved the sense of weightlessness and freedom you felt.  

The person you aren't is the person who is upset, confused and angry because these are just moments of stimuli to your surroundings that you will eventually forget about when you receive recovery.

Whoever you are i'm glad you shared with us.
