I got my diagnosis today and friends' response
I got my diagnosis today at 31 (F). My two younger brothers were diagnosed at about 10 each. Two decades of struggle and wasted potential. It's a lot to process but I'm grateful I can begin tackling a new chapter for myself.
I tell my two girlfriends and one of them says "I’m pretty sure I have it too lol. It's probably impacting our whole generation tbh with the way we grew up in social media," and the other says "yea i know i have it too! gotta do that test :)"
Nothing much else was said. I feel very alone today. I love these friends but they seem to miss the mark on moments like this. Same thing when my grandmother died. I'm the oldest I'm not sure if that plays a part, but I would have really appreciated a congratulations or I'm happy you finally have an answer (it took me 6 months of fighting).
How have you all managed with the loneliness?
