There is a lot of good information and funny stuff on this site but unfortunately, it is somewhat hard to find. It’s sort of like buried treasure or Easter eggs . . . and you never know where you will find it. I tried to systematically read through all the threads when I got active on this site last October. There is a lot to read now.
I was diagnosed last year. I’m almost 60. There seem to be a well defined and predictable range of emotions associated with a diagnosis which vary a bit due to age. It’s normal. You’ll get over it and move on. Medication may help if you can find the right one. If not, just the knowledge helps. You’re lucky since it doesn’t seem like you’re in a “crisis” situation.
This is a great place for support and information, don’t be shy.
