When I got my diagnosis, I thought I’d feel relief. Instead, I felt more lost. It was like being handed a puzzle with half the pieces missing.
The hardest part wasn’t the symptoms—it was figuring out what came next. I didn’t know who to tell or what questions to ask.
A therapist helped me realize I didn’t need to have it all figured out at once. Small steps—like journaling how I felt each week—gave me something to hold onto.
It’s okay if you feel overwhelmed. You don’t have to do it all today.
