Receiving a new diagnosis can come with many mixed emotions. This video shares the struggle many of us go through during and after finding out the name of a new illness.
I think it would be very unusual not to need significant time to adjust and grieve what you have lost. After that, you can find a new path and new ways to feel valuable to yourself and others. But it definitely takes time. And it is also an ongoing process too. Because the symptoms can change, the way our bodies handle medications changes, and we want to do different things as time goes by. It's really important for people who have been living with this for a while to remind newly diagnosed people that it does get better and that what they are feeling is normal. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Great video. I went through some serious depression and grief for losing my previous life. Took quite a while to accept everything.
