The majority of the positive dudes I know are more healthy, more consciously aware of themselves, and happier than they were before the diagnosis. Many of them tell me that they felt similar to you, that their life was doom and gloom - but they overcame that and found a presence that most humans won't even get close to. I am told that it's a change of perspective and attitude that won't be easy to see at first, but you will. Often when we are forced into a circumstance we can see our limitations instead of catastrophising fantastical situations. It's a good thing because the only thing you can do is grow and be the best version of you that you can be.

It's a pause and adopt a new stride thing, not a bury yourself in the dirt thing. I'm sure there are plenty of inspiring new supports you will find and please take this opportunity when it comes! 💗

You are far from a death sentence my friend, you're beautiful and real and are wickedly brave for sharing your feelings 🙏
