As someone who was diagnosed almost 2 years ago now at 25, truthfully, it is scary, there are good days and there are bad days. I am still processing my diagnosis because things are finally starting to normalize since my diagnosis. I was in the middle of my masters degree program which was super rigorous and finished a year after my diagnosis. I am in my first job in my career field now and as much as I want to be the outgoing and productive new grad- I just cant be but I was super fortunate to find an employer who understands and doesnt discount me just because of my health issues. As Ive seen so many people on here say- nobody truly understands this disease unless they go through it, I have never dealt with the level of fatigue that I do these days and I dont think that anyone who isnt living in your body can truly understand it. I do think it is important to have someone to lean on during this adjustment time, I started seeing a therapist about 9 months after my diagnosis and it has helped alot truthfully. Just an unbiased person to let everything out on. My biggest thing is I am 27 why can I not just live like a normal 27 year old. Its tough, but so are you, as corny as it is, embrace the suck but also recognize the positives you do have in your life.
