i got the dx, but it doesnt feel real
Post Body

bit of a rant. title. im not sure how to word this sensitively but it feels like a 'okay, now what' scenario LOL!
i waited 2 years for this final appointment (i think i only got it so quick due to a crisis team involvement while waiting) and it was over in a short 2hrs. i tallied high on both parts of the DIVA. she plainly declared i have it, and i've gotta wait 6mths for meds healthcheck. now i go on my merry way with this huge 'answer' that really scrambles my current vision of my self. all this time i really thought 'oh maybe its just me not being x y and z' but now theres actual closure to things and stuff. wow its a lot, i dunno how to even feel. its a nice feeling, i think! im a little anxious-excited about how meds might work for me. i really hope they do. of course i know what is literally coming next, but deeply i feel a little lost. at least i can laugh at the adhd jokes i see now without feeling like a total imposter i guess?

im wondering if anyone who was late diagnosed felt the same. 24 F in Scotland, NHS dx. ps. im new to this reddit ;) please be kind
