[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thanks for the advice. I have a therapist and am taking meds. Guess I'm looking for "been there, done that" words of encouragement from anyone who has progressed beyond diagnosis / panic to plan / new normal. [/quote] I've been there and I feel for you. I went through something closely mirroring stages of grief, i.e. denial, anger, bargaining (should've done X, if only Y...), depression, acceptance, etc. Allow yourself to have the feelings and you will progress to acceptance over time. And while I think this board is amazing, try not to spend all of your time on this and other boards. I was obsessively trying to read everything, searching for some magical answer, and it overtook my life. Try to take breaks to think about and do other things. I also had to remember that my DS is a lot more than his diagnosis, and he will change over time - things will not always be how they are now. You will progress to a new normal. Promise. Hugs[/quote]
