Question:
Just a note for people who are newly diagnosed.

I was just like you 5 months ago. I posted some back then about my story so I won't repeat it now.

Some thoughts after "living with it" for 5 months.

I realized early on that I didn't want my life to revolve around my diagnosis so purposely stopped thinking about it(self distraction in any number of ways). This helped me move on to seeing it as a tiny part of my life, rather than something that defines my life.

There are weeks(months?) at a time where I don't think about it. Sure if a random tv show has mention, then I remember, but usually, it's not on my mind any more than if I had cut myself shaving this morning.

This is all a long way of saying "it's not the end of the world" and if you're newly diagnosed, don't worry, it gets easier.

Answer:
Thank you!
