My shrink told me he regularly has middle age people break down and start crying when they get their diagnosis. I guess thinking you're a lazy piece of shit your whole life has a bit of a negative emotional impact, lol.

I was lucky enough to have a Mother who was aware enough to get me a diagnosis when I was 10. My dad still no matter what thinks im lazy and what didnt work for him should magically work for me.

Haha, makes sense. For me, I just learned to accept it.
