Diagnosis

So about three weeks ago, I was diagnosed with RA. What is RA you ask? I had to google it as well. There are so many things to say and so many things to write. All I can say is the last three weeks have been one of the worst times of my life. I have been depressed and anxious and lost and blue and have had panic attacks and everything else in between.

There are stages of grieving they say. I am still in the self pity – why me – and I hate everyone else stage. Hopefully I can move on soon to the stage where I take charge of my life and tackle this thing by taking the bulls by the horns or whatever, but at the same time I don’t want to rush it. I have been kind to myself in this stage that I am allowing myself to go through whatever process I have to.
