Hello everyone,
So it’s been a bit of a journey already to be honest. In 2017 I was told I was type 2 but remained so unwell with different symptoms that I kept going back to the GP and being told that I needed to have better control...
I moved to another county in January 2019 and registered with a new GP and bam - diagnosed with LADA in July following blood tests and due to having loads of the symptoms including losing lots of weight without trying.
Whilst I’m glad that I’m getting support which is great and being listened to- can’t fault it at all they’re brilliant - I’m really struggling emotionally and just feel totally overwhelmed. I just don’t know what to do with myself or where to start with dealing with the emotional side of things as I’m feeling like I don’t know what to feel and just keep crying over the smallest things that might not even be related. It’s so bizarre....really mixed emotions.
Any advice?
