I was diagnosed at 13, and have struggled with my diagnosis ever since, I'm 40 now. I can only tell you from my own experience that its a really difficult adjustment to make, and accept. It was only through some counselling a couple of years ago for a major depressive phase that I came to realise just how much an impact it has had on my life and how much I have neglected to look after myself. I would ask your gp or dsn for some support, and be honest with them about your 'non compliance', as they call it. Do you have a close friend, partner or relative you could talk to also? I have been helped by reading posts on here about other peoples struggles, so whatever you're finding difficult there are plenty others in the same situation! X</p></blockquote><p></p>
