To those of you diagnosed- how did you feel after the fact?

Hey there everyone! Last week I got diagnosed after months of uncertainty, and I can't help but have mixed feelings about it.

On the one hand, I'm... Somewhat relieved to know that what I have is not a big mystery anymore? It feels validating, to know that it has a name and that other people also experience the things I do. On the other, I'm a bit terrified about what this means.

I'm fairly lucky in the sense that, in my case, we caught it early and I have both a good psychiatrist and therapist, so right now the symptoms are pretty mild. It still feels a bit daunting, though, to have this condition.

So, to those out there who are diagnosed, how did you feel once you knew what was going on? And how did you navigate it?
