I honestly feel like my diagnosis meant more to me than I could have ever imagined. Suddenly, so many things I felt insecure about had a medical explanation, which was simultaneously liberating ("so THAT'S why I'm so bad at x!") and a bit depressing ("what could my life have been like if I knew this before all these deep-seeded insecurities formed?"). Once I was able to not dwell so much on the depressing part, the diagnosis allowed me to slowly build back my confidence over the years. Now I feel like I'm the most confident and self-assured I've ever been in my whole life.

I get this! And love that it helped with your confidence! There’s so much power in just knowing
Dental care is a huge one! Making any sort of health appointments, really.
Yep it cost me a lot 😅
