Just found out, sorry to hear about your diagnosis.

I would certainly echo the advice of others, in that you need to seek treatment and monitioring. This should be your number one priority.

As some of the posts have highlighted, there is, still, unfortunately plenty of stigma, prejudice and ignorance surrounding this condition.

Unfortunately this ignorance still exists amongst some of our professionals, including medics, occupational health workers, employers and colleagues.

Before you make any decisions regarding the sharing of your diagnosis, (as eventually you may have to), you may want to have a chat to these people in confidence. here
