" I hear ya. I'm 27. I cried for days when I got diagnosed. That's ok, we all do. Here's what worked for me: I told myself this is not a punishment, it's a challenge, a journey. Like running a race, it's hard work, but you will get through it. Take some time to do things you love, take each day at a time. We're rooting for you! "
