Hello everyone, I stumbled across this site while looking for a support group in my city; there isn't one and I'm glad to finally be able to talk to others with the same diagnosis. I was diagnosed a couple of months ago and I'm having a really hard time accepting that I am no longer superwoman...

Basically I am losing my entire world that I have spent 27 years creating. Where to start? well first off my family thinks im crazy, my brother does not believe my condition ONE bit and the times I have tried to "educate" him, he makes jokes which is extremely hurtful. My mom is supermom so she...
