Kaylz, I can fully understand why a diagnosis of type I in your 20s would knock your confidence, as I know how I felt getting a type II diagnosis at 54 and I don't think my diagnosis is even comparable to getting a type I diagnosis. But you are coping brilliantly and your confidence will come back, as for anxiety I know how debilitating that can be, despite being a confident person I suffer with anxiety, I know that is almost contradictory but all of a sudden I can have an anxiety attack about something I have done for years, like going to work, been in current job for almost 16 years and all of a sudden one day had an anxiety attack and was frozen on the door step. One morning I had an anxiety attack about getting out of bed and it was on a weekend.

You are stronger than you give yourself credit for and very supportive of others, so congratulate yourself and look for the positives in yourself, we can see them.

Sending you love

Lorraine
