It's been about two months since I was diagnosed and finally it has hit on the emotional level, no matter what I tell myself. I realize the feelings are playing into general anxiety about aging and whatever lies ahead.

You are not alone @paulagcl. @jdiakiw summed it up pretty well in a discussion here - Getting Old: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/getting-old/. Lots of good discussions for us old timers in the Aging Well Support Group here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/aging-well/

It’s been about 6 weeks for me and I can say it’s finally hit me emotionally, I’m anxious, stressed, cry. I keep looking for answers but I guess it’s a long journey. I’m 71 and to think I’ll have this till the end is very discouraging! These are not the Golden Years!!!
