The moment of diagnosis can be life-changing. Whether it brought relief, fear, confusion or all three — most of us wish we could go back and say something to our past selves.

💬 What would you tell yourself back then?

  • Would you offer comfort, courage, or practical advice?
  • What do you know now that you wish you’d known at the start?
  • How has your perspective changed since that moment?

💬 Feel free to write a short message to your “diagnosis-day self” — it might be just what someone else here needs to hear today.

Warmly,

Somya from the Carenity team🌼

I would say.... God has got you. He said he will never forsake you and he keeps his promises.

You have TWO ears and only ONE mouth for a reason: Listen twice as much as you speak!

Use ONLY reputable research sources. Educate yourself about every aspect of your condition(s). Be more informed than your physician.
