Talking about my newly diagnosed condition: is it okay?

Is it wrong for me to talk to others about my conditions if it’s newly diagnosed? At that stage I don’t have much information on it or how it effects me, and I don’t want to tell others incorrect information about it.

It isn't wrong at all

No it's not! Everyone on here was new to their conditions at some point. I'm sure you know a lot more than you are letting on. Just gotta dig deeper if you know what I'm trying to say. (my brain isn't working well right now so if it doesn't make sense then sorry)

It's not wrong at all! Talking about your conditions early on lets them be there for you through your journey, and makes it a little less isolating. Plus, if you ever need to vent about your conditions later on, it won't be awkward, because they'll already know

You have the control over who gets to know any information about yourself

Not at all! I mean, I was only diagnosed with chronic migraines a couple of months ago, do I know anything about it? No! So how do I learn? By talking to people with the sand condition as me! It's the whole reason I have this app!
