How I have a full diagnosis
Now I have a full diagnosis, more family members are avoiding to talk to me.
Just be nice to speak to them and have a normal chat and ask how I am doing.

Sorry to hear that @sparkleapril, it's so difficult dealing with your own feelings about a new diagnosis let alone other people's feelings, but I think sometimes family and friends can be affected too when someone they love is going through something they don't quite understand. I've found that people who haven't been through similar experiences can often find it difficult to know what to say.
Would you feel up to reaching out to them to say how it's making you feel?
It might just be that they need a little while to come to terms with things, although I can understand how hurtful it might feel that they're not talking to you. Hope you're doing okay!
