WElcome BJ,
I am happy for you that you finally got a correct diagnosis.
Am sorry that you are scared.
One of the things that many of us have found is that once we are finally given the right diagnosis...it is so much more helpful knowing that there is treatment and options...finding the right medication path will take time and effort. Be patient with yourself and it takes time to see if the meds are going to work.
I hope that you are also seeing a therapist to help you to deal with your grief losing your parents....
