hi luke,
i'm glad you found us. it's ok to be scared. i remember being afraid when i was dx'd also.

one thing that helped me was to come up with some sort of plan.
like i could share with a friend or family member. just talking about it can help.
also, if it's a specific fear you could come up with a plan.

for instance, if i get too tired in the grocery store i could use their cart, park closer to the store, get a handicapped sticker for my car. i think that developing a plan and taking 1 thing at a time gives you more control over the fear. and control = power.

we're here for you.
