So I’m struggling with my recent re-diagnoses.. third to be exact. I’m 25 (f) and I have had brain tumours since I was 12- well younger but diagnosed at 12. When I was 19 I had my second and _thought_ last surgery, it was going to be my 6 year anniversary of being tumour free- but long story short they found a new one in a really bad place.
I had finally made it to university last year (which we never thought I would) and I got the news of this a few months in. So yeah, dropped out. It was my dream to become part of a research team in the neuroscience/ neuropsychology field.
So I’ve been looking for something to spend my days reading to take my mind off the feeling of being lonely or in denial… I still don’t know the word. (I’ve been told it’s like grief) Along with that I was diagnosed with autism at the age of 22/23 and still struggling with how I was treated growing up- even with how I feel so unaccepted by select family now.
When I have tried to look for books a lot of them are about people who were diagnosed with cancer as adults, autism as kids, have families and things that I just cannot relate with- that or books where the person cured themselves… and I can’t handle that.
I’m really sorry if this sounds soppy, I miss reading. If anyone has any ideas of books related to what I’m going through (doesn’t have to be about both) I would really appreciate any recommendations. Or if you have any suggestions of books that could help me escape into a character or another persons life as an extra on set, I would love those too.
Thank you for your time, I really appreciate it ❤️
