Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. So, since my diagnosis just over a week ago, my family have started to behave differently towards me. They want to bubble wrap me & keep me in a bubble. Now don't  get me wrong,  I love my family & appreciate everything they do for me, but I've told them that I need life to be normal, I'm an anxious person as it goes & when they are acting differently it makes me feel scared. Obviously with a diagnosis like this they are bound to worry,  but then I start getting panic attacks that I can't seem to get under control. 

Just wondering if anyone else had experienced this in the early stages, I know it's upsetting for them, but I just don't need to be reminded that I'm "sick" every to mins x
