It's so brave of forum users to write their diagnoses publicly, knowing they could possibly face judgement from fellow forum members. Fortunately, there's usually lots of empathy in these threads. I know for one thing that I couldn't bring myself to write this kind of thread - if this ever happened to me, I'd go silently without an announcement

(I'm perfectly fine though, in case anyone's wondering.)
Anyway, not to steal OP's thunder or anything, and I hope he's is still kicking around and doing well.
Death is not the end - its a bridge to a new beginning.
