Struggling to accept SN. Have you been there?

I'm really struggling at the moment to accept the way I am. I have extreme OCD, anxiety and suspected ASD (waiting for diagnosis) and while finally getting the diagnoses is a huge weight of my mind (like yay I finally have an answer!) I'm so sad about how my life is not like I dreamed it would be.

My conditions affect every aspect of my life at the moment. I can't work, barely leave the house and don't socialise at all. I just don't know where to go from here. Do I accept that my life has limitations and try to live happily in a smaller world than I expected? Or do I try and try to fight my issues for the millionth time to try and get some semblance of what I used to want even though every time I try I tend to have a crash emotionally and take a few weeks to recover?

I have no one in real life to talk to about this and I just wondered how everyone coped with the way their own SN affect their life in general.
