My sympathy - if diving is to you what it is to me, which is an excellent refuge from the "real world" plus a great stress relief trigger then this is not the best time to be told you cannot dive as having something wrong with you like this is stressful enough.
I am mid way through trying to sort a medical problem myself, and as said above it is very easy to try to rush back to work, diving and everything else before you probably should, and yes a lot of it is to do with wanting to be "normal" again.
All i can say to help is that though it has been difficult to cope without diving, it has been possible with the support of my club(s), friends, and family. As has been said above, the sea isn't going anywhere, and hopefully you will get back in the water sooner than you think.
Positive thoughts on their way to you...
