Story of when I went to a residential program in Florida

So like I remember this one girl that was working at the center I was in who was really friendly. She told me to make a wish and it will come true. I think it might actually be coming true but to be honest I should have made a better wish because my life right now is like I am barely living. It would mean the absolute world to me if I got more wishes that can be granted so I can live a more happy fulfilling life. I have always been a spiritual person and I really need so many more wishes to come true. I hope I do get more wishes from someone that will be granted. I am not telling ya’ll what I wished for haha #CheckInWithMe #Disability #MentalHealth #Depression #MajorDepressiveDisorder #Mania #ComplexPosttraumaticStressDisorder #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #Schizophrenia #Psychosis #Bipolar2 #BipolarDepression #BipolarDisorder #Anxiety #PTSD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #GeneralizedAnxietyDisorder #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #PostTraumaticStressDisorder #Selfharm #PostpartumDisorders #SuicidalIdeation #SuicidalThoughts #Suicide #ChronicIllness #ADHD #Addiction #Autism #AutismSpectrumDisorder #AnorexiaNervosa #BingeEatingDisorder #AspergersSyndrome #AnkylosingSpondylitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #Arthritis #Cancer #BreastCancer #Caregiving #CerebralPalsy #CrohnsDisease #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Endometriosis #Epilepsy #Dysautonomia #Grief #Stroke #WarmWishes #MightyTogether #ChronicInflammatoryDemyelinatingPolyneuropathy #Fibromyalgia #Gastroparesis #Loneliness #CongenitalHeartDefectDisease #ChiariMalformation #FunctionalNeurologicalDisorder

How's FND going?

Everyone's experience with FND is so unique. Mine started 11 years ago. Debilitating dissociative, seizure-like FND episodes. Depression quickly ensued when learning that there was 'nothing wrong with me' by a neurologist. Urgh. Thankfully, my brain responded well to CBT therapy within first months of diagnosis and I got a lot better over the course of a year. Not 100% cured but able to work. 11 years goes by and then last month, I had a relapse with intense, seizure-like episodes after a traumatic event. Took a month off of work for therapy and am back at work now.

I find FND extremely frustrating. Its a condition that has caused a lot of shame and self-doubt because it's physical symptoms without any concrete physical abnormalities. I've decided to no longer feel shame about FND and when it happens, I'm trying not to beat myself up because that just makes it worse for me.

How's your FND journey going? Feel free to message me regarding FND. Please know you are all so strong for dealing with FND. Give yourself plenty of grace and kindness! #fnd #functionalneurologicaldisorder #psychogenicmovementdisorder

I’m new here!

Hi, my name is BethanyChambers. I’m based in Brisbane QLD and I have been permanently disabled with chronic pain since 2012 when a hernia repair operation destroyed my world. I am now fighting for my life due to 3x hernia mesh attaching to my organs and intestines. I will be undergoing a full abdominal reconstruction and mesh removal surgery in July. I will be cut from sternum to groin and hip to hip to allow access to the many titanium tacks and mesh migrated under my right ribs.

Sure would be nice if the disability social network had anything about FND. Instead, I joined this place and now feel like it’ll just as dismissive…

Are theories allowed here? Hopefully they are :-)

Is it possible that FND is caused by your brain needing to adapt to something in your life But it backfired? Since You yourself weren't exactly aware of what was going on in your brain or what needs adapting, your brain created a disconnect from your body trying to adapt.

FND Service Dog

I have Functional Nuerological Disorder which causes non-epileptic seizures, paralysis episodes, blackouts, walking weakness/instability, muscle spasms, vision impairments, hearing loss, tics, and more.
Would you recommend a service dog?
Already have 55 lb St. Berdoodle (female) with much potential. She is well trained and alerts to my symptoms and seizures, as well as responding through DPT.
