I'm new here!
Hi, my name is Daniel, but I go by CobaltBlue online. I'm 19 years old and have been diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).
I had dreams of becoming a freelance writer, but recently I had to step away from a job because typing has become painful. I now rely on an on-screen keyboard operated with a mouse, but even that can be challenging.
I'm currently using a wheelchair and will soon be starting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and possibly physical therapy as well. We believe this condition may be trauma- or stress-induced.
I'm trying my best to stay positive and take things one step at a time.
If anyone else here is dealing with FND or something similar, I’d love to connect or hear about your experiences.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
