Functional Neurological Disorder/Conversion Disorder

From speaking to people who live with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), it seems that there is something that seems to be a common experience for many people – that they were given a scrap of paper with some website addresses written on it at the same time as they received their FND diagnosis. This was certainly the case for me when I was diagnosed with FND – 2 websites (one for @fndhope and the other for neurosymptoms) scribbled on a torn off piece of paper. So, I am interested to know how many other people have also experienced this when they were diagnosed with FND.

I have to read A LOT for my courses to catch up, but I can't seem to just go all in like I used to😭

I was thinking of using fidget tools/toys for stress relief/anxiety.

However, I have limited movement in my hands and they're quite weak.

So...please any recommendations haha 😅 I was thinking slime? Or a version of thinking putty? Or a fidget ring ? Or an acupuncture fidget ring?

Any and all help would be mightily appreciated🥰

Sending virtual hugs to everyone 💜

For two days now I literally can’t eat.
Just the process of eating so wayyy to exhausting and difficult…
So I drink my calories…
Smoothies and yfood.
It tastes really good like a coffe flavoured pudding shake. 😋

Today I forced myself to eat rice salad wich was horrible…
A fish salad was way easier to eat and tasty.
But just looking at the food and thinking about the process of eating disgusted me as it was way to hard…

I hate how depression affects something so natural as eating…
It’s soo exhausting.

It took all my bravery to ask in group therapy about people who experience the same symptoms.
They had soo many good answers for me.

I hope it gets better with time…

I befriended a woman in the psychosomatic clinic. She’s sixty. We had some pretty intense deep talk and both of us cried happy tears as we found solace in each other.

She saw my drawings and asked me to draw her a lion. She got me the reference and the paper and said the drawing style was up to me.
I was grateful for it, that way I could have fun :)

The whole process took me around 2 and a half hours. It was so good drawing again.
I hadn’t mixed these media’s before.
The base is watercolours and the rest is done with coloured pencils. 🎨✏️

It was so fun and relaxing. 🕊️

For her it’s the lion of Judah.
I hope I could do Yeshua justice.
