Functional Neurological Disorder/Conversion Disorder

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that I am back after an extremely busy, exciting and life changing year (more on that later) and that I will be back to raising awareness of various physical health issues, mental health issues and disability. I am so thankful that I am able to return to this amazing community of people who are always there for support and encouragement.

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…
