FND and Mental Health Diagnosis

Hey ya'll 😆

I'm diagnosed FND (with seizures) and DID and there are times when I don't know where FND ends and DID begins. Sometimes, I'm dealing with both at the same time and in these times, I'm completely frozen in time and space until something gives. I'm coasting one of these times right now.

Trying to be ok with really not being ok, adds to the struggle.

I just felt like I wanted to share this for anyone struggling with both physical and mental disorders that coexist. Perhaps you're trying to find a way to manage day to day, hour to hour, maybe minute to minute even. You're not alone and.... you've almost made it through the day when this morning, you felt it was almost impossible. That deserves some recognition right there 😊

Hi, like you I have FND with seizures plus diagnosed with M.E. , PTSD. I seem to be suffering from initialitis! But yes it’s hard. Sometimes I write out what I’m feeling without trying to be positive when really it’s so hard most of the time. I would thump a pillow if I had the energy. Good luck with your journey. I empathize and sympathise
