My closest sibling eleives that I am struggling more with a past eating disorder rather than symptoms directly related to FND. There is a huge misunderstanding on her part and she has involved my other friends. She was even planning to have an intervention. Boundaries have been crossed. But no one has come to me for the facts.
My husband knows everything that is happening with me and he is the only one that needs to know. I don’t feel like I owe people an explanation for having symptoms of FND. The worst part is I feel like I’m on trial and I have to prove my case. Yes, an eating disorder was something I struggled with for many years, but I feel like it’s used against me as a character flaw rather than an illness that I’ve struggled with like any other disease.
There are unfair assumptions and past experiences related to my eating disorder brought up when I’m trying to communicate my reality and it hurts. I’ve worked hard to overcome my eating disorder. The FND symptoms are involuntary. But even if I were suffering with an eating disorder, I’m treated like a disease that people don’t want to catch. I feel invalidated and alone.
Temperature sensory changes FND symptom? Confused!
