Just diagnosed with FND, feeling lost and alone

@wise Really? Having only known for such a short period of time I guess most people just felt similarly to me. Is it because you only experienced some of the symptoms or had been ignoring them or was it another reason? /genq. I want to know more about the community and how this affects others

@needhelp I have severe dissociative disorders (DID among others) and the massive screening I did for that included testing for FND, although I had no idea at the time and my therapist didn't even know what it was. Dissociation is a symptom of fnd so the tests were combined (it also tested for BPD and other such things). My therapist then read a 100 page manual to interpret the results. I have been struggling for two years with severe and worsening chronic illness, been seen by my doctor every two months or more throughout that time, and have been thoroughly tested for other illnesses and disorders. The test found those answers on it's own but my experiences and medical history confirmed it. Does that help? Also please feel free to message me I would absolutely love to talk to someone with shared experiences as it's so rare even in the disabled community.
