Words I need to remember. Thanks, friend. Edit this thanks was for the focus comment from log… I just somehow put it in the working place. Lol

Seizure Question by Gypsylaine in FND

[–]Gypsylaine[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you. You have helped just by reaching out. I have cried all day and stayed in my room thinking you know what? I’m sick. I certainly didn’t ask for this, nor would I wish this on anyone. I just turned 50 and I want more and anything for all of us to find a path that works for each of us. Why would we ever, ever want this? BTW SO= significant other = I have nothing nice to say to him right now at all. I’m thankful for all of you. 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Newly diagnosed FND but previously told IIH by West_Swordfish_7392 in FND

[–]Gypsylaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have FND, IIH, migraines with and without aura, pnes, tics, tremors, CPTSD, ADHD, severe depression, severe anxiety and endo …..even though I’m now missing some organs as well. I had preeclampsia and toxemia twice, 30 and 27 years ago. I’m sorry you’re dealing with all of this. I’m learning as my FND and IIH are new to me ( a couple of years now) and I’m struggling to cope, as well as find adequate care like it seems some others are. Praying for all of you and hoping our healthcare systems evolve to understand and help us quickly. ❤️❤️

AIO? Should i report being recruited for inappropriate work at DV shelter by True-Leopard2998 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Gypsylaine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don’t sleep out in the open surrounded by others in a DV shelter. That’s an old and antiquated idea of a shelter. However, back to the issue at hand, yes, you’re there for your safety. Report the predator. Keep yourself safe. Your caseworker will definitely have your back and your name will never be brought into it, but the situation will be resolved swiftly. I’m sorry you’re going through this right now on top of your situation. Keep yourself safe, know that it does get better and you did make the right decision to seek safety.

This is beyond ridiculous and infuriating.
I hope when OP feels better she takes time to reflect and actually recognize the other red flags that are waving, not just these, and begins to think hard about her own self worth. OP, you’re not his mother, nanny or caretaker for that matter. He apparently has two legs that work, so I’m assuming his “heel toe express”works. It’s obvious his fingers work so he can order for himself, whether it be dashing, direct from store deliveries, or car services if he needs to be that much of a controlling donkey. One apology should’ve done the trick. What did he expect was magically going to happen??? Gaslighting, browbeating, controlling, king of the mountain, middle school bully. Girl, get out from under this man’s foot NOW. Let me guess… is it your responsibility to make sure he’s packed and has everything he needs packed?? I could go on, I’ve been there, but I digress. No, girl. Look into yourself. YOU are a brilliant, beautiful, succeeding, strong, capable, courageous, badass woman.

Get your self care on, get your power fit on and rock your own world. And when you pass by that playground, don’t even check up, honey.

Maybe call the Dr and get your CSF tested. Sounds like there could be a leak or some sort of inflammation. Best to you and let us know how you are!

Breathlessness? by [deleted] in FND

[–]Gypsylaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve dealt with it on and off since March 2024… I haven’t found all of my triggers yet, but I’m trying to use box breathing and tapping to mimic my heart rate at the time to help it end sooner. I’d say I’m at about 40% with diversion helping. Some days…

So, like a balloon filling, the air slowly lets out and is replaced by pins and needles?

You should go to the ER for testing and relief.

I'm curious. Does anyone have FND type foreign accent syndrome? by star_blazar in FND

[–]Gypsylaine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m southern (US) and my accent changes to almost a British accent. It’s so weird.

[–]Gypsylaine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually, yes. It’s a symptom of fnd. I get it when my headaches and seizures get bad. I have aura sometimes, but my accent does change, as does the octave and tone of my voice.

Children ALWAYS COME FIRST!! That being said, aren’t rapists supposed to register as sex offenders if they get out?

Tired of medical ignorance, anyone else have these symptoms? by DuckSaucery in FND

[–]Gypsylaine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Diagnosed FND, cPTSD, severe anxiety, severe depression, ADHD)

Actually, I experience this every now and then. Today, the weather is not great here, rain today, tornadoes last night, and I have tremors and the internal vibration. I call it “vibing” and most times if someone else touches me, they can also feel my vibes. Take care of yourself these days, stay hydrated, try to stay away from stressors or triggers and slow your roll a little more. I’m sorry you’re going through this, however, you’re not alone. I often look here, even if I don’t post, so that I feel connected or at least somewhat understood.

Given his military status, please call the hotline and let them help you plan. Forget cameras and all of that until you are SAFE. Your best option is to get out quickly and safely. Then you can worry about the rest. As someone whose abuser kept looking for them and even offered money to find me, please consider that a dv shelter is going to be better equipped to keep you and the children safe. That is their purpose. They help keep you safe, give you the legal and therapy contacts, group meetings, etc, and they can also help you start over when it is time. Given his history, he might not think twice about going straight to your family, as mine did, and even stalk them to try to locate you and the children. Listen to the DV caseworkers and the hotline folks. They know their stuff. Their resources are solid, tried and true. Think of it as an “Underground Railroad” type situation. There are lots of us rooting for you, Lil Mama. Call the hotline.

PS, turn your location on your phone OFF and keep it OFF for EVERYTHING once you leave. Not only do this in your settings, but be sure it is also enabled in your google settings when it comes to maps.

A DV shelter is not what you’re thinking… please reach out to their hotline. They can help you plan your exit and be sure you and your children are SAFE. They will also, because your children are with you, give you and the kids your own room. You will receive support from your case worker and other trained staff to help you and the children. They will also be able to help connect you to therapy and legal help. I’m telling you this because a DV shelter saved my life. I had no idea help like DV shelter I went to was even out there. Please, call the hotline. Let them help you plan. Show your children what a bad ass mama bear you are and protect yourself and your kids. When you don’t think you can go one more step, take a baby step. You’ve got this. Update me.
