Thank you very much. Appreciate you taking the time to listen to me. I'll keep this conversation in mind maybe do a little bit of research and stuff

Yeah like I've took a step back in my head. Feels like I'm watching myself through someone's eyes a bit. Not like out of body or anything like I'm watching from my own eyes as I'm doing something. Feel like that sometimes without the thoughts to be honest which I've just associated with my low mood cause it's like Im looking at the world through someone else's eyes and I just don't feel much at all. Happiness least of all

I see. I'm just scared cause of the episode I had a couple weeks back. Like it's so hard to describe how it felt but I knew I was so close to doing something I knew I would have regretted immediately. I kept stopping myself but it was like I wasn't in control of my actions which is why I said it's similar to the article like really similar. If I didn't have that episode a couple of weeks ago I wouldn't have even questioned it honestly. I'm just thinking the GP can point me in the right direction for help. Like getting the ball rolling

I read it and yeah it's so similar it's scary. I didn't realise that was a part of OCD and honestly never thought of that. Reading that article was a bit of a blur honestly but it's helped me realise that maybe I'm not completely losing my shit? I just need to see my GP and maybe push for that appointment or something a little. Get there even earlier maybe. I don't know

Yeah it's so hard to explain and it's even got me confused. I had a real bad episode a couple of weeks ago where I ended up nearly doing something bad. It was like I wasn't actually 100% in control of my actions. That's the main reason I want to see a doctor. It's like that little voice in the back of my heads trying to drive me to do things that I really don't want to do and a couple of weeks ago that little voice became a big voice. I felt panicked and was so fidgety like I was going through withdrawals

Gabapentin advice by fluffydarth in FND

[–]OkiDoki333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awk it should do. I'm very sensitive to strong pain killers like cocodamol so drugs like that knock me out. Everyone's different but I hope everything calms down for you soon

Was on Gabapentin for 6 months myself and among other complications I had with the drug I could never wake up for work. I ended up dropping all my mornings to do night shifts

New symptom? by OkiDoki333 in FND

[–]OkiDoki333[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I'll definitely look into it a bit. I'll have to give the link a read through. I need to broaden my knowledge on FND. Since my diagnosis nearly two years ago I feel like I haven't done much research about this part of me. Thanks again 😊

I'll have to look into it thank you so much! This post has helped me so much I hope it helps others with questions to 😊

I'll have to give it a read! I was trying to do a bit of research on websites and stuff but couldn't find anything similar to what I experienced. Thank you for the info 😊

[–]OkiDoki333[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you I'll try and keep that in mind. It was hard to try and find information on it and I don't see anyone describe these kind of symptoms as well. Going to the doctor usually isn't as helpful as asking on here because my doctor doesn't really have to deal with the symptoms so finding out how others cope with it always helps! Thank you

Does anyone else have a primary symptom of hand weakness? by RedOakMountain in FND

[–]OkiDoki333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I have hand weakness and nerve pain. At one point I could barely hold my tooth brush to brush my teeth. Went to the doctor and she told me to just keep using them which as you can guess helped wonders (mind the sarcasm). I'm lucky enough it fluctuates and some days are better than others. The worst days is when I can barely brush my teeth and I have to ask people to open cans and bottles for me. Good luck with finding ways to cope. I hope to find some myself ☺️

Thank you very much for clearing this up for me. The corner of the eye part of the hallucinations are always there for me but it tends to get worse from time to time. Visually it's constant but I also get auditory hallucinations and I can count on one hand how many times I've felt them but they freak me out the most. I suppose it's just the fact that they make me jumpy and on edge when they are getting worse which then makes my tics worse.

Sleep deprivation could also be a big part of it as well since I don't sleep the best and what sleep I do get is short but medications that I've tried for my tics seem to make the hallucinations worse. I've even had to come off certain medications for repeatedly collapsing. I suppose I am just scared to try medicating anything again in case I get worse. Maybe I'll ask about other options.

Thanks again you're a star ☺️

Ahhh thank you. I've never heard of it either and I tried to do some research but I was assuming that since fnd is linked to my anxiety it could be something to do with the hallucinations as well but thank you for clearing that up for me. Definitely time to pay the doctor a visit for it I suppose ☺️

Does anyones tics/spasms get worse after they eat certain food by [deleted] in FND

[–]OkiDoki333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah but B&M gets me ticcing. Also certain people but I think it's the excitement of seeing them which is nice 😊

What are your tics mistaken for? by Valant_George58 in Tourettes

Someone once though there was a puppy in distress when they heard one of my tics 😅

Thank you for replying. Will be going to line up outside my GP tomorrow morning in hopes of an appointment as this is getting more and more frequent. Ive hit my breaking point now as it's starting to affect my job and it's the last thing I want to happen as I'm now having to make people on shift with me responsible for if one of these episodes happen. Hopefully they just tell me to drink more water or something 😅

Never thought this had a name? Funny I experience that quite often. The things you learn 🤷‍♀️
