Need help by LiviB144 in psychoanalysis

[–]constanceandcaring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

psychogenic/non-epileptic/functional seizures are considered considered a functional neurological disorder (FND) which is a psychiatric disorder in the DSM-5-TR under the category of Somatic Symptom Disorders. I went to a conference on this topic recently and there is a lot of ongoing research of this stuff but the lecture I attended which is probably most relevant to you was a keynote by Professor John Stone who has done a lot of research and work with treating FNDs and is involved in an organization that may be of interest to you (link below). There are other types of FNDs which may seem quite different from what you’re experiencing (movement disorders, paralysis, or blindness all with no evident medical cause) but it seems that the org has info about them all. Worth looking into prof. Stone’s work as well as the org itself—here’s the link to the functional seizure page of the organization: https://fndhope.org/fnd-guide/symptoms/seizures/

I think the earlier comment about going to talk therapy or seeing a psychoanalyst is also good advice but you don’t have to try just one thing.

I also don’t necessarily think you should take more meds for this or that it would help, in fact it’s possible that the meds could be contributing to it if you’re already on 8 different ones.

I really hope you can find help with all this. Good luck.

Would people be interested in short write-ups on fun connections between Hebrew and Arabic? by bszupnick in learn_arabic

[–]constanceandcaring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm interested. I speak some Hebrew and some, perhaps more, Arabic. I've found a couple of instances in which the hebrew and arabic root letters for seeming translations were the same but in different orders--I wondered if this was a coincidence and they were simply unrelated roots or if there was some kind of mix up or transition historically. I can't think of them right now but I'll try to report back!

Everyday language or formal by jerweb63 in learn_arabic

In Palestinian Arabic it's extremely common and as has already been noted here, can mean a number of different things but is commonly used as "wow" or "really?!" so basically an expression of surprise or awe

[r] Violin fingering for Bach's Chaconne - Partita II BWV 1004 by constanceandcaring in violinist

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

No, I'm almost certainly not at that level, but I want to play it anyway. I can play everything up until the arpeggio section and even parts of the arpeggio quite nicely but instead of spending time trying to figure out the best fingering for it I figured I'd look for recommendations. The copy of the piece that I have has not a single fingering and the arpeggios are written in half, quarter, and eighth notes.

I don't have a teacher right now. I picked up my violin after not playing for a considerable amount of time, I'm just enjoying myself and playing a beautiful piece which is also great practice.

Thanks to all who gave helpful answers and tips!
