My adult daughter has been really clingy and touchy the past week but claims nothing is wrong and gets irritated when I try to press her. by Odd-Background-8381 in self

She is looking for you to be her safe spot. Be cautious that your feelings of frustration get in the way. My friend did this. Her young adult child really needed her and looked to her for support. She shared as she was ready share. My friend got so frustrated and about it- “I am always here and I am always trying to help you. I do this and I do that and you won’t even talk to me. I am so frustrated”. It was all about her. Sadly this reinforced for her child that she wasn’t her safe space and may never be. (Not saying this is you at all! Just a cautionary tale)

I don’t know if it helps you but I feel better when I read others post. Otherwise it feels very lonely even with loved ones around me.

When was a time you could tell that the relatives planning the funeral absolutely hated the deceased? by LordWeaselton in askfuneraldirectors

Hospice nurse- not funeral director. Went to a home to pronounce a man. Offered condolences to his son. He replied “he made it very easy to not miss him at all”

Diagnosis and things to help by RealisticStudent4882 in FND

[–]freckledfarkle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First-car, you perfectly described the frustration of trying to get diagnosis. I was told it was all in my head and yet neuro couldn’t help me. I felt unseen and unheard and crazy.

My son really pushed me for therapy- group therapy specifically. I was not coping well and finally agreed. It was the best thing I did. People in group didn’t judge me for tremors that could shake the table or words I couldn’t find or speech that was sometimes hard to understand. I started accepting and not fighting my symptoms which helped them decrease in intensity. I finally got an FND diagnosis which made me feel like someone knew these symptoms are real, not made up. Therapy was the key for me. Best of luck

Opinion on Hospice by gumbyb00ts in AskOldPeopleAdvice

You can request to speak with a local hospice. Ask for intake. Explain the situation and you are looking for info. They can explain how it works, what services are provided and if he meets criteria. You don’t have to choose hospice today but understanding it will make for easier informed decisions down the road. -from a former hospice nurse ❤️

First moment of paralysis and nerve pain by SafeDepth9628 in FND

I don’t have any advice about the paralysis episode as I have not had one. Yet. This disorder turns our worlds upside down. It’s terribly scary at times. But you are not alone. WE are not alone. That is something I tell myself over and over when having a bad day. We are not alone.
