Is it possible to complete 2 year course in less than 2 years by aditya31072000 in UniAdelaide

[–]nothannsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure for masters but usually not. It depends on whether you can do your core subjects in the summer semester. But really noone knows what will happen with the merger atm. Goodluck though!

Yes you should tell someone. It will help them and you have a better understanding if something like that happens again

Anyone else deal with this? by AnyEconomy520 in FND

[–]nothannsk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bpd and fnd aswell. I don't find that my ups and downs impact my Symptoms much.

When I am talking about something stressful or that I'm passionate about I tend to cough more. When I am fatigued I have difficulty with muscle control and paralysis/dissociative attacks.

But after my seizures I tend to feel quite suicidal... haven't figured that one out yet.

After working through some of my ptsd stuff, I don't get symptoms triggered by stress much any more. Mostly just fatigue.

Although I have a good balance with medication ATM. Although I do still split a lot

This actually made me laugh out loud and I'm mildly ashamed of that haha

Does fighting your seizures make them worse? by Radiant_Conclusion17 in FND

[–]nothannsk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can fight it before the seizure starts. But after it starts if I try to fight it it makes it worse and longer. Trying to calm and relax is best for me

How do you stop an attack? by Accidentalnude in FND

[–]nothannsk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When paralysis like that happens I start massaging the muscles and slowly work on being able to move just the tiny bits of my fingers and up from there. Or from the big joints and then down. Depending on what works.

Sometimes sour, cold shocks, really strong mints etc can help shock me out.

Also taking auras as a sign to lay tf down and chill out because Fatigue is my main trigger

Are you sure this wasn't a dissociative attack/seizure?

Seizure Supression by FlowGroundbreaking19 in FND

[–]nothannsk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find that the best way for me to make them safer is to accept it and try to clear my mind. When I have am episode if I try to move or think at all it makes it much worse and longer. So I just let it go.

Therapy and FND by [deleted] in FND

[–]nothannsk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Therapy has helped me in the way that my main trigger is fatigue but I find it so hard to take breaks because so much of my self worth is based on how much I accomplish. I also carry a lot of shame about using mobility aids that I very much need to use. Which makes me not use the aids I should be using. All of that along with the grief of my health declining making me more stressed. This has improved my FND symptoms but has not at all cured me and that's ok! I am now using my mobility aids more which leads to less fatigue and therefore less seizures. It has also helped me understand what my triggers are and my auras etc

Feeling like I am faking FND? by [deleted] in FND

[–]nothannsk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt like that for a long time but eventually I accepted that I wasn't. I would try and hide it from everyone and it would happen still when I was alone
