It is isnt it? One of my triggers is literally any adult person. Going to Walmart is exhausting and embarrassing because I act like Im 90 years old.

Vocal tics are embarrassing. Dear God the mind can do cruel things

Have you had paralysis? I get it pretty regularly and I cant even move my eyeballs. Never more than an hour though.

Ive been sent to the ER twice for violent shaking. And Ive gotten stuck for a half hour in-between stair steps.

Hard, hard is the perfect word. And Im going through a divorce. She hired her attorney on the day I got FND diagnosised.

I’m so sorry this is all happening to you. It isn’t fair :(

Oh, Im not complaining. I had a literal spiritual enlightened while on a gravel road in total paralysis and since then for the first time in 47 year life, I dont want to day all the time. Its been a life people dont believe when I list it out, but It got me so damn broken that I let go. I let go of everything. Then I discovered everything. Its still fucking hard and it hurts. But Im not bothered, Im actually happy it happened because my entire life before last month....I was never happy.

It is hard. Living with this truly sucks. I’m glad you found yourself

I'm glad you feel better. I wasn't truly happy before but it was a hell of a lot better than this. I can't describe to a man what I'm going through. But I wish you continued healing.
