Sunday morning share and find for anyone suffering from FND, this lady now has her own YouTube channel " The Mindful Gardener " Sam's story is the one I resonated with the most as we had identical symptoms.
This is for anyone living with this chronic condition, you CAN recover, you are not broken, there are no medical treatments but recovery is not linear.
My symptoms have been awful these past few weeks as ive had a nasty virus, I was terrified......even though I live and breathe this stuff now it is such an unknown and isolating condition only people suffering from it know how awful it is.
I hope this helps anyone going through this, we need to recognise this unseen condition and be a bit more understanding of people with it.
Imagine you are stepping off a park roundabout, the ground feels like its moving, you feel sick with the motion, the floor is like a trampoline, you have visual snow along with eye tremor so everything bounces, you brain zaps get so shocking they are penetrating your whole body as well as your head and ears, your ears are ringing / howling so loudly and this is just a glimpse of the sensations. You sway / rock / tremor / stutter and you cannot retain information or recall it. When you try to read the words jump or Mexican wave on the page, any movement, hand gestures or screen scrolls leave you reeling and trying to find something unpatterned or still to focus on becomes impossible.
Now imagine all of that while raising a family, going to work, doing daily activities and tasks, trying to hold and understand conversations......its exhausting, isolating and lonely 😵💫 The Mindful Gardener and The Steady Coach channels are the 1st steps into your healing, finding your people and helping each other.
Have a beautiful Sunday 💛 please share this info with anyone going through this so they are no longer terrified, vulnerable and alone 🫶
