- Chronic Illness ClubHi, BACKGROUND I have FND, PNES(psychogenic non epileptic seizures), autism, depression, anxiety, and dyslexia. I'm around 14 and have around 4-5 seizures every day. In March/April I was in a wheelchair before I lost my memory and was hospitalized for over a month. My older sibling just got diagnosed with EDS and gets to use forearm crutches and plays wheelchair basketball. Actual question At this point my parents won't let me use anything related to a mobility aid. I can't use a elevator pass, forearm crutches, a walker, or a wheelchair no matter how many times I ask. They would be very helpful and would highly increase my quality of life. Also, every time I tell them about any pain or new symptoms they dismiss me, telling me I'm making it up, lazy, it's all in my head, or just anxiety. Does anyone else have to deal with anything like this or have any suggestions?
- Neurodivergent Corner!I - 14 yr old have lived a life where I have masked my autistic, ADHD, and anxiety traits my whole life having them pushed out of me by the significant adults in my life. now finding my friends who I can trust in my second year of high school I have finally started to look at who I am as a person. This might have caused the downfall in my mental health struggling with depression. More of my sensory issues especially with noise (my loop earplugs just arrived! definitely a recommend for noise sensitivity!!)and feel None of my mental health concerns have been diagnosed but everything mentioned fits my general personality. Since I have spent my whole life masking it, it is second nature. I have had lots of struggles with opening up and talking to people about my problems. Because I became so used to masking everything about me changes instantly, including my tone of voice, to avoid keeping a monotone. Now people don't believe me that anything is wrong. Do you have any hints or tips and tricks to get people to accept me the way I am? I was wondering if people have had similar experiences and might have an idea of what to do?
- Neurodivergent Corner!Recently I came to the awareness that I deal with depersonalisation and derealization as an affect of my Schizoaffective Disorder, and I realised I've never NOT felt that way. Lik Ive never looked in a mirror and not been surprised that "oh, I actually do have a body???" Or like constantly feeling like the world is tilting or seeming to be behind a glass? There are a lot of other symptoms that come and go but those are most frequent. Can anyone relate?
