Hey, everyone. I have recently been diagnosed with Conversion Disorder. And boy, does it sound weird to say it (well, type it). My struggle began over a year ago, with what I assumed was a mysterious sports injury. I would have moments where my left leg would 'lock up,' meaning I basically lost function of the limb. It would become incredibly stiff and I would struggle to move it. I became prone to partial muscle ...

I'm new here, I discovered this page because I was actively seeking out other people to talk to with this disorder. My wife was diagnosed in February of 2017 with CD and also has Disassociative disorder. She has what's called non specific trigger CD, as was diagnosed by the CDC mental health division where we live after all neurological tests were negative. She has it rough, she daily has symptoms of feeling what she calls ...

I have spring allergy but it lasts in the summer too, so I don't know how to call it. I started to wander if it's maybe psychosomatic. As a psychologist I want to share my thoughts and experience with you and I would appreciate if you shared yours.

I am defensive, little narcissistic, ...

Hello :) new to the forum.

I have no history of chronic mental health problems and am usually a happy, non anxious person. Unfortunately I recently had an incidental finding on a scan (hopefully benign but under investigation) and it has turned me into a nervous wreck. I am permanently terrified that it's going to be cancer, despite reassurance that it probably isn't. I am constantly on ...

Hi all my name is Rita,
I'm happily married with four beautiful children and I am 29 years old.
I have just completed my spring semester with As and Bs and am part time military. That means I'm in the national guard. It's a lot of fun even though some people think I'm crazy for thinking my job with the guard is an exciting way to spend a weekend. So anyway now I've shared some ...
