News of Conversion Disorder Forum

I cannot tell you how good it is to know that I am not alone in this. I have never met anyone else with Conversion Disorder. I have been dealing with this for 14 years now, and I felt as if no one understood me.

Hello,

I am new to the forum and this is my first post. I'm here because I was researching Conversion Disorder, which I was diagnosed with earlier today.

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the forum and have a concern that I need addressed, if at all possible. Over the last few months I've been experiencing symptoms that I'm highly suspicious of being, somehow, related to CD. I'm getting ready to go out and all of a sudden, right out of the blue my legs start shaking so bad I'm fearful of falling! It's a very weird sort of trembling and it feels like ...

I had non-epileptic seizures for three years, starting when I was 16. They would last anywhere from one hour to three hours. I would be convulsing but totally aware of my surroundings and able to interact with the people staring at me.
