Where I am now and a little of what got me here.

I have a disorder called conversion disorder plus PTSD and Tourette Syndrome which comes with ADD and OCD and major depression. The conversion disorder is what causes the pseudo seizures. It is mybodies way of releasing the events that caused the PTSD. All the events that I have held in since childhood decided they aren't staying pushed down hence a psuedo seizure. They are not real seizures because there is no impulses in the brain as say an epileptic seizure. I can get very stubborn during an episode. Ok more stubborn than usual people who have been around me when I have them know to just keep an eye on me and talk to me. Getting me distracted. getting me to laugh. At times I go into flight mode about 1/2 way through and depending on the severity of the episode how much I will try to get away. I usually go off when I know ems has been called and all but panic when I hear the sirens. Again my reaction depends on how severe the episode is. They are getting easier to handle and much less frequent as I go through therapy and my meds get adjusted.
