Are you having pseudoseizures, biiv?

I had those starting about 10 years ago. The neurologist told me that it was all in my head, and he sent me to see a psychiatrist. At the time, everyone treated me like I was crazy.

These days, i believe that it is a physical manifestation of stress disorder such as PTSD.

Pseudoseizures are real . But they are not epileptic, and they don't show up on the EEG, or whatever it was that they did to me.

SSRIs and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helped me a lot.

I don't know if this has been at all helpful. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
