For anyone fighting their way though fnd or or any other difficulties. Never forget that you aren't alone in your fight and there is light at the end of the tunnel. You are amazing and strong. you deserve love, hope, passion, and life. You are not faking it. Things will get better, my love, so never give up❤️❤️

"Hope” is the thing with feathers

By Emily Dickinson

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul -

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -

And sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little Bird

That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -

And on the strangest Sea -

Yet - never - in Extremity,

It asked a crumb - of me.

"Angelic Warrior"

Today is Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) Awareness Day. I struggled to finish this piece in time to post it because I wanted everyone who suffers from this illness to know they're not alone. My FND symptoms are challenging me now, so I'm asking a family member to type this for me - one of my "angelic warriors". Remember- we can't fight this alone and we all need our personal angels - whether that's family, friends, faith, or something else. I hope my painting inspires you to keep pushing through the challenges - you're not alone and we're not defined by this illness.

Today's painting is called "freeing inspiration." It is the 3rd in the series and is probably my favorite so far. When I started the painting, I had no idea what colors I was going to use or what word I'd choose.

As I was painting, I noticed it started to look like a color wheel. That's when this word of inspiration popped into my head. So there you have it, that's how the painting got its name.

I just finished this painting today. It's a very special piece to me because it represents the growth of self-love. When I was 9 years old, I started having seizures, losing mobility, extreme pain, and so much more. We went to so many doctors and soecialists who ran so many tests, but they always told me and my family the same thing: that I was "faking it"; to "ignore" me and that I wasn't worth the trouble. For the first 3 years, this was all we heard, and I started to believe it.

3 years after all of this started, i was diagnosed with FND (Functional Neurological Disorder). I lost myself through all this, and I really felt no self-worth. I tried to be what people wanted me to be, but I couldn't. I'm just now starting to heal from the nightmare that I had to live - and still do. Because no matter what, there will always be people who wouldn't believe that FND is a really thing and that it shouldn't be taken seriously.

If you're not familiar with FND, I urge you to learn something about it. It's estimated that as many as 300,000 people in the US alone have this disease. At least 1 out of every 6 people that visit a neurologist are diagnosed with this. Yet many people have never heard of it. It's similar to dementia, Parkinson's, fibromyalgia, autism, as well as several other diseases that we know very little about. There is no cure, but we manage the symptoms as best as we can.

I made this painting to show myself how much I have grown and that I am worth the fight! I want to raise awareness to FND, and I hope my story helps someone realize they are worth it, too. You can love yourself because you are beautiful, strong, and worthy. Don't let a diagnosis define your life.
