Covid isn't over! We're now going into an endemic! It will continue to evolve and make new variants, each more deadly than the last. I know people will say, "It will only kill the already disabled and elderly." Thanks for condemning my life and thousands of others to death because you wanted to go back to "normal life" and didn't do the bare minimum of getting vaccinated!

I was originally diagnosed with PNES (Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures) in Feb 2021. Now I've been seeing people use FND (Functional Neurologic Disorder), and as far as I can tell, PNES is either the old term or is a type of FND. I'm having a mild panicking feeling with not knowing how to refer to my disability. I want to use the right term, but I don't know exactly how to use the new term. Like, do I say I have FND, FND seizures, idk! I feel stupid for having an issue, but new terms kinda scare me, or at least not using them correctly scares me. Also I've developed so many undiagnosed symptoms about a year after my initial diagnosis with PNES and now knowing that FND is a thing not just a seizure disorder, I'm wondering if alot of my symptoms are actually connected to FND.
