💙 Help Us Create The FND Companion 💙

A Resource Created by FND Warriors, for FND Warriors

At Not Defined By FND, we’re always working to uplift, connect, and support our community—and we’re thrilled to share a sneak peek at something truly special.

We believe that community is everything—and no one understands life with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) quite like those living it every day. That’s why we’re so excited to announce the creation of The FND Companion!

This project is more than just a booklet. It’s a heartfelt collection of encouragement, humor, and wisdom—crafted by FND warriors, for FND warriors. It’s all about sharing the things that have helped you, made you smile, or reminded you that you’re not alone on this journey.

But before we can bring it to life—we need your help.

🌟 What is The FND Companion?

It’s a community-created guide full of real-life experiences, uplifting quotes, survival tips, and even some laughter-filled moments. Whether you're newly diagnosed or a long-time warrior, The FND Companion aims to provide comfort, solidarity, and hope. This project was born out of a simple but powerful idea: the best advice comes from those who’ve lived it.

📝 What We’re Looking For:

We want to include a wide variety of content that reflects the strength, creativity, and humor of our community. You don’t have to be a writer—just be you. Your words might be exactly what someone else needs to hear. Here’s what we’d love:

✅ Encouragement & Motivation: Share a favorite quote, mantra, or personal words that keep you going during tough times.

✅ Personal Reflections: Have you had a moment of breakthrough, insight, or peace on your FND journey? Share it with others who might be struggling.

✅ Tips & Tricks: What helps you get through the day? Creative hacks for managing symptoms, daily life adaptations, or ways you’ve found joy despite challenges.

✅ Funny FND Bloopers: Because we all know that sometimes FND brings us unexpected (and hilarious) moments—and sharing them helps us all feel a little lighter.

✨ Why Contribute?

Because your experience matters. Your story has the power to:

• Encourage someone who’s feeling hopeless.

• Make someone laugh who needed it most.

• Give practical help to someone feeling stuck.

• Remind someone that they are not alone in this.

We believe in the power of community. And when we come together to share, support, and uplift, we create something truly powerful.

💙 Let’s Build Something Together

We envision The FND Companion as a source of strength and connection—something a fellow warrior can open on a hard day and find hope, understanding, and even a smile.

Whether it’s encouragement, inspiration, advice, or bloopers—your voice belongs in this guide.

Let’s show the world what resilience, heart, and community look like.

We are in this together.

Hand in hand.

Heart to heart.

And always… Not Defined By FND 💙

You are a warrior. You are enough. You’ve got this.
