Printable & Copyable

💬 Scenario 1: Cancelling Plans (Low Energy / Flare)

"Hey! My FND symptoms are flaring today (heavy body fatigue & speech hesitation), so I need to take a quiet rest day and cancel our plans. Nothing to worry about, just pacing my brain. I'll text you tomorrow when my battery recharges! ❤️"

🧠 Scenario 2: Explaining FND Seizures / Episodes

"Hi! Quick heads up: FND causes my brain's software to misfire occasionally, leading to non-epileptic seizures or temporary unresponsiveness. If this happens around you: stay calm, keep the area quiet, and don't panic or call an ambulance unless I'm hurt. I'll come back around naturally after resting."

🤝 Scenario 3: Requesting Specific Support

"Hey! I'm having an FND low-spoon day today. I don't need advice, but if you're free to drop off food or help with a quick errand, that would be amazing! If not, no worries at all—just taking it easy in quiet mode."

🌿 Scenario 4: Post-Social Event Recovery Notice

"Loved seeing you today! My brain is entering post-social defrost mode now, so I might be slow to reply to messages for the next 24-48 hours while resting up. All good, just recovering! speak soon ✨"
