    This isn't something I've experienced myself @sierrafox. Is it something you experience?

    It is. 

    The attacks are really strange. From blank staring spells to seizures with hyperventilation. To brief seizures and loss of awareness/consciousness. 

    But it’s also other symptoms with FND like tics and trouble with sensations.

    Mine lasted really long, once 6 hours. But once the fear passed when I was told what they are the lessened.

    Mine tend to be short in duration, maybe 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
