What is that thing that you always wanted to do or want to do still (maybe hanging out with friends, asking out your crush) but you can't or couldn't do because of the embarrassing issue. Since I am going through same I would love to hear your stories.
God, I am 24 and I have these symptoms.
I'm a software developer from Pakistan, and I recently got approached by someone in the U.S. with an unusual arrangement.
He has been giving me profiles (not under my real identity) and having me attend software developer interviews. I've been doing 3–5 interviews a day for the past couple of weeks. If one of the interviews results in an offer, I wouldn't be working under my own identity. Instead, there would apparently be a team doing the work, and I'd just attent mettings and stuff and get my share of salary,
From what I've read, this sounds similar to "proxy interviewing" or "interview proxy fraud."
I'm trying to understand this from both a career and ethical perspective.
My questions are:
-Is this safe for my career?
-Why would someone use another person for the interviews if they already have developers who can do the work?
-Can you ever count this as real work experience if it's under a different identity and can i add this in my Resume?
-What are the biggest risks you can think of would happen working like this?
I'm not looking for advice on how to do it or avoid getting caught. I'm trying to understand whether this is something that could seriously hurt my career in the long run before I decide whether to continue.

Hello,I have been diagnosed with Functional Movement Disorder (FMD), and my symptoms resemble a dystonic tremor.
I have a question about the distinction between FMD and disorders such as dystonia or essential tremor.
My understanding is that routine MRI scans and many other tests are often normal in both FMD and conditions like dystonia or essential tremor. At the same time, doctors do not fully understand the exact mechanism of dystonia, and it is often described as a disorder involving abnormal functioning of movement-control networks in the brain rather than a structural lesion visible on MRI.
Given that, why is dystonia considered an organic neurological disorder while FMD is classified separately (software issue) When both are issues of software (networks)? What evidence allows us to conclude that dystonia is an organic disease if there is no definitive diagnostic test and the exact mechanism of Dystonia is still not completely understood?
A related question: since the brain is extremely complex and our understanding is still evolving, is it possible that some cases currently diagnosed as FMD could eventually be found to have underlying neurological mechanisms that are not yet understood or detectable with current medical technology? And we are suffering from it.
Another thought I had is historical in nature. Before dystonia was recognized as a distinct neurological disorder, patients with dystonia-like symptoms would not have had the diagnosis of dystonia available to them. Is it possible that some of those patients might have been considered to have unexplained or functional symptoms until medical science recognized dystonia as a separate condition? If so, how do neurologists think about that possibility when diagnosing FMD today?
I realize these questions are somewhat philosophical as well as medical, but I would appreciate your perspective.
Thank you.
24M. In 2018 I cold turkey stopped psychiatric meds after about a week of use:
After that I developed minor body jerks, but over the years I started having head shaking/tremor issues.
My symptoms:
What confuses me is that I’ve seen multiple neurologists and got completely different opinions:
But it’s not persistent all the time, which is why I’m confused.
I honestly don’t know what to believe anymore because all of these overlap in some ways with my symptoms.
QUESTION:
I am tired of searching for cure/diagnosis. Should I just believe now that I have some rare (Functional) issue that is not known in medical field and just move on with it?

Hi, So I'm 24 have Head Dystonic Tremor (only visible in some positions) Most of times I am normal. Gets bad when stressed or nervous.
Question:
- I have fear of people noticing my tremors. (Especially people that I think have better personality than me which makes me more prone to shaking in front of them which of course happens).
- Once a person notices my tremor. I feel nervous meeting them again (Cuz i think they have noticed my tremors and will see me as someone who has shaking issues). which is embarrassing . I get really nervous & start shaking meeting them again.
These 2 are my core issues. Is this normal for people with movement disorders?

Has anyone dealt with something similar or received conflicting diagnoses like this? I need help thanks.

24M Alright, So I have un-diagnosed Head tremor issues (Some doctors say it's Dystonic Tremor some say Functional Tremor some say It's Somatic symptoms).
-So I have very minor body jerks they get bad with I am anxious or center of attention.
-When I sit straight my head is prone to shaking with pressure/pain on back of neck but does not shake when i am calm (even when im calm I move my head slowly to right and left and head shakes so badly in no-no pattern). This gets really bad in social situations or anxious.
-Lips trembling and pressure when smiling (very bad in social or nervous situations).
First let me tell you I am a confident man. But As told my tremor is not always there but there is always a tendency of tremor in my head (just depends on situation or head position).
- To people that I think have better personality then me (Like good looking, talented, live in better city e.g). I am more prone to shaking meeting those people Since I think what if they notice my tremors and they will think I am anxious or idk something so this makes me more prone to tremors and guess what it happens since I think they are okay neurologically and I have this issue in brain so I am lesser then them when it comes to health part but either way i am confident about my own looks and personality/height etc.
- Also if some how someone noticed my head tremors (Now I know that they know I have this embarrassing issue). I fear meeting/contacting that person again or if i go meet them my heart beat goes really fast and my head tremor comes really bad.
- Also talking to a girl online on Discord that I know likes me I start shaking but This shaking only start for like the start of talking then I get good later once I calm down. (this happens only when I know she likes me and gives me too much attention or i think she has very good personality or is very pretty or idk man).
- Also there was an uncle who used to admire me like my personality is good and stuff I never had any contact with him but I had to buy something from his shop once knowing that he admires me I kinda become the center of attention in my own head. So I went to his shop and oh man oh I was trembling my head full body trembling was very bad it was very noticeable.
- Also I wanna go to a different city for a job since I currently have remote job but I have friends from that city they wanna meet me I always avoid meeting them cuz of this issue (What if they notice my symptoms??). Also that girl never seen me irl so when if she notices my head shaking on Discord video call with friends?? This scares me a lot and same loop starts.
Is this like a normal embarrassment response of head tremors or is it like a mental illness?
(I think I might have a movement disorder that reacts very bad to whatever this is a normal response of embarrassment of mental illness)
