After having repeated seizure-like episodes within the past 3 years, I discovered something called PNES; seizures brought on by extreme anxiety or emotional pain. It is apparently very common in people with BPD.

I haven't been to the doctor about it yet, but since people with BPD are known for experiencing strong and often painful emotions, I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced extreme, violent shaking or seizure-like episodes when they are at their lowest, or if anyone actually has PNES.

[If anyone is interested or wants to know if it sounds similar to their own experiences, I made a thread in /r/anxiety describing one of my episodes.](http://www.reddit.com/r/Anxiety/comments/1y1yjo/help_having_violent_seizurelike_episodes_is_this/)
