This is just your TMS brain trying to trap you. There is ALWAYS a way to have joy. Always. Even just looking out the window. I say this as a true friend because I have very limited capabilities right now. At first, I thought my whole life was cut off. But in the last few months, I’ve had a totally different attitude. I think of everything as possible— Even if I have to do it another way, or a way I’ve never thought of before. Yesterday, I was thinking I would love to dance because they say it’s really healing for TMS. Of course, I can’t possibly dance right now. I have no balance and I have to hold onto something just to stand up. I was listening to some music later that day that sounded so good. I wanted to dance automatically and I started just kind of moving a little in my chair. And then I laughed because I was actually dancing! And it was fun and it felt good. Open your mind to possibilities and you will find fun all around you. I promise. It will make you feel so much better— And so much hope! Don’t give in to the darkness.

I finally admitted to myself that I block myself from doing things because I’m actually angry that I have TMS— I’m angry that I can’t do things the way I want to or the way I used to. But that’s only hurting myself. And it certainly won’t help me get better. Besides, who wants to be sad?
