Hi there, I haven't posted in a while, but I have been doing the work, and doing pretty well for the past year. When I joined this forum last May, I was suffering with arm and wrist pain that I feared would become debilitating. One year later, I have tackled a lot of the issues that were...

As per day 15’s question to ponder, I am reviewing how my pain has changed since I started the work. The thing that pushed me to this work, was my arms reaching a level of pain and weakness that made me fear I would no longer be able to use them for little other than minor household tasks. I...

as I say, the thing that makes me doubt if TMS will work for me personally is that my jaw and teeth really are so bad. I have awful malocclusion, no space in my mouth for my tongue, and an awful forward head that I cannot physically reverse. I feel my body shift as I move my jaw side to side but...

Im that sounds like a very intense level of executive dysfunction, and I’m sorry to hear of your struggles. but I must admit, In the past I have considered constructing similar systems. I have a lot of work on my hands atm clearning out and renovating the house I live in, and there’s so...

For me it may be from my father lol

‘Give men freedom, they’ll beg for chains’ is a lyric from a rap song by Billy Woods that has stuck with me since I heard it. The nature of my anxiety has always been such that I tend to get overwhelmed by options and by limitless choice. I find boundaries and limits comforting, having certain...
