Thank you so much for taking time to write such a kind and helpful response. I have trouble feeling my emotions. When my partner smashed the dustpan it reminded me of my mom at her worst, and I literally felt terrified but also enraged at the same time. I am a middle aged adult who felt like a...

My desire when these pain cycles return, if they manage to entrap me, is to stay in my room. I don't want to see people, move, engage with life etc. The pull of the bedroom is strong. I found myself crying the other day and telling my sister (who is very wonderful to talk to about this) that I...

I have been down this road many times Didn't know it was TMS for most of my life but looking back I have had so many different ailments that have come and gone....to be replaced. I have had anxiety since age 12 and depression that is managed. Recently I had a fight with a business partner who...

Also...brain surgery??!! Wow!

@Patrisia Thanks for the reply! I am glad you didn't choose surgery and that you have recovered so well! You have assured me of what I instinctively felt...that saying anymore than necessary during my dental visit is going to take me down a rabbit hole and not towards healing. Just yesterday I...

Turned out the infection was healing...and...

Well...beloved "turkey vulture" or "canada goose" is not as cool

By the way...I am working on this too! It is a journey...try journalling to your mini self...your child self. That scared little kid that wants to please.

I have been dealing with some nerve pain in my teeth and eating, brushing my teeth etc...makes it better. So does gardening, being asleep, being alone... Working is the challenge because my mind thinks being at work is dangerous. Its not. But I have some issues around self confidence, fear...
