Hey everybody. Long time no see (again...) in my last post, I was talking about how I had some parties planned that I was nervous about, and how I was doing a test for a new job. I went to all of the parties I planned to and had a really good time! I don't think I've given myself enough props...

Hehe, thank you Jan!!! :shame: I just got back from a fun night out. Okay, I cheated a little bit and took an imodium before I left but... STILL. I went out and stayed out and even drank and ate and was fine! This feels like progress, even if it's just a little bit of it, so I'm happy for now...

Hi Ian! I just started this program too, let's cheer each other on! :) I definitely know the stress of having a parent go through chemo - my mom was diagnosed with Leukemia when I was in high school, and it was one of the worst times in my life. I'm glad to hear your mom is doing well now too...

Hey everyone! Did you think I gave up? ( just kidding :p) Like someone else said in their post, I'm going at this slowly... but surely! I had to take a break because I got a new job opportunity! In my industry (animation pre-production) rather than having a traditional interview, we have...

Love this post!! I relate very strongly. Why do we treat ourselves so much worse than we would treat a friend, or even a stranger? We do amazing things, and should give ourselves more credit and love :)

Insightful response as usual, Jan!! Will practice recognizing and acknowledging. Got back to walking after a few days break and had no problems, so that's good! Ugh, I would love to live somewhere nice and rainy... why does my industry have to be here in the desert? :(

Sorry for the late reply - took a day or 2 off from SEP. Thanks for telling me about Headspace, I've never heard of it before and I want to check it out! And hehe, my cartooning is going just fine, thanks for asking!! :)

Hi Beezy! I just started SEP myself 3 days ago, also for RSI in the wrists from what I thought was lots of computer use. I read before that it's normal to have a pretty significant recurrence of all your old symptoms after a while, so I think it's awesome you weren't scared away and re-committed...

Hey everyone! I was really surprised how many people replied to my first day's post, and even more surprised at how encouraged it made me feel, so here I am back again on day 3, where the question to ponder is about the last time you exercised. Since my TMS pain is mostly in my wrist and...

Mike - it's really good to hear from somebody a few weeks ahead in the program - really gives me motivation to carry on!! It's awesome that you haven't had a flare-up for two weeks. It's only been 3 days in the program for me, but I haven't either! :) It's interesting that we both ended up here...

Thank you Zumba & Walt!! Zumba, it's great to hear you made it through! That's amazing! And Walt, those daily reminders are definitely helpful. Also it's funny, because even though my wrist pain isn't related to drawing in a repetitive-injury way, they're definitely related psychologically -...

Jan! Thank you so much for your kind reply, I felt really excited after reading it. Thank you for the book recommendations, too - I had been putting Sarno's books in my Amazon wishlist, but you reminded me I totally need to check out my new local library. I'm definitely going to give TMS a...
