    Recovery is not linear (repeating this to myself!)

    Back before Thanksgiving I decided to give the Curable app another try. When I had the free trial, I liked it but I don't think I interacted with it too much. This time I decided I would do a lesson a day and if I was dealing with a pain episode I would use the panic button. So far I have...

    Day 20 Cluster/Spiderwriting

    Well, I am not a fan of the cluster/spider writing! I felt like it didn't dig deep at all! And 5 mins? It takes me more time to flesh out my thoughts than 5 mins. Even when journaling I am having a hard time digging to my emotions. Sometimes I don't feel like it does a thing and other times...

    Gut health and exercise

    This is an excerpt from a new article by National Geographic which might be accessible here, although it's probably behind a paywall. The section about gut health and moderate exercise is, I think, of particular interest to many of us with TMS (the rest of the article describes digestion in...
