    Some thoughts on health & recovery from writers

    I've been writing these down here and there. Here are a few: "For years I had been unhappy, consciously & deliberately... I isolated myself more & more, undertook less & less & lent myself to a crescendo of disparagement of others & myself. But in all that there was nothing that struck me as...

    Being vulnerable about anxiety after a full "recovery"

    Hi everyone! It's been a while here since I've posted. I've been really busy building Nervana, which many of you on this forum inspired (thank you again). But honestly, it's been really, really hard, from a personal symptom point of view. As many of you know from my initial story, I, like many...

    Recovery from Chronic Pain & Disease, What is Possible!

    ️ THIS WEDNESDAY ON TMS ROUNDTABLE RECOVERY! You've done the programs. You've read the books. You understand what TMS is. But understanding didn't make the symptoms go away. So you stopped believing recovery was possible for you. This episode is here to change that Fiona Symington lived with...

    The Foundation of Recovery

    Hello friends! I wanted to talk about two concepts that accelerated my recovery and will, without a doubt, accelerate yours. I truly believe that at the core of every success story—every recovery from TMS symptoms—there are two fundamental aspects: first, acceptance, and second, allowing How...

    What Recovery Really Means to Me

    Hi everyone, I've felt compelled to make this post as I think there is a bit of a danger in getting this twisted. Given most of us who have/have had TMS symptoms are perfectionists, we want the 100% fix. We figure (which is fair enough) that because some structural issues can be resolved 100%...

    Relapse Recovery

    I wanted to let you all know that I have recovered from my recent relapse. I'm going to write about a few things I learned from the experience in case it helps others. I don't want to spend too much time here or discussing my TMS as I think it's important to not let TMS become too big a part of...

    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...

    The Quiet Release: Losing Mind/Body Symptoms When Hope Is Gone & In The Absence Of Encouragement

    In the paragraphs below is what I found to be true from my personal experience of going from being housebound and bedridden (with extremely severe muscle pain and overwhelming undue fatigue) to now functioning pretty well by comparison (albeit I am not completely mind/body symptom free). When...

    Biggest Realization ❤️

    I've been repressing happiness, comfort, love, rest, joy, curiosity majority of my life. I've been taught that these things are a luxury and that I'm not worthy of them and that I don't deserve them. I've been taught that pushing yourself, working hard without rest, without listening to my...

    CRPS recovery, My Descent Into Pain and the Long Climb Back

    February 2024 at the age of 34— the thoughts started to come. Every day, while walking, I would think: If I just stepped in front of this tram, it would be over. I thought it on the way to the store, on the way home, every single day. Now August 2025, I have told months I told myself I’d share...
