Day 8 8

[Ella1234]

Day 8 thoughts... I've been struggling. I'm almost fully convinced this is TMS, with slight niggling thoughts remaining. I've had shoulder pain since the end of July, just over 3 months.
Previously I've had TMS in the form of RSI, sciatica, long Covid, and ankle pain.... But I'm finding this time it's harder to resolve. I think maybe I'm just so exhausted with life and I can't find the time and energy to do some good journaling around it. I feel like I know enough about my stressors and tms from all the previous experience and I expected it to be resolved more easily. But it's harder... So I'm trying to re do this structural programme, although I'm struggling to stick at it daily.

That makes sense! I completely understand that a lot of responsibilities are unavoidable, but when I hear that you can't take time for this I immediately think (assuming it's TMS as you likely have TMS personality traits) that you're potentially putting too much pressure on yourself and not taking enough care of yourself.

Thanks @Adam Coloretti (coach) , your response here was a nice reminder to myself to take some pressure off. It's easy to read the various stories in the books and here about "I read the book then bam, i was cured" so the comparisonitis kicks in and you wonder "why's that not happening for me"
