Hi everybody,
Although this activity is for day ten, I have been following the Structured Educational Program for about two weeks. I guess I have been spending a little longer on the readings and activities than most people.
I truly believe in TMS and that I have TMS. The second I feel stress or face the slightest confrontation my neck tenses up and I feel completely overwhelemed. Most of the time this anger only comes out in front of family memebers, which means I repress it most of the time. I haven't met with a TMS Practitioner yet but I would like to if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
Journaling has been extremely helpful. Sometimes I cry, or shout out in anger. It is hard to feel positive after digging down so deep. I usually journal in the mornings and then have to go to work. Any suggestions on what other people do to pick themselves back up?
I still get my TMS symptoms. I try to think of the emotions rather than the pain but it difficult. I get worried that something is wrong with me physically or that I pushed myself too much. I actually did Yoga yesterday, for the first time in a year and a half! It felt great doing it but of course I am conditioned to think it brings on pain, so throughout the day many of my old symptoms came back. I kept telling myself, "My back doesn't hurt, it's the TMS." Looking at myself in the mirror while saying these affirmations definitely helps!
I cannot thank everyone who put this wiki together enough! You are saving my life. I feel very hopeful that I will feel better and be back to myslef again shortly! I have already made great strides.
