Doing it all alone?

Thanks, @berlinale! I appreciate you sharing your experience.
It's nice to connect with you and know we're not alone in our aloneness :) (although I wish none of us would have to experience any feelings of isolation).



Yes, this is what is happening to me regarding the symptoms causing me much reluctance to have even some of the basic social interactions that I had before! Although, yes I am certainly continuing to explore connecting more while allowing the symptoms to be there (even though my mind has basically created just the symptoms that continually make it more and more challenging - even something so simple as having a great phone conversation with a friend of a friend recently and then started experiencing a reoccurrence of burning lips/dryness/cracking combined with other that made me start to completely limit talking again! TMS is so creative!)

Looking forward to moving through and beyond all this together! Let me know if anything I can do to offer support on your journey.

thank you for your nice words. I am sorry to hear that a simple phone conversation caused your symptoms to reoccurr. I hope it did not last long. But if the result is that you completely limit talking again, TMS gets exactly what it wants. I know outcome independence is easier said than done and I am struggeling to implement it myself, but it is definetely a key element of recovery.
