My progress

[Adjaay]

Hello guys,

I’m here to write about some progress. I have less painful hyperacusis (I listen to music with my earbuds everyday) but I am still struggling.

I think that trying to change on my own was the wrong move. I left my home country for a volunteering and now Im eating regularly, seing people, have a routine even if it’s not perfect.

I think my main issue is that im always anxious (and I have a lot of tension). I tried to implement some breathing exercices in the morning and at night during my skincare routine and it helps me to do that.

I feel that I always had access to nervous system regulation tools but it was always hard to do them. Im too impatient and my environment didn’t help me. There was a lot of negativity around myself, and I think the best decision for me was to leave my parents house.

Now I want to join communities to motivate each others. I feel that I need to express myself to feel better. Self-expression is important for me.

I need to get rid of my constant tension and have better thoughts even if it’s hard to not be afraid all the time. I need to seek help if needed because i always tried to do everything by my own with little success, and i think that’s why I have lost so many time without any progress. I know it’s still a long road but I hope that I will have what I need to overcome my issue. I have a right to a life that makes me happy for once.

Kind regards,
Adjaay

Welcome! This is so common for us TMS personalties, so I'm glad you've found the forum

I'm glad you returned with an update, @Adjaay, and that does sound like progress. It's very good to hear that you moved away from your parents and became involved in volunteering, and that these forward-moving actions are helping you to change and grow and start to recover, even if it's slow.

Yes thanks I hope so also !

Hey,
I understand! I hope my posts were a little helpful ! I had some progress but I am definitely reaching a plateau because I think I'm not consistent. I hope that we will both overcome our struggles !! I really understand !!! We are strong !
For the earbuds, I forced myself to listen to music, I feel a lot of my progress was by exposing myself, steps by steps which is not easy actually! Now I can listen to it each day! But really exposition is important. I remember when I tried to go out more for my Yoga classes, I had pain at the beggining because of the noise of the bus, but the more I did it, the more I felt less pain (+ yoga is good for the nervous system). Now I know that progress is possible but I need to have better routine.
