Has anyone else found that their life gets exponentially better with every symptom they are able to move past?
I thought it was interesting that in another post Dave made a reference about the fact that I would like to not have any symptoms in order to label myself cured.
The truth is that I could care less about whether I am "cured" or not....my life right now is going very good and TMS is the last thing from my mind. That being said, over the past few years I have gotten past some low grade chronic symptoms and its amazing how much happier and healthier I've become in the process. This has sort of happened by accident, but now that is what it is all about for me. I have one more symptoms that creeps up from time to time, and I really want to get past it eventually....in the next year or so. This symptom has been with me since I was about 7 years old. I believe it was my first major form of TMS, and will be the last symptom that I get past. I look at this symptom as a guide to make me even happier and healthier -- like how I was when I was a young kid but even better. I am actually very much at peace with it, and wouldn't mind living the rest of my life with this symptom appearing from time to time. I would like to mature and develop myself even more so this symptom has no need to appear in my life......and then reap the benefits of that maturity and continued development -- more moments of the day feeling very happy, healthy, and even more comfortable in my own skin than I already am now. What I am really after has nothing to do with symptoms or calling myself "cured"....its much more gratifying |

No, not yet. But your post confirms my belief that it is possible. Thanks for sharing! Someday, I hope to be able to write something similiar!

I agree with you 100%. I view symptoms as a reminder that there is more work to do. It's very gratifying when you do the work and you see the symptoms ease. With each success that attitude towards symptoms changes remarkably. |
