You have made some very important comments, so I highlighted some points that stood out as showing growth and great gains.

I admit, I gave up my journaling during the summer. Not because of the summer, but because of sudden changes in my daily life. I found myself exhausted by the time my "journaling time" came along and I just went to bed. I plan to give journaling another go, because time and time again, I am reading JOURNAL!, and not just here on the board.
quote:
At least I'm beginning to notice patterns, triggers and emotions that make my TMS worsen or subside, so I feel I'm going to make progress soon. I know that all the books in the world, read 20 times, aren't going to make the pain stop. I notice that even thinking psychological isn't helping me much; I can talk, yell and curse my mind out for the pain and it seems to laugh at me. I can think of many reasons for the pain, or sometimes none. I have to be proactive and do it. I really have to get to work and STOP TMS from running MY LIFE. This isn't TMS's life, it's MINE.
Suzanne,
It is Good to see you have arrived at a turning point along the trail to recovery, you have put up a flag, marked the spot and have continued on to the next step up the big trail. ](Grab your Journal and let’s go!! “Let’s see what lies ahead?”
It seems you have hit a point in your TMS Journey where you can see from another perspective, you can take a look down to see where you have been, with also realizing the steps you must take to continue up the path to recovery.
It is as if you where going up a long stair case and you arrived at the next landing,
You go!! Suzanne you have got the momentum and the right attitude as well.
Hope your jornaling prepares you to visit the destinations you must go. In return for your travels “give your TMS a Vacation of it’s own.” Now you can start taking snapshots of your TMS journey, mark them up to remember the milestones as you put together a new scrapbook along the way.
Yes it takes hard work and you’ll get wiser and stronger, gaining endurance and confidence. Feel good along the way as you take water breaks, remembering to unload the heavy baggage. When you return home you’ll have an empty sack but a full scrap book of memories of how your TMS took a vacation”.
Always Hope For Recovery
