Thanks Nicholas,
I know that I have a degree of cumpulsive thinking when I'm in the course of getting over TMS - and any journalistic inconsistencies grab my attention.
Obsession in general seems to be a very strong trait among the members here (myself included). I think one of the important keys is to read a bit, journal a bit, accept and then take a break for a day and allow things to settle in. The times I did nothing but study the TMS doctrine hour after hour I had slower progress.
Lance Armstrong was quoted saying "the race is won in the off season" - for me allowing a little time for the information to reach my subconscious is how I get better - that's my "off season"
When I feel weak I ask myself "Do I believe this diagnosis or not?" the answer is always "yes" to which I reply "then get on with it, OWN it, stop obsessing, it will happen" Reprogramming the brain takes time but takes longer if we feed false information to it.
Every day I affirm my belief in my diagnosis. There is nothing structurally wrong. It doesn't matter how much you weigh, what shoes you wear, if you ran 20 feet or 5 miles, if you take vitamins, if there is a full moon - none of these things have anything to do with TMS pain. I own it. I have TMS.

| Great Post Shannon...You really said it all...so eloquently...Accepting the DX of TMS is key...and I am one of the people who over-work the program of recovery..Over posting, over thinking, over reading...over everything...after awhile even the attempts to heal become a distraction..How ironic is that? I wonder to myself "WHat the heck could be sooooo bad down deep inside me that I am going through ALL this trouble to avoid feeling it??" |
