Yes, there is.
There are MANY of us who have had many years of pain and suffering.
I was (and still am) having pain, this is year 12 for the current chronic pain, but my TMS began at about 4 years old.
Two years ago I was considering how much of an impact my situation was having on my family. I was deeply depressed, highly anxious, and ready to end things. I had difficulty seeing anyone in person and spent most of my time alone in silence. I was bed bound and unable to sit for more than 5-10 minutes.
Today I ate a late breakfast outdoors, and am going to do some chores and some work and go for a two mile walk before making dinner. Maybe another sunset walk too. On the weekend we traveled to another city, participated in our favorite hobby, met lots of new people, then drove to a different city to eat a delicious lunch. I had to lay down for a bit when we returned, and yesterday was tough physically but mentally I had a wonderful day.
With TMS the biggest difficulty is not the physical issue (although not sleeping is rough), it is the mental suffering that is really the most difficult hurdle.
Your brain is simply rejecting the idea that there is NOTHING wrong with you. It has been protecting you by making you have symptoms, depriving you of sleep, giving you stronger symptoms and probably giving you running, endless thoughts.
It may be that you are dealing with a lot of anxiety - the endless whirling mind that doesn't stop. Claire Weekes books teach you how to deal with anxiety. She even talks about sleep or lack of sleep and what to do.
This method can take time and a lot of patience and kindness with yourself, both your mind and your body need this kindness. You need to let your body and mind know you are safe.
If you have a place to sleep, a warm bed, food to eat and you are alive and breathing, you are safe right now.
You have to tell yourself you are safe OVER and OVER and OVER because you will begin to explore the times you did not feel safe. Your subconscious does not know time - maybe you were unsafe 20 years ago, or 2 years ago...your subconscious doesn't realize that you are safe NOW. So you begin to teach it, slowly, that you are safe.

You are far stronger than you think. Look at what you went through a few years ago, but here you are.
You can do this.
One of the best things I heard, was a neuro-scientist ask the question: Would you let your liver boss you around? Would you let your kidney boss you around? No, of course not because they are simply organs. The brain is simply an ORGAN. Why do you let it boss you around? It is the bossiest part of the body, but it is not YOU. The brain is not your human essence, it is just an organ. Slowly and with kindness you teach it that YOU are in control.

I have faith you can do this.
