I agree with savsanas points. Here's my take on yours:

1.) We all have choices. I can't get rid of my son's autism and I will be his caretaker until I die but I can choose not to make my life a monument for autism. I can still enjoy my life and that involves getting help. You could minimize contact people who are toxic. Heck you can even cut them out of your life. That's sometimes the healthiest choice.

2.). Financial constraints are challenging but there are still ways of getting around those.

3.). Your condition is debilitating but so are many other TMS equivalents. I had full blown RSD/CRPS and there were times it went full body or I couldn't walk or was bedridden with bedsores. You could even "see" my condition visually. I still got better as did many others.

4.). Just because you have gone into a "freeze" response (so have I during trauma) does not mean that you are doomed to repeat it for eternity.

There is a reason that Buddhist monks do not get TMS. They know that all their power is in the present moment of the now. They know how to just "be" without thought. People who suffer from TMS are always repeating their past in a chronic daily way and worrying about the future in a chronic daily way....otherwise they would not have TMS lol! You may understand the concepts intellectually but are you living them? That's what I loved so much about the original post by savsana ....it always always always comes back to your life and how you are really living it.
