I really hope you get to go Ines, I really didnt think I would ever go again which made the trip even more sweet. I hope you get to that stage soon :)

Hi Katie.... I felt exactly the same when I first found this website... every time I saw a thread that was foot related I would read it inside out in case there was something that could help me. I used lots of different guided meditations but the one that I used for releasing anger on Spotify is...

Thank you Gigi! I could not be happier as you can probably tell from my thread above. I "woohoo" a lot! I hope that more people experiencing TMS can find this website and community, and find the kinds of benefits I have found. Good luck to everyone who is working through the programme, stay...

I cannot believe I am writing in the success stories section of this forum. I never thought I was going to get better and I have. When I was using the program I read this subforum diligently, hoping I would find something that would keep me going or that would give me more ideas on how to...

Thank you for this Canada Mike and North Star, I will remember your words when Each time I start to worry.

Hi Abbo, Thank you for your message. I felt really touched that you write this to me. I a, starting penventing! I had a go yesterday and it felt good. I really identify with your comments about reading and researching constantly to make sure I haven't missed something, and that I am doing the...

Thank you for this Abbo. I have been repeating your affirmations almost constantly over the last 24 hours and it has really helped. I hope that this will become part of my repertoire of things to use to manage the fear. I feel that different days need different tricks!

I must have read this thread at least ten times. I am so grateful it is here for those darker moments, which inevitably appear from time to time. So thank you for putting this up.

Ironically, I did the... feel the fear and do it anyway and am now very sore! eek. I am staying calm. But fed up! I am reminding myself about outcome independance... This process really is cyclical for me... progress, plateau, step back, progress, plateau, step back etc. Hope you are both doing...

Hi... i will try the smoke method. The physical activity method is very scary I agree! Thats why I can do it sometimes and not at others. Good luck! x

Hi Mellie and Walt, This thread is really interesting. I have been trying to think about my techniques and Aha! moments ( i really like that idea). I am not sure what mine are specifically. I will definitely be using smiling and laughing in the future as this sounds useful and enjoyable. As for...

p.s have you seen the forum post.... Understanding and Overcoming Fear?? I just read it and it was really interesting, with tips about managing TMS fears.

Hi Billiewells, I am really sorry that you have been feeling so anxious. I have had panic attacks and anxiety in the past (and have been feeling much more anxiety since working on my TMS) and so know how bad it can feel. Are there any mindfulness/meditation recordings that help you? The...
