New here and trying to escape pain, obsession and despair

Thank you I may fall, but I'll get back up.

When I reach the point where I am no longer interested in what I have to offer me...than I am totally free, open and the pain goes away.[/QUOTE]

Wow, Baseball65! This was an ah ha for me! Thank you!

 

My pain journey is fascinating in how the pain jumps around. Friday was my right neck and trap. Sunday was my right neck and trap. This morning it was my lower back, and now it's a spot I've experienced in the past on my upper bicep that hurts today. Normally I would be panicking, upset and catastrophizing, but I am looking at it from the point of, "What am I feeling emotionally?"

 

Excellent! Plus, we always get all excited when our symptoms move around because it means we are putting our TMS brain on the run. It’s trying different tactics to scare you because it knows you’re not believing it anymore. That’s one of the first signs of getting better.
