wits end !!!

I really am at my wits end

My TMS journey started bout two and a half years ago

Dropfoot, tingling in feet, developed costochondritis

Read every TMS book

Journal daily

Spent thousands

Been told cos of historic chronic anxiety, isolation and apparent lack of purpose - although I would contest that one - I have every reason not to get better by TMS specialist

This has been unhelpful, I am now broke and agoraphobic and ,,,,, basically desperate


I need help but don't now what on earth to do next

I feel I have left no stone unturned but I want my life back - or at least 'a' life back

Enough of this

I can't bear to be the person who doesn't get well I want to be the one who does get well

Ideas?

 

Hi, Billiewells, I am so sorry that things are not well. Question for you: what have you done about your anxiety? I was quite desperate with my symptoms until I started focusing on anxiety. Dr. Claire Weekes pulled me out of dire straights when I thought I would not recover:

Then I took meditation classes for 6 months. Once i was able to sit for meditation for an hour, I noticed that the following day I was feeling better and was less fearful of my symptoms. It took me 2 years to get where i am. The range of psychological issues and variety of our emotional makeups make it hard to follow any specific prescriptions. It took me over a year to really, honestly, stop putting deadlines on my recovery. And only now, looking back, I realize how much desperate desire to recover quickly hampered my recovery.

Please, do not give up! One thing I learned - the most expensive treatments proved to be the least useful. And I tried some lavish ones, too, including a $450 per hour psychiatrist.
