Hello Clareo, and welcome to the Forums. As 'one of the crew' I thought I would drop by here and say thankyou for introducing yourself and for providing some helpful advice to other readers who may be experiencing the problems associated with TMJ disorders.
I'm sorry that you experience the often painful disorder of TMJ, but very pleased to read that you have found relief through pressure point massaging. I hope others who are reading this will google it and find out more, and that they will find relief from it too.
Clareo, you mention that you have bipolar type 2 and you also spoke of recent memories of trauma, which led to your TMJ. Would you like to discuss either of these issues further?
I have been diagnosed with PTSD as a result of trauma I experienced some years ago. So I experience all the typical symptoms of ptsd, namely high anxiety, frequent depression and also OCD.
Although I do not have bipolar, and nor do I have any real knowledge of it, there are other members here who do. So if you would like to talk about any of this with anybody, please feel free to do so.
You too stay strong, and its very true that pausing to reflect does indeed show a lot of strength.
I am interested in hearing more from you, so I really hope you will post again. The forums are secure and are moderated to ensure your safety and anonymity. And the members are a non-judgemental, understanding and supportive bunch. So please feel that you can speak opening and honestly here any time you'd like to.
Until next time.
Taurus
