Original


Being given a diagnosis of TM can be life changing and may cause anxiety and depression. I would advise surrounding yourself with positive people and try to live your life as normally as possible. If work is no longer possible then try to follow hobbies and pastimes, but try to get out and be with other people as much as you can.

My own hobbies are crochet, knitting and patchwork, I try to get to my knit and better sessions as much as possible. I use a mobility scooter to get there although I have plenty of offers of lifts if the weathers bad for example. Keep positive, be as independent as you can but don't be shy about asking for help.

Invite friends round for a cuppa and a chat, most people will ask "is there anything I can do?" Well say "yes" or if there isn't ask if you can call them if you need a lift to the doctors or will they take you to the supermarket next time they are going....build a support network around you.

Finally I would advise practicing mindfulness and meditation. Be grateful for the things you have and learn to accept the 'new you'. Again, joining in a group is beneficial.
