I believe people can learn to live a happy life however the constant need to overcome and get up everyday to fight the same battle thought yesterday or 24 hours a day takes its toll emotionally it's really important to seek counseling some have found antidepressants have helped as well. I will say that having a support system is the most crucial piece and because of the lack of understanding of transverse myelitis many if not most don't get the support that they need from friends and family community even medical community. I found the public and a private group on Facebook that I communicate with members throughout my day everyday so that I feel the others can relate to me and what I'm going through so I can be inspired and encouraged and provide that theirs as well. I've discovered a research study that was recently published and there are two pages of just the authors who correlated on this Pacific report on all myelitis types of diseases knowledge is power and that power enables you to move forward to accept what is and therefore allows you to move forward emotionally from the devastation and the lost that you feel when you are diagnosed with transverse myelitis and suffer from its effects. Personally I have found that if I wake every morning and watch the sunrise and listen to The Birds and the squirrels and connect with nature it helps me to feel centered and positive so that I can persevere through my day and in many of my conversations with others they also use methods like this meditation has become incredibly important every day as well as music therapy. I discovered 432 Hertz tuning music to set myself a higher vibration therefore giving you a little bit more energy today to come back the effects from TM
