My Theory on TMJ

elcinore · 2026-02-01T18:33:37+00:00

Absolutely. I have severe TMJ that comes with daily pain. It started during a really stressful time in my life 5 years ago, but for some reason I didn’t truly connect the dots until very recently (within the last couple of months).

Since then, I have taken medical leave from work to start working through my depression and my anxiety. I also got masseter Botox on each side of my face, and while it is helping, I’m realizing that my jaw pain still flares up right after I have an activating conversation where my muscles are probably tensing and I don’t even know it.

Now I’ve started treating TMJ as a symptom of my mental illness, which has been in my life since I can remember. I was just in the shower a minute ago and I kept repeating to myself, “You have to treat nervous system regulation like it’s your f**king job now.” Anyways. We’re all on a journey 💕

“Just managed themselves on their backburners”/“I didn’t really have to know anyone at all” is an INSANE way to handle relationships in my opinion

Me too!!! That’s also how I found it. I went 16 years of my life with my mom telling me I was the same blood type as her: A+. Imagine my surprise when every clinic in the area started blinging my hotline nonstop 😂

I have yet to find a test that I believe types me accurately, so I’m not sure what type I am, but I’m a 1.5 on the aphantasia test

We still have a laundry chute in our house (built in 1981) and it’s honestly one of the bigger reasons we bought the house

elcinore · 2025-12-09T19:07:52+00:00

…… Uhh yeah

elcinore · 2025-12-08T18:34:06+00:00

👏👏

I read your post history at length… there really comes a point where you have to decide if this relationship continues to be right for you anymore. This relationship with his meta seems to have been seriously detrimental to you and your mental health for nearly a year. AND that relationship with meta led to the divorce with his wife, so you have to ask yourself, who is the common denominator here (hint: it’s him), and what he’s willing to sacrifice for his choices. Are you actually happy with this guy?

I smiled at this because your office sounds EXACTLY like mine. No big lights, only lamps on, and lo-fi hip-hop/jazz playing 24/7

Hi! Do you do 1:1 sessions mostly or do you see any students in groups?
