Sam's TMS Journey

"I thought about suicide every day before TMS. I haven’t thought about it since. It’s a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I almost can’t believe it. Everything has changed — the way I look at things, how I act. I spend my energy on other things, not on just trying to keep myself alive. It’s indescribable."
