Yes to what baseballs said, but I’d add that as TMSers, especially those with many relapses or long bouts of TMS, we develop what I’ve been calling a type of TMS PTSD - we can become so traumatized by the pain that later the slightest bodily discomfort can send us into panic mode. We are oversensitized and really become sort of hypochondriacs, to an extent. Take your example- you hadn’t been active in some time, do a 30 min exercise class, then are very worried about what’s going on in your body. A non-TMS PTSDer wouldn’t think twice about their body, they’d see it as a good thing from having worked out. This insight helped me tremendously in my recovery, I hope it speaks to you too.
With love,
Kevin ❤️
