Hello All, I am continually amazed at the quality of the books and resources I learn about on this forum. I just read this book and I found it to be really helpful. I just wanted to say thank you for recommending it! AC45

What a great article! This one is a keeper. And, yes, I see myself a little too much in this ;).

@andy64tms Thank you so much for such a thoughtful post. I read Hope and Help for your Nerves by Claire Weekes but it has been a while. This was a really thoughtful post and I am very grateful for it, thank you. It really helps to know that I am not alone in experiencing this. You remind me of...

Thank you @JanAtheCPA! I often feel that way as well - not doing enough. I always appreciate your words and thank you for taking the time to reply! -AC45

Hello, I think the hormonal fluctuations in perimenopause have impacted my ability to manage stress. I think this contributed to me coming down with anxiety for the first time in my mid-40s. Is it the only reason? I don’t think so. Does it impact your ability to deal? I think so. I’m taking...

Hello fellow TMSers, I have been in this odd pattern over the last 3 years where I feel / anxious / bad / sleep deprived at night. Then, after what is usually a difficult morning, I feel more or less ok and hopeful during the day. I feel like I am caught in a vicious loop. Has anyone else else...

Thank you so much for the reply. I always appreciate it when someone takes the time. Good guidance!

Hi fellow TMSers, I’ve healed from a lot of things (RSI, hip pain, knee pain, 80% of my anxiety, etc). So, there is much hope for us who believe in TMS. Insomnia has been the hardest thing to shake. I used to have sleep onset insomnia and now I have sleep maintenance insomnia. I know it is...

Hi Gazelle, I can relate. I felt like I was drowning too. Taking it in waves (as you are doing) is good. Also know that you have people here in this forum who will support you. AC45

Hello - My experience was very similar. I followed Dr. Sarno’s recovery program from the Divided Mind and I quickly became overwhelmed and I didn’t know what to do with all of this those feelings. I believe that we need psychodynamic methods (Freud / Jung / digging into the “why” as Sarno...
