Hi All: I had intended to write today about my experience talking with Alan on Saturday. Still so grateful. I had a huge melt-down this morning. I don't have them often, but was pushed over the edge. I think that with all the notes I took during my chat with Alan, thinking it over, and...

Thank you yb44: I love what you've said here about getting up the nerve to exercise again. I tried a long time ago, before I knew about TMS. I was in agony for many days. So this has kept me from trying again. Plus there is the time issue...... I'll try and write more today about what I...

Thank you Forest, Alan, and MorComm: This actually makes sense to me. I don't know how I got here really, because I feel I'm a sensitive person. I am empathic as well. But this...: ....makes a lot of sense to me. I have tried to get in touch with "the bully" but perhaps I should change...

Thank you all for your kind welcome. Not sure where to go from here. I will read the post Forest.

I have back pain and am afraid I will hurt myself more if I exercise. It's one of the things Dr. Sarno suggests and I simply don't want to do it. Plus I run around enough as it is. I am running from place to place. I see this as a stumbling block for me. I would like to exercise, but am still...

Wow! You have gotten a lot from Monte Hueftle! I read his book, but maybe listening to it would be better. You have such a good attitude. I will try that too. Thank you.

I've been reading everyone's posts for a long time. I haven't signed up till now because I feel my story is a tough one and I don't want to bother people. TMS/PPD trait? My story is kind of involved, but if I don't post, I figure I'll never receive any help. I have really bad lower back pain...
