Hi @stevow7 , I just want to begin by saying I understand how consuming and exhausting the Obsession-Compulsion cycle is. Your not alone, and your not crazy. You can get better and will get better if you try your best to help yourself. Now, take a deep breath and put on a smile (yes, do it) and...

Thankyou Jan for your honesty and insight. Interesting that you recognised an ocd pattern since I do struggle with it, I just didn't realise it was so obvious. I realise this forum isn't meant as a cushion when things get hard but I appreciate everyones patience for newbies regardless.

Thanks

Yes I am looking for a problem your right, just because I feel it's impossible to not have hurt myself. It's the wrong thing to do but I can't help myself . My knee is sore and can't do too much with it but can walk relatively pain free and climb stairs with some difficulty. I guess I should...

Context: (I have TMS currently for other reasons). I was at the beach and there was a tall pier very far out with murky water. I cannonballed in and immediately landed on the sand with only about 1.5m of water to break my fall. I felt fine after but two days later and my left inner knee is very...

I read an article about the joint pain from chikungunya virus. It states 20-60% of people experience years long if not permanent joint pain after the virus has been overcome or the infection is over. They don't know how but suspect it has something to do with RNA information being retained in...

Not saying you are egotistical or anything, I don't know anything about you! Just useful if people pleaser doesn't fit your personality.

Taking it personally does not always mean you are a people pleaser or goodist, it is often directly related to the ego. The stronger or larger the ego, the more vulnerable someone is to criticism or slights. A self inflated person is a fragile person, like a piece of expensive jewellery. Look...

Yes haha it definitely helps and I definitely think we are all a bit Cray Cray on this forum, that's why we're here right? I think by "searching for problems" I am missing the door inside. I used one of the prompts you suggested and it was like a rope unravelling my brain found its way to some...

I've definitely felt myself get carried away by emotions before but the concious searching for problems feels as though I'm not actually going to the subconscious where my problems reside. As in, if I right about anything I like I won't write about my problems because I don't like to haha. But...

Thank you for your response it was enlightening and comforting. I've been journalling a lot recently but have begun to dislike it. I know it's my brain willing me not to go to those dark places in my mind but it feels as though I also can't process things. Like even when I write or journal I...

I have had RSI, tendonitis and nerve pain in both hands for years. It was TMS. Gradually started in my right wrist from "unergonomic computer use" and as soon as I switched hands, went to my left one as well. BTW it can affect anyone (began when I was a healthy but depressed 17) Went the usual...

Ive seen you on this forum before @learningmore, reciting orthodox physical therapy techniques we've all heard before; instilling fear in those who know no better. "people who think their tendonitis is TMS did not actually have tendonitis", so the symptoms and diagnosis of tendonitis made by the...
