I have always known that self critism is a personality trait of mine but I've never realised how extreme it was. I don't exagerate when I say that I question everything I do and say throughout the whole day. I have constant thoughts of ' why am I so strange' 'why can't I speak up' 'why can't I...

My overthinking is definitely a cause of my problems and makes it really hard to believe the TMS diagnosis fully although I fit so many of the personality traits and it explains so many of my symptoms. I have found the program very good so far but I must admit my personality makes me become...

Guest - it really is frustrating to think of all theses years fighting my addiction without truly understanding it. Things are starting to piece together in my mind now and although I don't have all the answers yet I truly believe I can see where I want to go now. Thanks for the info and I will...

I am very interested in your post about pornography addiction. I am 31 now and have battled pornography addiction throughout my adult life - think it started in my early teens. I have never thought of it in relation to my TMS but looking at it now it certainly could have been used as a...

This is my second attempt of the Structual Education Programme. I've had some positive breakthroughs's but still struggling to fully believe (my over thinking personality doesn't help with this!) Over the last 30 years I have suffered many conditions which I now believe to be TMS related. 1.Shin...

Thanks for your reply. One other person I work with has hand and wrist pain - his is a lot worse than mine although he has worked there longer. What pushes me towards the TMS diagnosis is he told me about his carpal tunnel symptoms when I had mild hand pain. I made the mistake of reading up...

I have been experiencing pain/numbness/tingling in my hands and wrist for 6 months. Have recently been to hospital and diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. I have become very obsessive about my symptoms and I am thinking/worrying about them 24 hours a day. While researching carpal tunnel...
