Hi guys, I just finished day 13 but if I was doing this daily i would be done by now! I know it's not a race and I'm doing what I can but this work is HARD. When I sit at the computer to do the work in the am I get a pain in my shoulder that immediately goes away when i'm done with the...

HI! Good for you. That sounds so scary and I'm praying for your speedy recovery with support from your family and this forum. Lately i've been thinking that support groups are MY answer to so much of my emotional issues. The caring and concern we're able to give to each other is so valuable to...

good for you for finding this forum! My suggestion is to do the program and uncovered the emotions. i'm still in pain from my last episode and i'm also trying not to lose hope: but I KNOW i have TMS and have known it from the moment someone told me about it. When I get on the forum in the...

I do this too: but about people sometimes. it is obsessive. and it makes no rational sense. I'm currently obsessed with a love interest (in my mind, not like in reality stalking them) and their disinterest/sudden interest triggers me, and I obsess more. Like following a dangling carrot. It's...

i too am on day 10. I'm dealing with raging daddy issues that have come and gone so many times in my life. He's having a surgery this weekend. After he got ill at the beginning of january my pain symptoms came raging back after being dormant quite a while. They've stuck around so I decided to do...

I totally hear you!!!! I have put up boundries with people at GREAT expense to my relationships, meaning they freaked out and went ballistic. It was very painful to bear the brunt of their pain - their frustration - which of course has nothing to do with me at those high levels. That is THEIR...

Its so weird how some concepts are simple, but inspired. I was about to ask the forum how I can derive more patience with myself regarding all things: pain, but also my inconsistencies and frustrations with myself and those around me. I had the inspired thought: put some love into it. (I was...

By the way I REALLY appreciate this you are so right! Too many self help things makes me harried. I have put down the 12steps for awhile, and I’m not in therapy right now, and have put the acupuncture to once a month, lol and only one massage/chirp a month. Dang!!!! That’s a lot of stuff and I...

Rain these are brilliant suggestions!! As usual this community is an amazing resource. Retraining my brain is a minute by minute thing and really hard (and annoying) but what a better life I could live if I could succeed! Lately I’ve been practicing the ancient TMS art of calling out on myself...

hi guys! I'm in an unusually big band sometimes up to 30 people! Many of these people are my dear friends; but a couple of rotten tomatoes can spoil the pot. Backstory: my best friend moved back to town, learned an instrument and joined the band. This was a friend of over 15 years! Idk what...

Thanks this is so cool thank you- all these posts are so helpful

Ya'll i've been asked this question from several therapists over the years. It's always been a huge stumbling block. As someone who does yoga every week for 18 years, and been in tons of therapy, practices a 12 step recovery program...and does tons of introspection:::: I NEVER KNOW WHAT THE...
