Thank you, this has been really helpful! Everytime I feel a sensation in my ankle, I've started assigning it as a "blue tingling sensation" now instead of the usual "oh shit here comes the pain". Eliminating the fear of the pain seems to be the key. I've put so much pressure on myself to be...

The pain has gotten really bad now. My hand injury is on the mend and now I've got foot pain lol. I'm 90 percent sure it's TMS since I have a history of Achilles Tendonitis and it usually goes away on its own without any treatment. I've been stressed lately, because football season is...

Achilles tendonitis back with a vengeance! I took a pretty bad fall last night while refereeing a football game and fell on my hand. I thought for sure it was broken, and went throw some serious spiraling because I was really looking forward to this football season. Luckily, I only ruptured a...

Lol yeah the AI is programmed to be that way, I try not to rely on it too much, but i just found it funny that I think reading that one sentence caused me to get an uptick in pain

Hello: I (36M) run and lift weights pretty regularly. I also live a pretty active life overall. For the better part of 6 months or so probably I have had a constant nagging pain in my left achilles. It's not bad enough to be debilitating or anything, but just enough to be annoying. I have...

I got Chat GPT to rewrite the reminders for me about acid reflux lol 12 Reminders for Healing Acid Reflux (TMS Perspective) 1. My acid reflux is a result of TMS—a mind-body condition—not a permanent physical defect. 2. The burning and discomfort are caused by nerve and muscle tension, not...

Welp TMS is back with a vengeance after my wedding day. Leaving today for our honeymoon in Italy. I have a hemorrhoid and had the worst acid reflux attack of my life last night. All you can do is laugh lol. I'm sure all the stress, anxiety, constant social interactions, alcohol, and sleep...

Yeah, as I mentioned me and alcohol have had an interesting relationship over the years. I was absolutely a problem drinker in my 20's. I would drink to black out way too much. But now that I have worked on myself and improved my self confidence, I have realized that I was using alcohol to...

Sorry to hear about your cat! I have two cats of my own. Words can definitely be triggers, as I recall reading from Steve O's book. I have not even heard of EMDR. Is that something I could schedule with a therapist? I have started "therapy" by talking things out with a licensed therapist...

FYI, the intense feelings of guilt seem to have subsided for the most part. But now my acid reflux is flaring up. Gotta love it lol

Yes, I've been doing a guided meditation that has really helped me focus on feeling emotions and not being afraid of them coming up. But once the mediation is over, its time to move on to the rest of my day. If the feelings come up naturally throughout the day, I allow them. Facing them seems...

Nice, I've listened to him on Joe Rogan's podcast before! I'll add the audiobook to my queue. And yeah you hit on another good point. Most of my childhood trauma was from extremely low self confidence which I have improved drastically, but still deal with at times. Any little thing can be an...

Also very good points. I was consciously stressing out before the bachelor party about being the center of attention and being expected to do things and what not. The "thing" point is also good. What if my "id" actually really liked all of the partying and women and now its angry that I'm...
