Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes you’re right, it’s definitely time to investigate surpressed emotions. And it’s good to get confirmed my suspicion that anger over my symptoms is the wrong focus. I’m starting the SEP now and will continue through with it.

So I’ve recovered from a bunch of TMS-symptoms throughout the years, but I’m still somewhat caught in the symptom imperative so I’m clearly not completely out of the woods yet. That said, the intensity of the symptoms are not as high as before, and I’ve been able to take a lot of my life back...

Thanks a lot for your very uplifting post. Yes I think journaling is the key. I'm luckily back to normal when it comes to pooping now haha, but my anxiety has jumped to other areas so I guess there may be some surpressed feelings that are driving this symptome imperative pattern. Luckily the...

Yes not my regular pain. But I've had a lot of eczema and insomnia for like a year and I'm starting to wonder if that was all tms as well, cause the anxiety started again when those issues got better. And those issues created a lot of the same bad emotions and obsessions like the anxiety and...

Hey. Thanks a lot for taking your time to reply to me. Yes you're right that fear is having me real hard now. Just the tought of the brain being able to make my worst fears into reality is extremely scary. And I guess people are different but for me hearing about someone else being stuck in the...

Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes I think you're right that I fell back into the tms trap again. I got complacent I guess since I haven't had symptoms for a while. Will start doing the SEP again. Again thanks a lot.

I'm a 32 year old male and I've had tms pretty much my whole life in various manifestations, but it wasn't until a couple of years ago when dealing with pelvic pain I figured out that it was all just tms after coming across "Healing Back Pain" and later this forum. I applied the...

@Baseball65 Thank you so much. That gives me hope that there actually is a way out of this mess. Through all my years of physical pain and weird symptoms I always thought that if I would just be able to get rid of the pain my life would be good. So I got a little shocked and demotivated when...

Thank you for your answer. So how do you do this? By just countering the catastrophic thinking with outcome independence and logic over and over again and then with time the attacks will lessen in strength and frequency as you're not giving them the fuel they need anymore?

So throughout the past months I have slowly been able to get rid of most of my pain symptoms using tms methods. However, the pain symptoms have gotten replaced by horrible health anxiety regarding other health conditions and it honestly almost feels worse than the previous pain. I know the...

I'm curious if hand-dominance can give a clue about the brain structure and behavior of people prone to getting tms compared to people that are not. If for example it turns out that left-handed people are over-represented it can give some clues by looking at how the brain of a typical...
