I feel that most, if not all, of the bad stuff that happened me in the past was my fault. I mean, I know, intellectually, that it wasn't and I was only a child. But emotionally I still feel it was my fault somehow. My question is: how do I change that feeling and that sense of responsibility...

Hi Lilibet, thanks for your support for my difficulties. I have just read your post for today. I too avoid the work too. I tell myself I'm ok, I don't really need to do the SEP today. But that eventually comes back to bite me. Now I'm having an allergic rhinitis attack. That's the TMS...

The question to ponder today is about who I might be hiding my emotions from and why. The answer is simple, mostly I hide my emotions from my parents because I really don't believe they care. They are both textbook narcissistic personality disorder and selfish. I was never allowed to express my...

So, I'm on day 8 and my original allergic rhinitis has gone completely. My eczema has now mostly cleared up from my chest area, but the skin issues are moving around and I can't seem to figure out what's the root cause. They are also intensifying and it's getting harder to pay them no heed. Are...

Maria, I'm pretty new to this issue and to this site. My issues have almost vanished, even though I was skeptical at first! Please try to have faith and I think you will see an improvement! Good luck.

Thanks for your advice. I think I definitely have been trying to force it recently. I just want it gone because I've been living with it for so long. And I'm trying so hard, but it just takes so much time. But my allergic rhinitis has cleared up, that's a start I guess. I just stopped taking...

Today, while writing my lists I realized that the majority of my past traumatic experiences were from only a few years ago. There are only a few from my childhood. While I know there are many and I am quite hurt from childhood experiences, I cannot seem to pinpoint them. I cannot help but think...

I've been reading this thread for a little while. I put up quite a long self intro the other day, having just found this site. The reason I posted immediately is because after reading only a little of Dr. Sarno's book The Divided Mind, I have taken only 2 allergy pills in an entire week. The...
