Man, this really reminds me of me. I was pretty preoccupied with worrying about how I was going to fall behind, and I wouldn't recover in time enough for me to hit different life milestones and whatnot. I really empathize with you on this. If you can learn to feel the grief (and yes, even anger...

I think EMDR helped me as well to recover. I think I would have made it out of TMS without it, and I would say reading Sarno books coupled with the SEP on this wiki helped me the most, but I'm also glad I did EMDR as I had never done any work with a therapist in my life before, and it taught me...

Hey everyone, I used to have major back pain that prevented me from doing pretty much anything in life. Realizing it was TMS cured that pain that had lasted two years! I have been close to posting on the success stories subforum, but I've had a lingering hand injury that has prevented me from...

It's funny timing that today's activity had to do with other TMS symptoms showing up. Before my back pain, I would get migraines decently frequently. For the two years I had really bad back pain, I only had one migraine that I can remember. In the last 17 days (now that I have been feeling maybe...

Day 2 was 27 days ago for me now, and I am remembering the goals I set as part of the program commitment. My first goal was that I was going to go running by June 10th. It felt crazy to set that goal for only 4 weeks later, but here I am and I went on a run this morning! Only added a little to...

I'd say when I feel back pain, trying to think of how I might be stressed, or thinking of any sources of repressed rage. I can try doing that with the migraine then, it just seems like once I get that visual aura, it seems pretty impossible to stop the pain. Also journaling has helped with back...

Hey guys, Kevin here. (26M) My horrible back pain is almost gone now which is amazing. Growing up, I dealt with migraines, especially when I was like 15. My doctor just chalked it up to puberty, and I guess that might have been true, as it went from like once every week or two to more like every...

Wow, very well-written post! Thanks for the vulnerability and honesty, what you said about being a dad really resonates with me; I've thought about how I won't be able to play catch with my future son, etc. But I'm hoping I'm on the same healing path as you! I was recovering pretty quickly, but...

Hey everyone, I have been making amazing progress in the last month or so (I'd say I'm 80% better), I can go on hikes, sit up in any chair for a long time, it's great! Yesterday, I was at an activity where people were playing some casual volleyball and spikeball. I actually decided to join in...

Nice! Yeah, I have found that sometimes I can tell I don't want to do something out of habit because of how long my pain has persisted. But now, when I do something anyway, it turns out that the symptoms get better instead of worse like they used to. It feels counterintuitive, but I can't deny...
