Allow yourself to feel sad and grieve the loss of those things. If you don't, the grief will likely manifest as symptoms, one way or another. In your grief you are also hopefully envisioning a different future for yourself. I found I couldn't really feel much of my sadness over the decades of...

Thank you, each of you, for your detailed responses. This is all really helpful.

I haven't heard of Dan Buglios. But I'll check those videos out today. Thank you!!

I knew someone would ask that! Well, it's complicated to answer. I do lots of little things throughout the day, that are hard to explain. But I haven't done some of the standard things you'd expect, like journaling about what I'm feeling, that you were probably about to suggest! I've read a...

Hi all, I need some help figuring out how to ignore my chronic fatigue (CFS). With physical pain, I'm able to eliminate the pain in a matter of seconds usually, by ignoring the pain, not fearing it, not projecting that this is yet another new symptom I'll have to deal with, etc. I get pain in...

I wish I had time to give a longer reply. I would search the forum for others on here from Germany and write to them privately. Maybe you can create your own group. Also, maybe try making a rule for yourself to reduce the number of times per hour that you let yourself bend you knee. And...

I'm so sorry you're suffering so much. If you really are serious about giving up on life, you have to reach out to a therapist or local crisis line. You actually know a lot of what is causing the problem-your thinking about it. So, trust your instincts on that. I would just take a break from...

Thanks everyone, who has responded so far. Now I understand it better. And you've given me a lot of food for thought. And thanks, @JanAtheCPA for explaining that he had revised his thinking in 2006. I did not know that.

Hi All, I was wondering why there seem to be two different messages on here about TMS. Sarno says that you can be cured of it completely. And also the PPD website and recent study also say you can have a complete cure. So, I'm wondering where this idea comes from for some that it is...

Hi All, I don't use this site much, partly because I take on other people's symptoms when I read about them on here. So, I have to keep my use to a minimum. I have had CFS and other symptoms for almost 30 years, but realized about 5 years ago that it's TMS. I have been getting better...

I'm sorry, Plum. I didn't mean any disrespect to you or the other folks who have put so much effort into helping him. I'll take your message to heart.

This is really long, because I spent the other night reading the entire 30 page thread. Except for some of the unrelated posts. I still have more to say, but that's for another day. Hopefully, it will help you, Eskimo or someone else. I think, for me, part of the problem with this approach...
