Day 16- I have told several people about TMS and my specific symptoms and how quickly my main symptom (bladder) went away but how other symptoms have flared up. They have had mediocre responses. They think it's a great idea for me and are happy it's working for me, but they don't see that they...

Day 10-Who am i

I still repress my emotions in front of my mother. As a child, she would yell at me when I cried or fought with my sisters or brother. Sometimes she would even physically abuse me. I mostly remember her slapping, grabbing/jerking, or spanking me. I think the worst damage was her somehow "making"...

@Joanne39 Keep at it! You have been through a lot, and you have been taught it's not okay to express how you feel about it. Now you can express it. I'm not saying it's easy because it's NOT, but you can do this!! Sending prayers!! ❤️

I did the meditation exercise, and I had trouble staying still and concentrating on my body and breath, but when I finished, I realized that the headache that came up while I was journaling on a past traumatic event had gone away!

Day 3-The last time I exercised- I jogged at the gym yesterday. I just started back, so I'm taking it more slowly than I was a few months ago, but I still feel energized and upbeat.

I was seeing a PCP who was really into MBS/TMS, and he helped me work through a lot of symptoms, so I'm already convinced I have TMS. I was dealing with all-over body aches and fatigue, specifically back pain, and had been diagnosed with migraines and fibromyalgia but treated unsuccessfully...
