I have tried journaling before but was doing it to make symptoms go away I suppose. Can I write about how I feel about the symptoms or does it have to be other stuff?

Yes I’m really feeling the side effects from the SSRI - it’s mostly the detached, unreal feeling that is bothering me to be honest. Plus the increased dizziness which is very unhelpful! I’ve felt this way for 5 years and I’m losing hope that I can turn the ship around so to speak. I suppose...

I’m also completely addicted to seeking reassurance through google, all kinds of forums and anxiety websites including this one :(

Ok I am going to summarise everything here for myself as much as anyone else because I really need to a draw a line in the sand so that I can move on and do the tms work. I had an odd lightheaded feeling for many years after experiencing some personal stress. I managed to continue working...

God how I wish I could do this. I lived alongside my symptoms quite peacefully for a long time and then the concept of tms threw me into a tailspin and I fear everything more than ever. I must be the only person this has happened to as everyone else seems to get better once they learn of tms.

I suppose I think “well I don’t just have tms I have anxiety too and ocd, so I can’t just get on with my life”

I’ve just never made any progress with “TMS work” I just seem to end up overthinking everything and worrying about my symptoms - it doesn’t help that I’ve been diagnosed with ocd and health anxiety among other things. I just feel like I’m in and endless loop of symptoms and anxiety

@Booble are you a therapist? I need a mentor like you!

Thanks for the replies. I don’t want to seem like I’m not grateful I’m just so tired of it all and don’t know how to get back to feeling “myself” again. I am so lost. I could deal with just dizziness or pain or anxiety or ocd but ALL OF THEM at the same time is just… soul destroying. I am sick...

@RogueWave @Hillbilly @Dorado @steveo

On life, on myself, on TMS healing which has brought me more confusion and pain than anything. I know I’m the exception but I can’t get my head around this stuff and my symptoms / anxiety are becoming too much to live with. Endlessly trying to work out what is going on, reading forums...

Forget journaling unless it’s taking your mind off your symptoms sufficiently to distract you. I’ve learned through bitter experience that tms is basically about doing ANYTHING OTHER THAN THINKING ABOUT/FEARING YOUR PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS. Also get what you need and get off this forum!

This sounds like me @MedicineWithin - so much information about tms and healing that I’m overwhelmed all day every day

@ So I do “nothing” and get on with life AKA what I was doing BEFORE I found this forum and started obsessing over healing and journaling and meditating and identifying repressed emotions And became more focused on my dizziness and anxiety which was never an issue to begin with? That’s a big...
