I get the parent thing. I had a mother who had a lot of her own personal issues and was a very dominant personality (think the mother on The Bear but turned up). I grew up in a very cold household - no hugs or signs of affection - and no support or compliments. It was always comparison (why...

Thanks so much. As much as I want to tackle this, I do battle with bouts of "laziness" and procrastination. I did have a therapist tell me that she noticed I had resistance to things. I beginning to wonder if my ADHD is really just TMS. My first response on a lot of things have been "I can't" as...

Thanks! That's really great advice and seems something that is much easier for me to build in and increase in my habits.

Inpatient for sure. Some is frustration because things like the breathing and/or mediation I don't know if I'm doing it correctly (perfectionism) and I have this drive like I always need to be doing things on my "to do" list so sitting and breathing or mediation (my mind races and can't stay...

Because I'm not that creative with usernames. That was also 6 years ago when I wasn't totally sure about TMS and just delving in. Now, anytime I get pain, I go with TMS first. However, I have a couple times ignored real injuries with that approach. I'm not attached with pain. I sometimes feel...

I will say that I'm not the best at being in tune with emotion and can only recognize it when symptoms increase. I tried some of those soothing techniques in the beginning of my journey but they usually made me feel inpatient and angry. I have a really hard time sitting still. I do the...

In 2014 my TMS symptoms really started after a series of concussions. The main symptoms I had was a weird head pressure and a feeling on pins and needles around my head, as well as brain fog and processing issues. Then in 2016 I started having numb and tingling feet. I began searching for...

So I have been putting off posting for awhile. It seems like I have had trouble starting certain things and I don’t know why. For example, I had been playing basketball a lot but then I had real injuries to both my ankle and my hand and had to stop for about 3 months. Ever since, I have been...

I think my TMS first started about 5 years ago. I had some concussions and then had weird head tingling, vision problems, and headaches. I would get concussion symptoms if even a pice of paper grazed my head. It then moved to some stomach issues, and finally switched to weird nerve sensations in...

Thank you birdsetfree for all the advice! I really appreciate you taking time to read it and answer all the questions. I keep reassuring myself and trying to ignore but sometimes it just seems like it won't end. I get frustrated because some people just read Sarno's book and heal, but I have...

Sorry about the jumbled mess of my posting. I have been thinking about posting for a month or so but haven't gotten around to organizing my thoughts so here it is. Quick history of my TMS: You can see the full story in my first posting. 2014 – Had 3 concussions but then started getting head...
