Good advice above. Accept the fear, but know that you are safe. I like the affirmation "I feel afraid but I know I'm safe." Feelings are not always freely chosen or easy to change, but you can choose how you respond to them. In my experience, negative thoughts should be challenged but...

Try approaching the part of your subconscious mind that holds on to suffering with compassion and curiosity, rather than shouting at it. This part of you has a positive intention for you; try to discover it. Build a relationship with this part of yourself rather than trying to overpower it or...

No one "makes" you second guess. Everything is a choice. You control your thoughts.

You overcame your other symptoms, you can beat this, too. Remember, the subconscious mind is very creative and can create any symptom it thinks will get your attention. Many others have has pelvic area TMS pains, and recovered. Sounds like you are still angry at your ex-GF. And angry at...

My best guess is that persistent TMS is caused by deep self-loathing, and or unforgiveness. Did you have a traumatic childhood?

Yes, but it requires belief that you can heal, and that you deserve to heal.

Anti-depressants seem to work best for people for people who think they work. If you want to feel better, and believed pills can help you do that, they may help. Meds help some peolpe feel better; this temporary relief can be helpful at times. In my opinion, the idea is that depression is...

Everyone is unique, but it sure sounds like a type of TMS to me. The subconscious mind can create pretty much any symptom it wants via the autonomic nervous system. I'd say you have a pretty creative subconscious, which has gifted you a very effective distraction in the form of broad range of...

To resolve traumatic distress, you must face your fears. Let go of the idea that you have been through anything "too scary" to face. Blocking out rather than facing trauma will only cause more symptoms; Repression and avoidance are not viable long term strategies. What you resist, persists...

If your docs have eliminated something serious, you have little to lose by trying the TMS approach. The brain is powerful and tricky; it can create any symptom it can chooses. Of course, not everything is TMS. I know some people associate the cognitive symptoms you describe ( I call it "brain...

Sarno is truly a gift. Knowledge is the cure. Let go of the idea that your pain has a physical cause. Do you really need the adjustments any more than you think you do? I gave up chiros, inversion, physical therapy, injections, pills, etc. No regrets!

Different as this bout may feel, sure sounds like the same old TMs song and dance to me. TMS evolves, and becomes whatever you need it to be. Usually a more convincing distraction. What do you need a distraction from? Sarno didn't fix you up, he taught you that can fix yourself. That is likely...

Any change is good. More evidence it is TMS, not structural.

I'm sure it is; just ignore and accept it. Don't try so hard, you got take the pressure off and go slow.

You're getting good advice here. I also recommend Unlearn Your Pain and Great Pain Deception. Forget about the disc. Retrain your brain. I had good results doing Schubiner 28 day program from his book. I needed 8 weeks to do his 4 week plan, which he says is OK. I also read Sarno and...
