Claire Weekes.

Thank you so much. I've been having a really big anger week. To explain, i had to go on disability from my job, due to TMS, which i didnt know it was that at the time. Anyway i burned out on top of TMS, physically, mentally and spiritually, because of the job and my personal life. But i have...

OK i get this but how to you get rid of anger???? Or accept it and let it run its course. It seems no one can give a definite answer lol I feel really stuck with my anger as if it controls me how do i allow it, accept and let go? I'm so sick of reading books regarding TMS, self help, buddhism...

My question is this: when you realize you are angry, have done the journalling (ad nauseum), have had extensive therapy and now believe your back or body part is fine, how do you deal with the emotions? I am so angry all the time, i have been crying etc. Does this go away? I am accepting and not...

Hmm maybe i should go see him... Thanks for your update from your doctor visit. How do you feel now about it all? Like that you have "TMS" now and is it a relief?

How do you believe they are only thoughts...lol If i was burnt out in a job and i have anger and rage over my job and myself how can i just say these are thoughts. OMG i find this difficult but i am willing to understand and change. I want to get this.

Welcome. I hope you find solace here:)

Thanks for posting about this. Listening to her Pass Through Panic now (found on iTunes).

Yes very much so. I am realizing my depression, anxiety and chronic pain are because ive been over sensitized from a stressful period of time which burnt me out and because of that experience i go back and forth from body pain (different areas) to anxiety to being really sad and emotional. I am...

Yes what you wrote is completely me. I get back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, fascial tightness and then i looking the mirror and im hunched over, or my abs look weird and then my back is thin and flat. But days without pain my body looks lean, fit and bigger as if there is more air in them. I...

Thank you for honest words. As someone who is on disability you have given me hope.

Have you ever listened to or read Claire Weekes stuff? I just found it and its thought provoking and i feel her concept of the Second Fear is my TMS. Anyway let me know:)

I have been able to relax into the pain in Yoga class. I have had 2 classess where my body completely opened because i said ok just be gentle, accept your body, there is nothing wrong with it and let go. Then i started to have fun with yoga instead of it being a chore for my fitness or mental...

How did your visit go? Was the Doctor any help?

I used her affirmations when i was near suicide from my depression and chronic pain. Now i've branched off into Buddhism and yoga, meditation, but still use her daily affirmations on her website. Sometimes i wish i could flip how i see things. Just look at things from the positive perspective. I...
