I don't have an answer for you. I too get very sore from exercise and I'm terrified of pain. I don't like exercise. period. :-( Following this thread to see what others have to say...

My default thoughts are usually "There is something wrong with me", "I'm completely exhausted", "I hate my life", "I want to go home" When ever I feel this thought coming up, I strongly tell myself "There is nothing wrong with me", "I'm completely fine right now", "I'm perfectly ok with my...

I start thinking and my mind starts racing sometimes before I go to bed, sometimes if I wake up in the middle of the night. One night, I asked my mind, "What are you running away from? What are you racing away from?" And I realised that there was indeed something extremely uncomfortable that I...

I can relate to this so much. I took to taking breaks between days. I do a little bit of required reading and think about what to journal and let it percolate for a few days. Then when I feel ready, I write and it has been really helpful. I must have taken over 50 days to complete the 42 day...

I too suffered from Chronic fatigue. I have noticed that the more I journal and release emotions, the lighter I feel and I'm not so exhausted anymore. Kind of like I've been carrying a 100 kilo load on my shoulders and I'm dropping a few kilos here and there. It makes a lot of different to...

One thing that helped me is doing it at home when no one is around. Because sometimes flood gates open and you will cry like you have never before. I feel uncomfortable letting anyone see me in that state. I'm able to talk about it with my husband later and I still tear up, but nothing like the...

I read healing back pain 5 years ago, and read the divided mind more recently. I understood the philosophy, but struggled to apply it to find relief. I stumbled upon the SEP by chance and I gave it my 100%. It was miraculous. The journaling and question of the day are incredible. It helped me...

I also read the books, but struggled on what to do. Then I tried the SEP program. Try it. It gives you daily reading and daily prompts for journaling and teaches you how to journal. Once you get the hang of journaling, it will be like flood gates will open and you will begin feeling things you...

Today's journaling was about how current stresses are keeping me in pain. As I was writing, I first realised that I'm a control freak and I need to control the outcome of everything. Writing further, revealed that the need for control comes from fear of abandonment. This part - I already knew...

I was on antidepressants but they gave me severe cough, so I had to give them up. I used a medication called vibrionics, which helped my anxiety and depression quite a bit. That medicine is supposed to normalise the vibrations of our body. It helped me quite a bit. But now I've stopped all...

See, I'm struggling with exactly this. On sunday, I took my daughter for a dance rehearsal. I planned to sit and watch, but since no other mums were able to get the girls to practise, I jumped in, made changes to the dance sequence, practised with them. I was on my feet, bending, doing things I...

Thanks @birdsetfree . As soon as I posted this about anxiety, my anxiety has gone down considerably, but my hip pain, which was gone flared up. How long will this merry go round last? It is getting silly now. I'm not afraid, I'm just fed up. It needs to make up its mind and decide to stay in one...

I have been doing this program religiously and I noticed a 95% reduction in pain and a 100% increase in anxiety. My heart is beating fast and I'm getting very overwhelmed for everything. I'm even getting stressed out during sleep. I'm feeling so much stress. Is anxiety another form of TMS...
