Wow, wow, wow! After I read this and saw that date (3+ years ago), I figured it must be a pinned post. It's that good! Thank you so much for posting this, it resonated more than I can even say. I've been meditating recently and it really has opened my eyes to the crazy things my mind is doing on...

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It sounds like you were able to overcome quite a lot and it was nice to read about each step of your process. I definitely found some pieces that I will try to use in dealing with my own issues.

Reading this post just helped me to have a good cry, thank you! I've a very emotional person deep down, but am constantly trying to hide it because I'm afraid of what people will think. I learned that from my mother. Like you, I've have been trying (slowly) to get more comfortable with crying...

Thank you so so much for this resource!! I've enjoyed every day of it. It has helped me to drastically reduce my pain level, confront many long-held fears, and has really just given me a new perspective on my life. It's been invaluable and has hit me harder and deeper than Dr. Sarno's work that...

Using that scene from the Matrix is fucking brilliant. It totally helps me to visualize each fear thought as a bullet heading directly towards me. Those bullets have been hitting me constantly and doing damage. But, it's all an illusion. I have the power to stop it all and to ignore those...

I am absolutely terrified by the amount of anxious and fearful thoughts I am observing in myself since doing this lesson earlier today. Doesn't help that I'm in the midst of a (likely TMS-related) migraine, but it's definitely striking a chord with me. I just hope that the coming lessons will...

Thank you so much for posting this. I don't have much to add, but can absolutely relate to all that you wrote, especially the part about feeling hate/resentment and not wanting to express it. Or not knowing how to express it without feeling like a bad parent or a bad person. I feel that on a...

The pain you describe (bilateral wrist pain, ulnar side) is exactly what I experienced for over a year before finding Dr. Sarno and the TMS diagnosis. I'm a programmer (also a musician and a casual gamer), so I use my hands a lot. I was initially diagnosed with tendonitis and sent to physical...

@Balsa11 Yes, though it wasn't discovered until later. When I was in my early 30s, I had a TIA (stroke-like symptoms without the long term effects) and was sent to a neurologist who ordered a ton of tests. One of the tests found a hole in my heart which they felt was a likely cause of the stroke...

Hi Barbara, welcome! I'm new here too, but I've already been encouraged by what a wonderful and kind community this is. It's great to find a group of people that can really relate to what I'm going through more than anyone in my personal life. It's encouraging and has filled me with a new sense...

I think I discovered one of the key events in my life that is causing my TMS pain. Bruce's success story (https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/my-story-life-with-out-papa.138/ (My Story: Life with/out Papa)) was on the homepage this morning and as I read how a key traumatic incident early in...

Thanks so much for posting your experience! It's very encouraging to read about your success with similar pains to my own - wrist, neck, and shoulders. I think I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel and your post definitely helps. I also love your final quote/sentence - "The way...

Thanks for your note. I've definitely been experiencing the ups and downs of increased anxiety in the midst of my body feeling better pain-wise. Good to know that's part of the process. And thanks too for your recommendation to look at the Success Stories of others. I've already found couple...

I found Dr. Sarno 3 weeks ago when I finally ordered the Mindbody book. I devoured the book in a few days and finally had something to explain all that I've been going through for the past several years. I had long had a suspicion that the pain I was experiencing was more that just physical. But...
