I went to yoga about a week ago, for the first time in a month. I really should’ve relaxed and backed off, but I didn’t. The next day I woke up with a migraine and some of the worst pain I’ve had in a long time. I knew I’d overextended my neck, by doing about a bajillion planks and down dogs. I...

It took me many years of sleeping with men to understand that I didn’t have to sleep with them. I know now, that if I enjoy a man’s company, or anyone’s company, that I can hang out with them and be friends with them without sleeping with them. If they wanted to sleep with me, I have started to...

Camera, Be gentle with yourself. I think that my lack of memory from my childhood, helped me to survive. I went from a childhood of what I thought was emotional, physical, and mental abuse, to drinking and using drugs. And, don’t forget about my promiscuity. I found that I could use sex as...

Hi, I have been clenching my teeth so badly the last two nights, that I wake up with horrible pain in my face and jaws. A friend was supposed to fly in two nights ago, who’s going to cat sit for me and build a front porch. He was having a bit too much fun and did not make his flight. I’m...

I think I was listen to a podcast with Alan Gordon. He said that for men, the two big triggers were getting married and having kids. I know for me, it brings a huge fear of commitment and huge feelings of abandonment. I think it maybe time to talk about the things that you don’t want to talk...

Purist, We become the best aspects of ourselves as we continue to grow and evolve. Jesus wants us to be happy. God wants us to be happy. Being perfect is not a requirement. It’s an unrealistic expectation of the church that sets you up for failure. I had to unlearn a lot of guilt, shame and...

Time This thread is so good. There is a Buddhist term that’s called maitri. It means kind, gentle compassion toward yourself. It is something that I try to practice, especially when my brain gets in the way of my heart. My brain seems to get in the way a lot of the times. It can run away down...

Hi Ellen, Unfortunately, I take them because I like them. I take maybe 100mgs of tramadol 2 or 3 times a week. I use them for when necessary, but the main reason is because I like it. I wish I didn’t. That’s the problem

Please take anything that a doctor tells you with a grain of salt. The majority of us here at this site, are here because someone told us something and we believed them. Somehow we were structurally damaged, or somehow the wires are crossed. It simply isn’t true. With trigeminal neuralgia, it’s...

Hi, I seem to be doing really well with the lessening of pain. Ever since I found out about TMS and delved right into it, it has made so much sense. I’ve even been able to decrease my Lyrica (something that was absolutely impossible before). Everything seems to be headed in the right direction...

You poor thing! I’ve never even heard of of this before. It sure sounds like TMS. Until you get emotional aspects of your life under control, you might want to consider Lyrica or something else to help with the nerve pain. You wouldn’t have happened to have been molested when you were little...
