Stop trying to control your fear. Bypass the struggle. Float, and let time pass. —Claire Weekes Aug 1, 2025 at 9:45 AM

  • My Story

    I have had TMS my whole life on and off. In 2017, I learned about Sarno. Been on the forum since 2024. Since joining the forum I’ve gone from 16 symptoms to four. But I’m not out of the woods yet. My symptoms are not easy to live with. I need help to walk, and I can’t fully use my hands because they are curled up. (My right hand is better than my left, thank God!) Most of my really bad symptoms kicked in after I had Covid. I’ve had severe anxiety my whole life, with a history of child abuse. But somehow, I’m still here! Some days I’m very happy. This is good news because a year ago I was in the deepest darkest hole ever. Little by little, I believe I’m going to get better. I’m in it to win it. If you’re curious about more of my story, here’s some of the past. https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/my-story-i-know-it’s-tms.28068/

      The self-defeating logic of anxiety; it makes us truly believe that the only way to feel safe is to never feel safe. Martha Beck

      This TMS journey is not just about symptom relief, it's about life relief, and the bookend to trauma is power. @miffybunny

      There are many other things besides emotions that can turn the pain signal on or keep it going. Dan Buglio

      TMS is a painful aspect of GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) and should be viewed as such. @RogueWave
