addiction

Tengo una adicción gracias a TMS. Desde que comencé este trabajo, lo hice con mucho entusiasmo y esperanza de mejorar. Encontré información —muchos videos de personas con situaciones similares a la mía— pero, más concretamente, encontré videos basados en la neurociencia que me dieron una gran...

Hi I've recovered from all the pain I had since I started the program a year ago (I had all kind of disable pain for many years). But sadly it's been months now that I've been eaten alive by depression, addictions and even some form of dissociation. I have been caught in a spirale and I don't...

As a long-time TMS warrior with many various aches, pains and disorders and symptom imperatives, I am very well versed in how pernicious and sneaky TMS can be! A recent revelation I had was that the condition of Limerence is a TMS equivalent. Limerence is the addictive/obsessive infatuation...

Ok, so I know I am addicted to this forum. It’s just so comforting. And I feel like I’ve found my people. Your wisdom is the best! I am thinking of restricting myself to only so many days/week. Am I making too big of a deal out of this? Has anyone else ever felt addicted here?

Hello, :) been reading the forums for 2 years now finally posting! 40/m Timeline: Years of hip pain, some back pain. Never bother going to doctor about it. Always came and went. Assuming it was bad running form. Caught covid early 2020 (was one of the most stressful 3 weeks of my life) after...

Hello! I just finished reading The Mindbody Prescription this afternoon. The idea that my symptoms are distractions from my repressed rage has changed how I approach my struggles overnight. I wanted to get connected with this community to learn more and stay in touch with the cure. Here's my...

Came across this article and thought it may be interesting and worth reading for the TMS crowd: https://www.theguardian.com/global/2021/aug/22/how-digital-media-turned-us-all-into-dopamine-addicts-and-what-we-can-do-to-break-the-cycle (Constant craving: how digital media turned us all into...

Everyone should listen to the October 30th episode of Eddy Lindenstein's "The Mind And Fitness Podcast" featuring his interview with David Clarke, MD. Seriously. The interview is jam-packed with vital information. Listen now.

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...

I thought this topic deserves a special thread, since it seems to be questionable in a recent thread whether smoking and nicotine addiction are TMS. Of course they are, no if’s, butt’s or um’s? It’s very self depreciating for me in some places, but here goes: I can speak first hand to this...

According to this article, multiple studies have found that opioid use may actually increase pain sensitization (possibly independent of drug tolerance) over time, a condition known as "opioid-induced hyperalgesia."...

I saw this article on my news app this morning. Last year I worked for a drug and alcohol charity as an administrator. One of my tasks was to compile data for monthly reports. I saw first-hand how deeply hidden this type of addiction is. I don’t think I came across more than one service user who...

Sorry I'm not sure if this is appropriate for this forum, but I thought it might help me, as the people on this forum tend to be very thoughtful and considered :) Without going into too much detail... My cousin has been in a dark place for a long time, and on and off through his whole life. He...
