anxiety

Hello, I'm a 42-year-old Frenchman, sorry for my sometimes imperfect English. For years I've suffered from various pains, and it was only a few days ago, thanks to a professor, that I realized I was suffering from a nervous system issue, and not Lyme disease, which I'd suspected for the past...

Hi, The last year I have had 24/7 panic attacks and exhaustion. I have been unable to be alone most of the day, and im an introvert, so being around people exhaust me. Its been a nightmare. It came from antidepressants, but contiunued long after discontionuation, and then i realised with all the...

Hi everyone! It's been a while here since I've posted. I've been really busy building Nervana, which many of you on this forum inspired (thank you again). But honestly, it's been really, really hard, from a personal symptom point of view. As many of you know from my initial story, I, like many...

I had frequent sore throats since childhood and episodes of breathing difficulty during stressful times. After I started going to the gym regularly after high school, these symptoms had disappeared. I moved to the U.S. in 2013 for college and stayed physically active with no major health...

I won’t waste everybodies time with my story but it’s pelvic floor nerve pain and cannot sit for 9 months. Yes stress was high as was fear of needing a pelvic surgery. It was never ever mentioned but I found out a prolapse existed and became terrified I’d get one. I think I still am plus I do...

I am feeling very defeated right now. I recently started working with a therapist, specializing in PRT (by Alan Gordon) for a very painful and visible skin flushing all over my body. I have read all the books (Sarno, Dan Buglio, Alan Gordon, etc.) and needed help digesting/implementing all the...

I have been suffering from sensitization from a really long time. I can tell my nerves are just completely shot and worn out from all the anxiety and stresses I’ve been through over the last several years. Bottom line is though, I can usually tell when it’s actually “anxiety” and when it’s...

For those who don't know me, my story is that I have progressed from episodes of being bedridden (for a total of circa 18 months) and housebound, and virtually housebound (for many years) with mind/body/TMS symptoms to these days functioning pretty well by comparison. I achieved this...

I have been suffering for a number of years from extreme anxiety and sensitization, which is only seemingly to somehow get worse. Everyday I wake up in the morning to feelings of panics in my body, even though nothing is happening. Long story short, I was in a living situation that traumaized...

In my journey to recovering from TMS, specifically manifested in the form of anxiety and anxiety based symptoms, I have read a lot on the topic of anxiety and the fight or flight response, and the consensus seems to be that the only real way to overcome anxiety is by facing the fight or flight...

Hi, I’m relatively new to learning about tms, but have gone through Alan’s program, and am reading Unlearn Your Pain, on day two of the journaling section. I have found remarkable relief from neck pain through using the strategies, and thought I was turning the corner with some tooth and mouth...

I'm a 27-year-old male named Achen. I used to work in finance and stock trading. For the past three years, I've been suffering from chronic shoulder and lower back pain. Last August, after an MRI, the doctor said my cervical lordosis was very bad, which made me highly vigilant. Since then, I've...

I was chatting to my edmr therapist today and going through exercises, and the thing that had the biggest emotional pull today, was that I feel unlovable. Saying those words made me extremely sad. Why do I feel this way? Sure, there were events at the age of 12 led to a critical event. But what...

Had this disorder since about 2010. I have it for a few months and then have about 8 or 9 months with no issues until it randomly comes into my head again. Pressure and ache or pain in the anal canal. Just need a pep talk as iv got myself through flare ups many many times before. My question is...

I think Sam is very smart but her videos are so difficult to grasp in terms of implementing her advice. One video that was inspiring was this one: Sam explains that 'anxiety is the avoidance of fear'. It took me a while to understand this statement but I think she's right. I know that my...

3 days till my trip to the beach. I knew these days would be hard. Claire Weekes talks about it in her audiobook, Freedom From Nervous Suffering. She says the days preceding a trip will be the worst, as far as anxiety. And I’ve known this to be true throughout my life because I’ve had anxiety my...

All of the many forms of TMS go hand-in-hand with excessive, irrational and unnecessary anxiety. We could even call it EIU Anxiety. The number of people with EIU Anxiety has been quietly on the rise for decades, and very obviously on the rise in the most recent ten years or so, which may be why...

I think the most challenging and earliest TMS symptom for me has been anxiety. I've had fear of doctors and procedures since a very young age. I've been doing great with all of my original physical symptoms (they're gone and I no longer fear them if I feel a tingle) except recent ankle pain...

How how how in the world did I get stuck in my house for a year?! How did I allow myself to believe that my life was over? Dr. David Hanscom calls this The Abyss. It’s the black hole of despair and destruction that TMS can put you in, and the entire thing is built on lies. First, you believe...
