Hi there! I am 32 years female with a history of back issues. Initially I was diagnosed with several herniated discs when I was 28 years old but I did traction and the pain went went away. I experienced a flare-up when I was 30 years old and did another MRI which reported that the herniated...

Hi since I started this program (I'm on day 10) I'm really struggling with bad anxiety and panic. My back and leg pain has decreased but my anxiety awful. My heart feels like it's pounding fast all day and I feel very shaky. I have a history of anxiety but it's gotten worse since I started...

Hi Everyone, I finally completed the 42nd day. It took me almost 3 months but I didn't have time to journal every day. Here is a quick recap of how it all went down for me. BEFORE - Before I started the SEP and read Mindbody Prescription I had anxiety most days. I had constant fear and a...

Hi, I've posted a few times about work stress. It's been bad for me lately but in a different way. There are changes going on in my dept. and I've given up certain projects that would be desirable to others. As a result, I'm finding out that people like working with my co-worker much better than...

I've been experiencing an increase in my anxiety lately and I've been finding Claire Weekes some what helpful. However she talks a lot about agoraphobia and it just doesn't apply to me since I have no problem leaving my house or being out in public. I've just been having a lot of thoughts...

Last week was very humbling for me in terms of my TMS recovery. I thought it would be enough to know what causes my migraines, to pinpoint the stressors and triggers. It was not. Last week I had major work stress. I was told straight to my face by upper management that I have no value in a...

Well I had fun for the first time in years. We went to visit some friends at a lake and I actually had fun. I'm still on a high. I haven't let go in years. I didn't fuss over my migraines, the sleeping situation, the food, the heat, or the drive. We arrived Friday and on Saturday I fought a...

Hi everybody! I post here today because I just can't live my life like I do anymore. Since Anxiety is said to be like TMS and I've actually left TMS behind and live painfree nowadays I just don't want to deal with anxiety anymore. It's like a never ending battle. Sure a few wins here and there...

Hello, Today in the SEP it has us journal about TMS personality traits. I learned something interesting about low self esteem that I never really put together before. I always seem to get anxiety before going to social events and sometimes I avoid it altogether. In fact, I usually get a...

I'm taking my time through the SEP. Day 15 so far and I thought I'd take time to post how it's been going so far. It's been about a month.. I'm working on the SEP because of migraines & anxiety. Things I've noticed so far: • I wish journaling helped me more. I've long known what problems in my...

This is my first post here, but I hope this does not discourage anyone from finding hope in my story. First, I'll tell you about me. I am a 23 years old girl who lived an ordinary life, my parents always loved me, but they always found it difficult to be emotionally close and physically...

So I have beat TMS issues successfully in the past. I have been having consistent underlying anxiety and some sleep issues. I believe this is TMS coming to surface. Do I take anti-anxiety medication to get over the hump? Also, I had been taking OTC medication to help sleep. Any help would be...

The dance of the symptom imperative. On the move. On the run. Divergence. Red herring. My new symptom imperative is that me brain will try to create worry about things not worth worrying about or not pertinent to right now to distract me from bigger realities or situations where I find myself...
