anxiety

Hi all wanted to give everyone an update and welcome suggestions or advice on how to proceed with treatment. Briefly I am a 38/m and had fibro/CFS symptoms since teens. I came across the 20 20 Sarno segment and it stuck a big chord and I've been on the TMS train all the way since then. For...

I have seen a lot of references to Claire Weekes in this forum, so I thought I would give it a shot. I ordered the book and audio, but while I wait for delivery, I searched her on YouTube.... and I can tell I already love her. If you haven't seen this clip its certainly worth watching. "I have...

I posted about a week ago about having a dizziness that lasted about 2 weeks. That has passed, finally and thankfully! But a real problem I deal with pretty much daily, is anxiety, mainly health anxiety. It's gotten worse over the years but lately it's been really bad. Could this be caused by...

I just found out that I am pregnant and quite upset because I am just working on my TMS symptoms. I do have fears on how my life will change and especially the hardships I will face due to this new chapter in my life. It's just that I have this thought that are those pregnancy symptoms- nausea...

I'm struggling a lot with when I do feel anger I don't know what to do with it. I let it boil inside and eat me up. I let the person who angered me control the way I feel. Then I beat myself up after even thinking of not doing the right thing to take care of my kids or wife's need. I constantly...

After spending a lot of time in therapy I know all of my pain is due to anxiety although my life is pretty awesome right now which means that a lot of my stress is due to repressed emotions. What can I say to my brain if my current life is really good now?

I have a great deal of anxiety from growing up with an alcoholic, raging mother and then living with an alcoholic raging husband (who got sober after 15 years). If someone gets angry, I freeze up with anxiety. I've had quite a bit of success writing about my rage at my mother and my husband. I'm...

Hi! I've listened and read many stories and advice about taking the fear out of the equation to begin healing from TMS? I realize this will vary from person to person, but I would love to hear how long it took for YOUR pain to heal once you decided to stop fearing?? I know fear plays a huge...

Hi all. I am new to this site. So new, I just stumbled across it yesterday in one of my many desperate internet searches for what's bothering me. Here's a short history about me. I developed severe postpartum OCD about 10 years ago after giving birth to my son. It hasn't gone away. In these last...

Most people that read on this board a lot I think see many topics about anxiety and how it influences TMS. Im wondering if everybody who has anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, or anything in that realm would mind sharing their experiences on here about how it affects their TMS...

Hi everyone. I will try to make this as brief as possible. I'm currently suffering from severe anxiety, calf pain, and some muscle twitching. From what I can best tell, this all began last summer after having a very stressful school year with my fifth grade son, stressful year of work, and then...

Here is a checklist of the most important lessons I learned from Claire's book -- Hope and Help for your Nerves. She has 4 terms that she uses together. Face, Accept, Float and time. Which ones are you not doing? This works as equally well for Pain as it does for Anxiety. Dos and Don’ts 1. Do...

I've had years of mysterious ailments. Foot pain, numb legs, coccydynia, testicular pain, digestive issues, reflux, allergies, head/neck/shoulder/elbow/wrist/hand pain and tingling. These physical symptoms have coincided with mild, but persistent, depression and fatigue. I went to doctors for...

I dont know if anybody else has experienced this Im thinking that the brain associates stressful situations with certain parts of the body that you may be hypersensitive to and thats where pain arises. This theory stems from the fact that whenever I am stressed out about something, even if it's...

Hey everybody, I learned last Thursday that I had to go to a dinner tomorrow for work that would be at a university and would require being in a social environment with a crowd of people. I dont know if this is coincidence or not but since last Thursday my pain levels have gone up. I didn't...
