We may experience stress, anxiety, fear, sadness, and loneliness as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental illnesses, such as anxiety and depression, can deteriorate. When compared to surveys conducted prior to the pandemic, surveys show a significant increase in the number of U.S. adults...

So I've been dealing with new TMS symptoms and some small relapses too. I've come to recognize that Health Anxiety is a constant theme for me and I think it's driving some of my fear and my TMS symptoms. I wound up working with a therapist and taking an online course to deal with this. Here some...

Hi Everyone I’ve posted on the forum before about my urination, tension and rushing symptoms. I’m gonna go into my issues my in depth here with the hope of getting some guidance. 10 years ago following an earthquake I developed chronic stress and anxiety. I was worrying all the time about...

I was rewatching Dr Sarno's lecture and at one point he says that anxiety or depression is a TMS equivalent that does not occur at the same time as TMS pain. As far as I can tell, I have pain and anxiety at the same time. From reading the forums over the years I think many people are in the same...

Long post here. But maybe it will inspire hope to not give up; even after decades of suffering. It's my success story which I wrote in 2005. In 2005 -- after 20+ years of asthma, hives, allergy, depression, anxiety, and more -- I got well. Journaling was the catalyst, and possibly the major...

I posted for the first time on this website less than a week ago, and I learnt of TMS less than 10 days ago. Since then, I’ve felt a difference in my pain from a 8/10 to a 3/10 and started going for daily walks to learn more about TMS. Since Monday, 3-4 days ago, my anxiety is through the...

I've been coming to terms with the fact that I have been holding in a LOT of sadness. But when I try to open myself up to feeling this sadness, it inadvertently also opens me up to a lot of fear and anxiety. Which is causing my symptoms to get WORSE. i.e. I just lost someone, and I am trying...

I've been experiencing the most severe anxiety I've ever experienced in the last week due to really big life stressors going on (Death in the family). It got so bad, I haven't been able to eat much, been having gut issues, losing weight rapidly, my stomach constantly feeling sick, panicking...

Hey everyone, Just wondering if the same type of techniques and outlooks, that are used to combat the physical pains associated with TMS, can also be used in combating some mental ailments too such as OCD and anxiety? Thanks.

Hi all, So I have been going through a couple weeks now of generally feeling low, and anxious, and todays Day 16 of MRP talked about emotional repression. As I listened to it, and the link between anger and anxiety mentioned, I wanted to learn more about this concept of anxiety and depression...

Hi Everyone, I suffer from frequency and urgency urination symptoms and have to learn to drive. I’m super nervous about having an anxiety attack while driving thinking I’m gonna pee. any help or tips? Cause the little voice in my head is telling me not to start learning cause of my...

I came across this article, thanks to my fascination with long COVID and it's possible connection to TMS. What made it even more interesting to me is that long COVID studies seem to converge on the same ideas as the neuroscience of TMS. While back and neck pain remain by far dominant on this...

I know I shouldn't be worrying because I'm otherwise doing well, but, some of my symptoms might not be reversible. I'm managing well enough that I don't need a doctor or pain meds. I'm doing well pain wise but no amount of reassurance can stop anxious thoughts about the pandemic. 7 months after...

I thought I'd post here just to get this out of my head. I have been experiencing heart palpitations on and off for years now. I've had an EKG and they say everything is normal. I mostly believe that, except when it gets really bad, and my heart starts beating wildly and irregularly--doing flips...

Do you know the worst type of anxiety? The most counterintuitive? The most disguised? The happiness anxiety! Is there such anxiety? Oh yes! Here’s how it works: When you suffer from low self-esteem and something good happens in your life… you may feel happy but also confused… “Hold on…...

I've had so many revelations about myself, but I noticed I've been still searching deeper and deeper for answers. As of this moment in time, I have to be 100% honest with myself: I've always had the answers. I've ALWAYS known my issues stemmed from anxiety and fear (and oversensitized nerves)...

I'm feeling defeated today. Yesterday was a tough, highly uncomfortable day. I think I'm experiencing the symptom imperative really severe. My usual neck pain and transformed into many different pains over the last few weeks, the last week (and yesterday) was the peak of pain. My anxiety has...

Hey everyone! I just wanted to post an update after almost a year since my original post. At that time, I had come back from a serious low point that kept me completely bedridden, but was still far from being able to return to work or school: I was plateaued in a cycle of fear and symptoms that...
