anxiety

I was writing a response to a thread here, when I noticed the anxiety manifesting as chest pain. The thread was about depression, asking whether anyone has had depression "due to TMS". I tried making my case for it, because the experiences I have had tells me the theory is real. I think my fear...

When you are anxious, you are living in the future. When you are depressed, you are living in the past. When you are at peace, you are living in the present. - Lao Tzu

Hi all, long story but I've been dealing with a lot of physical symptoms for a long time. Started with stress based neck and shoulder pain in the past but has become more clever over the years. A few months ago I was in a meeting and my hand started shaking. I freaked out and began googling...

Hi there, I Have been reading other posts for the last year and a half I thought I’ll finally make a new one. I have had crps symptoms and neuropathic pain as well for last 3-4 years and what’s crazy I have seen some amazing improvement when I just pushed myself at the gym and became very...

Morning all, I trust no one minds with if I share this mail I received from the Curable Team as it contains some helpful information and resources for anyone experiencing a peak in symptoms. Heads up, I’ve edited this post to remove all references to subscription and pricing. Curable are...

Hey all, The Dare Method is actually one of the popular books in the space. I bought it a long time ago. I have a friend who transformed his life with this book and method, a very stubborn friend in fact lol. So, figured I'd leave this hear. It's free... and anyone with anxiety/TMS may find...

Really nice, really well-explained, and usefully short article in the NYT today! Take particular note of the two statistics at the start...

You know what? I'm angry. This is absolutely not something I would have admitted to, before discovering TMS. I am very much the typical TMS personality, a goodist, perfectionist, stoic. I can't recall more than a few times in my entire life that I've even felt, let alone expressed, anger, so...

Need help, i'm having a lot of panic attacks lately, basically i'm on the 3rd day of SEP program. I was trying to re write my history as back i can remember, even from since i was in kindergarten, those tiny glimpse of image that go through my mind . I reached to a conclusion where i figured out...

Was listening to a podcast called Mind and Fitness by a TMS friendly host and he had a great guest on who talked a lot about doubt. In fact, his theory is that doubt is probably the biggest obstacle in TMS recovery. Not doubt in that it exists or not... but his patients doubt that their exact...

Hey, Just thought I'd share something I've been doing that seems to be working for me during those middle of the night flares of pain or anxiety. Recently, I've been having a lot of anxiety in the middle of the night because of some stresses going on in our life right now. I’d tried a lot of...

In the last 18 months, I had two major (by my measure, of course) accomplishments and I made one life-changing decision. It all came to head now, and anxiety hit. And today I told my boss that I am taking an early retirement this July, thus finalizing the decision that I made 18 months ago. My...

Not all the time, but I'm starting to feel anxiety at times. Is that me actually starting to feel my emotions? I felt it last night and didn't really know what to do with it. It felt uncomfortable, and I was trying to sleep, so I put my ear buds in and listened to a meditation. What do you do...

Hi guys, I developed pelvic pain 6 months ago. Allegedly pudendal neuralgia according to my PT, nervy sensations, some burning some itching. I also have lower back pain that comes and goes alternates sides. I’ve had IBS all my life on the loose side but now I am borderline constipated which has...

So my symptoms started 6 months ago which I attributed to going hard in the gym, weight lifting. I started to get itching/burning all over my genitals, groin and anal area. I would have horrific burning especially when I would be sitting down all over my sitting area as if on fire. I figured it...

I suffered with migraine most of my life. The headache symptoms went away when the anxiety started 4 years ago. I am now recognizing that the anxiety comes in the same pattern as the migraines. Weather, especially wind was a big trigger for my migraines and now I see it playing the same role...

Hello to the whole forum, I haven't written anything for a long time and I would like your opinion on what has been happening to me for a few months now. the problem is the continual shifting of symptoms from one part of my body to another. In this period in particular I underwent a root canal...

After reading “Heeling Back Pain” last week I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. I finally knew what was causing my Pelvic and abdominal pain issues and I felt like I had hope. I felt great all week and begun resuming exercising again. My game plan entailed doing Alan Gordon’s...
