depression

Hi, a simple question. Should one also calm down their nervous system if one feel sad or depressed? It's depression also a form of anxiety/being in flight or fight mode? Thank you.

I've been struggling the last couple of weeks and I'm not sure what to do. I think I'm in a depression. I know that can pop up when we are healing. I've been dealing with insomnia as well-which can contribute to that. I'm just wondering if anyone else on this forum dealt with it as well and...

Hi, I’m new here and I’m trying to figure out if I have TMS. I got Covid or some sort of bad virus last December. It took me about 2 weeks to recover but I didn’t fully get better. I started getting dizzy symptoms and then pressure headaches and chronic fatigue. A lot had happened in my life at...

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'm feeling depressed. I thought I was doing very well with symptom control and decided to cut back on my medicine. (Imipramine) After about a week and half of trying a lower by 5mgs dose my pain crept back up and then became unbearable again. I had to get back on the same dose I was on to...

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...

I wanted to thank this community for the guidance and support when I needed it the most. I don’t know where I would be if I hadn’t learned about Dr. Sarno and TMS. I’m going to apologize in advance if this is long. My chronic pain symptoms are gone so I figured I’d stop putting off my story. I...

I’m becoming more aware of how my inner bully and self criticism is affecting my mental health / TMS symptoms. I am very VERY hard on myself, like if I do something wrong I tell myself I’m a useless piece of crap etc. Ex: I take a wrong turn on the road to my destination, and I’m chewing...

Hi I've recovered from all the pain I had since I started the program a year ago (I had all kind of disable pain for many years). But sadly it's been months now that I've been eaten alive by depression, addictions and even some form of dissociation. I have been caught in a spirale and I don't...

I'm a bit overdue for an update and sharing of my success story. 6 years ago I was so ill it would take me days to work up the energy to shower. The onset of 50+ mysterious symptoms around this time and the total crashing down of my life and reality would lead me on the hardest and one of the...

Here is the replay of my interview on TMS RoundTable Global with Dr. Tovah Goldfine. We discussed 1. How to use your body-mind connection to overcome mind-body conditions 2. How to bring about rapid change for better health 3. What I learned from Arnold Schwarzenegger and how it can help with...

Hi all, I need some help. I have been on a journey with TMS since this time last year, after discovering it for the first time. I realised my long covid had TMS elements, and many other symptoms I have experienced (including insomnia, anxiety, depression, IBS, etc) also were TMS. I have made...

Once again - the role of inflammation in our mental and physical health is becoming more and more apparent. And just in case you haven't seen me say this more and more often recently, let me remind everyone that inflammation is a natural response of our immune system to danger, injury, or...

Since I posted earlier this month I got my test results back and do not have Lyme disease. A few weeks passed and my husband was still worried about me and urged me to go to the doctor. I did not want to go because I was sure it was just stress, but to appease him I went. I told the doctor what...

These are some limited excerpts from a new article in National Geographic . What I find interesting is that this article talks about a device, but we know that there are breathing exercises for vagus nerve stimulation, which are specifically designed to reduce anxiety, so as you read this...

I urge you (Yes, you, reading this now) to listen to Nicole Sach's most recent podcast (S3, E19), titled Am I "Journaling My Way Into Depression?" She addresses, very clearly and convincingly, the necessity of buckling down and doing whatever it takes to get through the worst part of recovery...
