depression

I finally came across some psychological help recently that really changed the way that I view anxiety and depression which were TMS equivalents that have bothered me for the last few years. I feel so much better and hopeful than I have in a long time. In the TMS community we learn that there...

Hi everyone, I do the SEP since one month. Because of my psychoanalysis therapy with 3 sessions per week, I do the SEP exercises 2-3 day a week and am currently on day 14. I have learned much about TMS, myself, my personality, my fears and unsolved conflicts and feelings. After a fallback two...

So I am new to this and havn't been doing it very long, but I recently had an absolutely wonderful experience. I was feeling very very low, like the colour had faded out of the world, classic depression. And I sat down and journaled. I wouldn't even call it journaling, all I did was write out...

Upon reading Sarno's book, I started on the TMS path 2 months ago and tried to do all the right things. I have been able to do much more with my hands and arms than before, despite my symptoms, and have been working with the TMS specialist who I like a lot. Today, I can't get rid of a thought...

I'm struggling with some depression lately and I was wondering if this is TMS? All my physical symptoms are pretty much gone lately, but I'm really struggling with this now. How do you overcome TMS depression if it is a symptom imperative? I have a 5 month old baby, 3 year old, and tons and...

Dear fellow forum members, I was so happy to have found Sarno and all of you and was able to get beyond my pelvic pain over the course of five months. Feeling blessed. Then, a couple months after that, I had an intense upper back pain that I didn't recognize as the beginning of shingles...

I just currently had my first 2 weeks in 3 years with no pain. This past weekend my brother was messing with me and we started wrestling and I felt something pop in my right lower back.... my pain the last 3 years has been crippling and paralyzing but it was on my left side not my right. right...

I'll try to make it quick (first post)... My name is Daniel. I started having joint issues in knees, hips, shoulders, elbows and ankles about 8 years ago (21 y/o). Eventually developed back and sacrum pain which then turned into burning stinging pain down legs and in sacrum. Developed an...

I am a 52 year old man. I started having back pain when I was a teenager. I “sprained” my back when I was 15 years old, and was temporarily paralyzed. I spent 3 weeks in bed and another 3 weeks on crutches. You have to understand that I was an otherwise healthy kid. I was very athletic and...

I'll try to keep this short. Haven't been on this forum for a while.those who know me remember a desperate person who was searching for answers and trying to understand this Tension Syndrome. As I continue on this Tms journey,I can say that I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. To...

Hello, I'm inquiring for insight into my pain. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have every kind of pain. Muscle, joint (no swelling), tendon pain, burning pain, aching pain, and tender to touch pain. I also experience tingling and stinging pain all over the place along with muscle spasms...

Hello community, My name is Kevin, I recently completed the SEP and am now 100% better, and I believe cured. I thought I'd post my story here. Like many of us, for the longest time I've suffered from some form of TMS, but I only learned it was TMS about 3 months ago. Reflecting back on as far...

I found written in a drawing pad...I know I wrote these things during despair over chronic pain. The first one should sing like a blues melody. Imagine Otis Reading. Blue- sometimes I get so bored and blue Blue- sometimes I get so bored and blue I can't see the light of day I lie lie lie lie...

Written by Dr. Schubiner on November 26, 2009 One of the great books of the twentieth century is Victor Frankel’s, Man’s Search for Meaning. In the book, he describes the need we have to understand why things happen. When someone gets sick, one of the first questions asked is, “Why did this...

I wanted to give you a link to a podcast that Dr. David Schechter did with the DrunkenTaoist in which he discussed the Mind-Body Connection. Here's a direct link to the audio. I'd skip the first 11 minutes because Dr. Schechter doesn't come on until 11:02. Also, the interviewer does swear and...

I have nearly finished reading 'They can't find anything wrong!' by David D. Clarke. It strikes me that where Sarno approaches Anxiety and Depression as symptoms of brewing, suppressed emotions, just like physical symptoms, Clarke treats them as causes for symptoms. Although I see a lot of...

I have been a member for over a year and I felt the need to share my story! I have been enduring rectal pain for over 3 years, been to multiple doctors with no diagnosis. I knew it was TMS but I was unable to overcome the pain. I believe the pain was linked to also not being able to conceive...

I have had depression for a number of years and i hide this from many people: my house mates, even though there quite good friends one is a psychiatric nurse and 1 is depressed herself. I have never told my best friends from university either. I have lived in London for the past few years and...
