fear

Hi Everyone- I'd like to first say hi, I haven't been on here in a while. I popped on a few times at the start of my journey and then a little later for support. I would like to be more active on here to help support others in the same way you all have supported me. I am back in school full...

Okay, so the TMS experts are saying that whatever we resist persists and we should allow. This is important especially in emotions where we allow our emotions ie we feel them instead of resisting them. Okay, that makes sense to me. However, we are also told that we shouldn’t fear our pain as...

To solidify my reading I’m going to reflect - spending 15 minutes to half an hour to get TMS trained. yesterdays post “What you’re truly celebrating is that you’re changing your habits, and building a sense of empowerment”. Positive reinforcement for efforts and dopamine rewards for doing...

Hi, everyone! Today is my birthday and I am thankful to be alive —even with my TMS! I am blessed to be at the beach— my favorite place in the whole world. And I got here by facing all my fears and coming despite my anxiety and doubts. Instead of failing, like I feared, I’ve been getting...

3 days till my trip to the beach. I knew these days would be hard. Claire Weekes talks about it in her audiobook, Freedom From Nervous Suffering. She says the days preceding a trip will be the worst, as far as anxiety. And I’ve known this to be true throughout my life because I’ve had anxiety my...

Is there anything in your life you feel like you can’t control? How does not being in control make you feel? I cannot recall many times in my life that I was just holding the reins nor times when I just let them hang free. I do know my controlling personality is happier while actually driving...

One trait of my personality is that I am __hypervigilent________________________________. I have this trait because…I was a frightened child who never felt safe. This one’s easy for me. I’ve done much work on being tense, hyper aware, fearful. It comes down to not having a Dad in the home...

What’s the most disheartening thing a Dr. ever told me? The first time I went to a doctor for TMS, it was for tingling on the bottom of my foot and all sorts of strange sensations in my back and they told me they didn’t know what it was. This was before the Internet, and way before I found out...

I do have some weird cognitive traits such as aphantasia and anendophasia (meaning I can't visualize and I don't have an internal monologue). I really only start to notice that I'm stressing about my symptoms when I'm very anxious and my body feels uncomfortable, but 90 % of the time I'm unaware...

These are quotes from Dr. Claire Weekes, in her book Hope and Help for Your Nerves. Fear alone makes you vulnerable. Without fear, your adrenaline-releasing nerves lack the stimuli to excite your organs to produce the sensations of breakdown. No one has ever had a breakdown while calm...

I appreciate that this article (in the following link) is essentially about Martha Beck advertising her new book that became available to today in the UK, but I really liked the idea of swapping the anxiety spiral for a creativity spiral to relieve chronic anxiety and fear and lots of other...

Hallo, ich befinde mich seit 2 Monaten in einer schlimmen Angstspirale. Nach sehr viel dehnen, habe ich Schmerzen beim Sitzbeinhöcker entwickelt. Ein MRT hat ergeben, dass ich eine sehr leichte Sehnenreizung rechts habe. Da ich aber auch beschwerden an der anderen Seite habe, habe ich leider...

Hey all. it’s been a minute! I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to share something that literally just happened (about 5 minutes agro when writing this) and want to pick your brains. I’ve been trying to learn to feel my emotions more and more. I finished the SEP about a week ago, and...

Exercising more to show the body it is structurally healthy makes perfect sense. In February, after making several "wrong" movements with my hand I lost the ability to move my hand and my fingers, I was then diagnosed with CRPS. After 6 months of slow increases I can move the fingers again but...

Well once I get my mind on the right track that the label "fibromyalgia" is just tms and nothing more. That it is anxiety but physical and doctors use this label when they don't know what is causing it, my mind decides to revert to the doubt over and over like it loves to stick to this way of...

Hi everyone! One of the last symtoms I’ve been trying to tackle is my temperature regulation/burning sensation and sweating. I know TMS likes to hold onto things we fear the most. I always was self conscious about the heat issues with dating,and men actually have pointed out how physically hot...

She suffered from anxiety herself & recognised that most emotional as well as physical ailments were 'very much an illness of your attitude to fear'. https://psyche.co/ideas/one-womans-six-word-mantra-that-has-helped-to-calm-millions (One woman’s six-word mantra that has helped to calm...

Hey guys. So I have been praying a whole lot more lately. I was about to journalspeak about something I am very fearful about. It felt like my entire life hinges on an acceptance letter for a scholarship. I setup my college and got everything put together. I just need this scholarship of which...
