fear

My question has to do with stress. I am in the military and I recently found out that I’m being transfer to a new city. I knew it was coming but moves like this come with a lot of stress. Such as deciding to sell or rent my house, finding a new house, finding schools for the kids, making new...

For the past 3 months i have had 24/7 twitching in both of my calves, i also have random twitching in my arches of feet, arms, hands, back, temples, inbetween eyes, lips, tounge, etc... i went to a neruo and he has done a bunch of testing and even a emg. the emg was clean besides showing a few...

i’ve had severe TMS which causes my right foot and leg to be in extreme pain for over two years. I have tried everything like most and have had significant improvement with Dr. Sarno’s method which I discovered about 4 months ago. Unfortunately I still have some pain which comes and goes in my...

Hello all- Forgive me if I post in the wrong place. I am brand new to the forum (to any online forum, really). My name is Ally. I’m a 33 year old mom of 3, married to my post-high school sweet heart for 12 years—-and I have been suffering from chronic low back pain for 10 years. It started when...

Past few days have been eye openers for me.i realised I was living in a lot of fear and anxiety. I used a punching bag to take out some emotions and I think it worked(any other better way?). My pain has reduced by about 40 percent and it is moving around. But what I constantly think is how 3...

I am having a hard time doing everything in the SEP, especially the journaling. Why? I'm doing a couple of other things, such as meditating and yoga and somatic tracking, and this brings up so many feelings and tears that I either really don't want to do the journaling (and then I don't), or I...

Hi what are the best ways to stay positive, believe and not be afraid ? I know I have tms for like 20 years and it usually takes me a couple years to beat each problem I have. I probably have had 12 different symptom areas. Every time I get close to beating my pain or issue I feel amazing and...

Hi guys. So a while back I was having IBS symptoms. I was really into working out at the time( for the wrong reasons) and had a horrible relationship with food. Now im working on self love and restoring my relationship w food and my self. I haven't been doing any toning work outs and have just...

I have had TMS symptoms for a few years. Mostly upper back/neck pain and pelvic pain. I have had many other symptoms though and some periods of very little pain. About 7 weeks ago it all got really bad right at the end of a week off from work. I got a TMS diagnosis from a TMS doctor and...

I still haven’t made any progress, despite attempting to treat my pain the TMS way for 8 years. I’m still full of doubt, fear, and frustration despite overwhelming evidence that this is psychological. I’ve read all the books, done all the programs. Where can I turn? How does one address the fear...

Hi everyone! I’m getting more and more desperate: I don’ t get out anymore of the vicious circle with my fear of pain. Let’s say I must buy something in a shop: I know when I have to stand more than 1-2 minutes, the pain in my foot starts to flare up. So I think ( at home): maybe there will be...

Migraines - pretty much gone and when they do come they last a few hours rather than a few days Daily head tension - down from a constant 6 to an intermittent 2/3 RSI in bot hands -pretty much gone Remaining... constant lightheaded foggy head and slightly blurred vision New symptom - intense...

Hi everyone, I'm in the midst of a TMS flare and while I'm new to the concept of TMS, I know this is what I have. Leading up to this current flare, I was having immense feelings of rage and sadness about an emotionally abusive relationship I was in. Coupled with this, I had pent up feelings of...

Hi everyone, does anyone want to share his experience of not worrying anymore and no longer being afraid? How did you put into practice? I would really like to hear how you did and all the advice. thanks

Hi everyone, long time ago I was nearly every here in this forum. Since 8 months I am more or less symptomfree. My shoulder pain and acid reflux are on a normal level. I go to gym as I did before TMS and Drink as much coffee and alcohol as I want. It‘s like a wonder! I am very thankful and proud...

Hello to all, I'm working hard on the program(I'm day ten) and I'm slowly trying to get back to my daily activities, including exercise. I'm also working hard on emotions and there are days like this that I'm living in when fear returns to be my worst enemy. Tonight after several nightmares...

Hi all -new here. I am off to do a trigger activity that I have stayed away from for some time- playing tennis. I introduced myself in the support forum so will save the long story but the short version is that I have had chronic tendinitis throughout my right arm and a strained bicep muscle...

Here's a sweet little bit of whimsy for your Sunday afternoon! This has been around for a while, but I thought I'd share it. Along with the other random and silly and wonderful things it covers, there's a good TMS message about enjoying life as a soft and precious act of defiance in the face...

a) Fear of pain is just SECONDARY FEAR b) but fear of threatening, distressing emotions, feelings and thoughts is PRIMARY FEAR c) and, last but not least, fear of fear is TERTIARY FEAR OK ?

It's been a couple of weeks since I started this TMS trip, and on days like today, when my pain has increased, I feel almost panic-stricken. I've been fighting acute anxiety all day - all week really. So I'm trying to take a step back and look at the big picture, to help silence the negativity...
