feeling

I’ve been feeling pretty rough the past few weeks. My TMS tends to show up mainly as anxiety-driven thoughts, and lately it’s been especially intense. In the last month, a few things came up at once. I casually got bloodwork done (I have a history of fear around tests and doctors), and...

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...

His therapy caused me a lot of mental health problems. I bought his book, watched the YouTube videos etc. I saw 2 therapists, connected to all my emotions, then I started to go downhill quite fast, my anxiety seemed to double overnight and I went downhill fast. I told the therapist and he...

TMSers short circuit emotions and stuff them. We learned it as children as a protection. And that’s how we keep filling up our rage buckets, which, in turn, overflow into symptoms. So the trick is, you want to learn how to FEEL; grieve the emotions, and let the emotions dissipate. You want to...

So I’ve recovered from a bunch of TMS-symptoms throughout the years, but I’m still somewhat caught in the symptom imperative so I’m clearly not completely out of the woods yet. That said, the intensity of the symptoms are not as high as before, and I’ve been able to take a lot of my life back...

Hello! At the end of the week, I'm going on a little getaway for a week, and it'll be the first time leaving my city in over a year thanks to my immobilising leg pain. I'm excited but I'm also feeling very nervous. Today, I've started getting more pain in my calves again which is only...

Hi everyone, at the beginning of my journalling experience I felt regulated (obviously I wasn't it was just all buried deep) but now about 6 months in I'm starting to feel so dysregulated, it takes absolutely nothing to make me cry and then I just can't stop. Everything feels devastating...

Is feeling safe the same as not having fear? The reason I ask, is it seems although we can dispense with fear at a given time, it will always come back to us at some point in our lives, regarding something. Fear is a human emotion that can't be wished away. If you become fearful of something a...

Is it ok to some days just feel really sorry for yourself and spend the day crying on and off ! This feel counterproductive but also impossible to suppress.

(Trigger warning: child abuse) Two nights ago I had one of my worst panic attacks (night terrors) ever. (I have them often, so this is saying a lot.) I had really bad pain following it. Normally, I would ask myself what I’m angry about. But this time, I decided to try Sam Miller’s method. I...

I'm struggling mentally this past week. I have been seeing such progress! In the middle of May, I had to stop the SEP program. I didn't have time between work and my kids activities that are wrapping up. Thankfully, we are less busy for the summer and I can now jump on the SEP program again...

Today is a very hot day, i feel exhausted and im lacking energy to do anything. My pain is worse than usual. I feel so empty recentely i can not come up with anything that‘s fun. I‘m just laying here feeling like i wanna cry because there is nothing thats really motivating to do something...

Two forum prompts today. So how I'm doing so far. Well. I can honestly say I still have a metric ton of doubts, especially because my pain is a lot worse. Nicole says that's possible with her work but it has been over a month of a progressive increase and spread. What was starting to wrap around...

Hi everyone! It's been a while. I was feeling not too terrible up until Christmas and it's been difficult. Went on a trip out of the country last month and emotionally, it did more harm than good. (Also physically, since I got cold and stomach bug, yikes) I feel like I'm recovering from this...

Article (there may be a paywall, unfortunately): https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/12/magazine/chronic-pain.html (Chronic Pain Is a Hidden Epidemic. It’s Time for a Revolution.) I read the above article this morning, in which the author and chronic pain sufferer details how chronic pain is...

TMS work is what reduced my chronic daily headaches/migraines and other chronic illnesses significantly that I had for 17+ years. I see so many posts in the chronic migraine page Facebook page, and on instagram still.. of people in unbearable daily pain like I had been until I found this work...

I recently revisited a book that I bought a number of years ago called ‘Joy on Demand: The Art of Discovering the Happiness Within’ by Chade-Meng Tan. (My Kindle 'book shelves' are 'groaning' under the weight of all the mind/body books I have bought over the years, so I've been trying not to...

Apologies up front for how long this is. So I must convey feelings of safety to the brain. I try to tell myself life is good and I have nothing to worry about. I am safe. No one is coming to hunt me down. In a fundamental way, I actually am safe. Better off than most by basic living metrics. I...

As far as I can recall, my early TMS symptoms began in late 2017. To my ignorance at the time, my perfectionistic, self-critical, and people pleasing personality pushed my stress levels to the extreme. Juggling a busy corporate job and working on my side-business until late at night, I started...
