feeling

I can't seem to focus well and get mentally tired after little time of thinking and or being in front of a pc. Even if I try to push myself sometimes I would get more exhausted. I sleep plenty but still want naps. should I push myself and just think it's tms or when the exhaustion hits ill take...

I’m writing this out of desperation. I feel so hopeless and like my life is over and I’m only 38. This has been going on for 4 years (I know that’s not a lot for many of you) and most recently have been experiencing a really bad 5 week flare-up. This flare-up is extra painful with way more pain...

Okay, I hear that I need to “feel my repressed feelings” but what does that even mean? I thought I was already doing that. How do I do what I need to do to get out of pain? All great questions and ones that I had at the beginning of this work. It seems that we TMSers go through stages of...

Hey, all. I’ve been at this for a couple years now with ups and downs, but these past few weeks have OWNED me. My pelvic pain (rectal tightness, burning) has come roaring back, not that it ever completely left. I can’t sleep. I can’t sit. It’s so bad that it’s all I can think about. I’m not...

First I would like to say that I've been reading through many discussions and have take Alan Gordan's pain program and I am thoroughly grateful for the brave men and women who post here and for those who have provided help out of the kindness of their hearts. That being said, I have not posted a...

I am trying an Alcohol Free 30 day experiment as I have recently begun to think that drinking too many beers ramps up my anxiety. And we all know what happens when our anxiety gets out of hand. So, I was visiting my sister and her husband a few weeks ago. My sister and I talked about how...

I've been coming to terms with the fact that I have been holding in a LOT of sadness. But when I try to open myself up to feeling this sadness, it inadvertently also opens me up to a lot of fear and anxiety. Which is causing my symptoms to get WORSE. i.e. I just lost someone, and I am trying...

Hi all, So I have been going through a couple weeks now of generally feeling low, and anxious, and todays Day 16 of MRP talked about emotional repression. As I listened to it, and the link between anger and anxiety mentioned, I wanted to learn more about this concept of anxiety and depression...

I feel like it can be difficult to discern what emotional releases will lead to relief from TMS and those that just seem to make things worse. But often I can move from feelings of sadness to fear and anxiety and there's a rather thin line between them sometimes. Is this fairly common for anyone?

This might sound a bit odd and unusual, even for those very accustomed to TMS, but for a while now I notice that I am not able to enjoy the things I use to. That is, I can't really feel much in the way of positive emotions - aka joy, excitement, etc. It's gotten to the point that I feel...

I’ve been feeling anxious and shaky mostly a couple of hours after breakfast daily been checking blood sugar seems fine lowest I’ve seen is 4.2 mmol it’s been getting worse but neck pain is almost all gone is this another equivalent?????? Has anyone else got info on this ????

Hi everyone, I have been doing some 'shadow' work and have discovered that an underlying theme throughout my life has been, and still is, the feeling of being trapped by circumstances. Intellectually, I don't think I necessarily/really believe that the grass is, or will be, greener on the other...

Hi all, I started meditating a few days ago for the first time. I’m only doing about 5 minutes a day at the moment. I tried it again just now and felt a sense of panic right after, like a panic attack was coming on...still feeling it now but trying to calm myself down. I wondered if anyone had...

i don’t know how to say it, but i rarely feel emotions. i rarely ever smile or laugh. i however feel sad more often. i seem to not care of what’s happening in the moment sometimes. yes i’m in therapy. anyone else have felt like empty? i want to feel joy again and i will! i accept this...

do you really say how you feel or do you say something else? what if i feel sad and people ask how i feel? i used to say i feel sad or horrible, because i was actually feeling that way. i sometimes still say it, sometimes i try modify it and make it sound better, but am i feeding tms by saying...

Hi All, My primary TMS symptom is testicular pain. I'm a bit confused about learning to "feel my feelings." My primary emotions are worry and anger. I have pretty good insight into their underpinnings: my mother is a very anxious person and I learned this from her as a child, and I have a...

Hey there, For a few weeks now I'm feeling like I have "something" in my eyes. More in the left eye and a bit in the right. In the left eye it is a feeling like their is a contact lens inside (I haven't worn contact lenses for over 10 years). Can this be TMS? I can't go do a eye Doctor right now...

I have had some success making my symptoms go away with Sarno's approach and Alan's TMS program. Unfortunately, I feel like I keep getting to this place where I am caught between fear/anxiety (my repressed emotion) or pain. I will either feel incredibly anxious/panicked/not like my self at all...

I've been having shooting back pain on and off since last week. It came one day after I decided to resume creative things. It took me a while to piece this together. The same day I resumed my creative endeavors I had been writing poems and did several sketches. I was excited and felt joy. I had...
