journaling

As I read my journal entries now I see a lot of common themes in what I am feeling. While writing over the last week especially I can see how ever event I'm writing about comes back to the same root emotion. Some of my old entries are just pure rage and frustration. Some of the insults I've...

I’m a seasoned TMS warrior. I’ve been through years of therapy. I thought I knew everything … until…. I came to this forum and I was directed to “look in plain sight” for sources to my TMS. What does that mean? It means: something is making you so mad that you have TMS to keep you from...

Figuring out that self-consciousness and embarrassment are a big aspect of my TMS. I’m embarrassed to let my grown kids see how weak I am (can’t walk well due to symptoms.) I’m embarrassed to let friends see me. I’m embarrassed to let neighbors see me. I’m even embarrassed around my husband...

Hi! I’m a big fan of journaling. I’m literally learning more about myself from journaling than I ever thought possible. Anyway, a technique I found on the wiki by @AndrewMillerMFT looked interesting and I tried it. It was Really good! Per Andrew’s instructions, I come to find out (in my...

Hi I recently read The Mind Body Prescription because I have some form of TMS I believe I started applying some principles and I read every day the 12 daily reminders of Dr Sarno I also started journaling this week, but I'm definitely not sure if the way I do is good. This is how I process...

When I journal. I pay attention to my body. It has taught me that I have these anger “tells.” I had no idea they were my body’s way of talking. One of them is what people might call restless leg syndrome. My leg will just spastically kick or twitch. This has gone on for years. Just randomly. I...

What do people try after TMS methods? I’ve been trying TMS stuff for over 3 years and have had no results. Very depressing when I see all the success stories. Guess you can file me in the failure stories. Any ideas on what to do next?

So, I’ve been journaling up a storm, and uncovering some surprise layers of rage and even sorrow. Meanwhile, my symptoms are spiking like crazy. I’m so tempted to get discouraged. Because I’m working really hard and it feels like I’m getting nowhere. Well, I take that back. I’m definitely...

Long story short- I have massive TMS. And it’s been really bad the past 3 years. I tried everything I could think of. Then came to the wiki 3 months ago. Game changer! There is so much knowledge here flowing freely from good kind souls willing to guide you. Just coming off 2 hours of...

This is a song by singer songwriter, Tracy Chapman from the 1990s. I used to love it and I only recently thought of it again. I think all my journaling for TMS healing prompted it. And also telling my truths on this wiki. I recently —well a year ago— joined Al-anon. It’s a 12 step program for...

A great surprise happened for me today! One of my worst triggers is when I spend time with my adult kids. Today was Mother’s Day and 2 of my kids and one daughter-in-law came over. Another of my triggers is walking (in my walker, or otherwise) in front of people. I lock up and get almost like...

I joined this wiki 3 months ago, and I’ve had TMS for years. Some of my TMS episodes I have fought off. Right now I am in a stubborn episode with multiple symptoms. Here are a few of the things I’ve learned to be true so far, based on what I’ve learned from this wiki and it’s free classes: The...

Hi everyone, I guess what is “normal,” when it comes to TMS? At any rate, as you know, I had a big week last week, fighting through my agoraphobia and pain and getting out of the house for the first time in months. At first I was in such a high—even though nothing really had changed except my...

Please ignore this post if you regularly keep a journal and feel free and liberal to write whatever thoughts and things that you are totally enraged about in a totally free and unrestricted fashion. Writing out everything that has ever enraged you throughout your life and getting it out in plain...

Nicole Sachs is a national treasure for TMS knowledge, people - I don't mind saying so. I don't listen every week, but I should, because I'm amazed at what she has to offer. This MUST LISTEN episode dropped yesterday. To to her main podcast page at The Cure for Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs...

Here’s a talk about journalling and chronic pain, particularly Rheumatoid Arthritis: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001k0wg (Just One Thing - with Michael Mosley - Write It Out - BBC Sounds)

I urge you (Yes, you, reading this now) to listen to Nicole Sach's most recent podcast (S3, E19), titled Am I "Journaling My Way Into Depression?" She addresses, very clearly and convincingly, the necessity of buckling down and doing whatever it takes to get through the worst part of recovery...

In July of 2017, I woke up one Saturday morning, rolled over and my back completely seized up, paralyzing my legs and torso. On a pain scale of one to ten, it was a twenty… worse than anything I had ever felt, including childbirth. I was terrified as I tried in vain to move or get up. I called...

Hi I’ve had daily back pain for over 4 years. Got another MRI planned in January but the scan two years ago was clear, nothing to report. I am journaling and meditating. My back pain is worse in bed and morning. It’s actually worst in my sides just beneath the rib cage, I wake up every day...
