pressure

My current obsession is the figure skating at the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics - where, along with many stunning performances, we saw the results of Pressure play out in front of a world audience. There are also a ton of stories about resiliency and perseverance in the face of pressure. I was...

This issue started about 8 years ago with a broken tooth on my back bottom left. Was advised to have a bridge and have the tooth pulled. After the oral surgeon extracted the tooth I was soon fitted with a bridge.Thats when it all started. 1,Started having discomfort resonating through the...

Hi there I've been experiencing dizziness and nerve sensations all over my head including pressure and tingling. The thing that's bothering me the most is a sick feeling I get to do with the back of my head, very top of neck. It almost feels like a hang over. Different parts on the back of my...

I used to start this story by saying that my pain started with back pain back in 2015 but the more and more I learn about TMS and its patterns I am realizing that my TMS actually started when I was only just 14 years old. Such a baby:( I have always put a lot of pressure on myself. I do feel...

hey all, if someone feels like giving a peptalk, I'm open to it :p Yesterday I tried pushing through but well, it backfired. Today I'm sleeping and laying in bed with 2 extra symptoms. I don't take them seriously because it's obviously my brain pushing back but it's like, damn. ok. feeling a...

Over the past few weeks and months, I have shutting down. I’m the kind of person that even when “relaxing,” I would go overboard. I would read two books at a time while trying to write a novel which I would pretend would become a series which I would pretend needs to be finished within months...

Hey all! I’m realizing that the pressure that I put on myself is one of the main stressors in my life and I’d love to hear if you have any no pressure spins you’ve been able to put on some of you’re pressure thoughts. For example(I think I may have posted this example on a reply somewhere else...

While dealing with 'cubital tunnel syndrome' i wear an elbow splint to sleep. I have tried a few different ones and have ran into a common issue. First, to keep them in place you have to tighten the top and bottom straps pretty well which may put a little pressure on the nerve up higher and...

Hello All, Yes I've had tms for long time now, actually anxiety as well esp while stressful times but not as bad. I went to the dentist and my blood pressure was high. Didn't help that the doctor kept telling me to go to my physician . I tried to tell him I have the white coat syndrome but he...

I'm truly mind blown that I have been pain free for a week, from my original low back pain. I've been bendin down, pickin things up .. I started going to a martial arts gym (because I deemed this the most mentally AND physically challenging thing I could do).. That "fuck it, let's go for it"...

A few months ago, my opthalmologist indicated I had high eye pressure (intraocular pressure). I scheduled a follow up appointment several weeks later and the eye pressure was lower but still high. Next, I scheduled a consultation with a second opthalmologist. This time, eye pressure in one of...

Today I had some sensations that brought up the panicky fears. When this happens it is my opportunity do do a little more tms “work” gain some insights. Like most people “think psychological” is usually my 2nd go to. At first, I react with the old patterns of thought. It takes a lot of...

For a long time I have been dealing with Pelvic floor pain/tension which prevents me from enjoying sex. My theory on why I have this tension is because I am really concerned about my performance in bed. Constantly when I'm about to have sex I get worries in my head that I will cum fast and not...

One question that I get often is, “Am I journaling correctly?” Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: I completely understand the question and the worry behind it. I felt the same while going through my healing journey. We want to know that we are doing everything we can possibly do the best way...

Hello, First time posting on here, hoping to get some reassurance that what I am experiencing is TMS so I can start on my healing journey. I’ve had a myriad of symptoms that started February 2020. My symptoms include vertigo, nausea, back pain, jaw pain, twitching ALL OVER my body, numbness...

I've written a number of posts on this website in the past. To me, TMS makes a lot of sense but either I have not effectively implemented treatment or I am missing the mark (like maybe symptoms are due to something else). I am in the midst of a number of stressful situations. I am in the...

Hi I was suffering from real bad anxiety for a month and a half. It was making me have an anxious poo every morning when i woke up like clockwork. The poop was fine, a little loose but nothing worrying. As my anxiety wore off I stopped having these nervous poops but I was constantly thinking and...
