Balto just read through your thread today and it’s truly inspiring. I realise you have healed n I totally get the message about Fear being the no 1 issue.
If it wasn’t for your post or others like baseball etc I would not have believed 100 per cent in a cure so please please keep posting wisdom as you have no idea how much you are helping others including me.
When I get to that place myself I affirm I will defo check in often to repay those others.
 
5 years and 2 days ago I came here to write my first post. Where did the time go? wow! Amazing, time did flew .
I'm still alive, I just don't stop by here as often as I used to anymore. I think I ran out of new thing to write about. I found that I keep repeating myself. Also, I saw many of the people I used to see here are no longer coming here. It feel like going to an old bar and not seeing your old friends there anymore. The new people and all wonderful but somehow it just don't feel the same. It still is a wonderful community but I just don't feel like I have much more to contribute.

I am still alive and kicking. I am on this TMS band wagon for more than 30 years now and I'm tms free for more than 15 years. This is my 5th years anniversary at this forum, I just want to tell everyone that tms can be defeat, you can live a healthy and happy life free of tms. I did it and thousand and thousand of people did it. Once it click with you, once you see the "way" , it is very easy to defeat. It is very very simple of get rid of tms. If you read my first post here you will see that I talked a lot about fear. I truly believe that fear is one of the biggest reason tms symptoms stay with us. If we somehow can get rid of our fear we will get rid of our symptoms. No matter what method you use, no matter what teaching you follow, if you still fear your symptoms you will never be able to get rid of your tms.

Fear only exist in our head. Fear is a horror movie and we are the director. It is a movie no one want to watch. :) So why not stop making horror movies and start making comedy or love movie? We put to much negative emotion into our mind and we suffer.

People who are happy, at peace and content with life rarely get sick.
Just want to leave you with this very inspiring speech I watch on you tube today, I love it:
Christ that video certainly got my emotions going and my ass kicked today Balto fkn brilliant
 
I am also glad you have joined the forum. Your story has resonated with me greatly. I first found out about John Sarno just over a year ago. Although I am now as active as I was before getting the pain, I still have pain non-stop. I have put a lot into getting better, but I know the big thing for me is the fear. I am consumed with it. I just wish I could stop my brain thinking about the pain. I am ashamed to say that I don't suppose it is possible for me to get through even 5 minutes without my thoughts going to it. Even when I am asleep, I am aware as I turn over in bed, checking with the pain. I am encouraged to take on your words about beating the fear and thanks for sharing your story.


This might be against the classic advice, but I found that obsessive fear thoughts about pain are easier to deal with by NOT fighting them. Not trying to think positive. Because I felt like, "They say I shouldn't monitor the pain, but I'm doing it right now," only made it worse. Positive thinking made me feel deep inside that I was faking it in a way that wasn't helpful. So I stopped trying to control my thoughts in the same way I stopped trying to control the pain. Surrender to it. Let it be. When I find myself monitoring and thinking and fearing, I say, "Here I am doing it again. Yep. That's what I'm doing. Fine think about it. Don't stop thinking about it!" And then go on doing as best I can what I would be doing anyway. This might not be the best way to deal with it, but it is a way. It can help to loosen the grip it has on you. It has helped me.
