anxiety

I don't consider myself a depressive person but know I suffer from regular anxiety. I consistently overcome that anxiety to do some cool things and it does not debilitate me. But every December I struggle with circumstantial /holiday season-stress chronic pain. You name it, I feel it...

Hello all. I found Sarnos work a few months ago now and have read Mind-Body Prescription a few times as well as Dr Claire Weekes Pass Through Panic. I am now doing Schubiners 28 day Unlearn Your Pain workbook. Anyways, I wanted to start a new thread to discuss all my nasty symptoms in the hopes...

My daughter just had her second baby. A happy occasion but one that is causing me a lot of anxiety. The anxiety started before the baby was born because her first labor was complicated and traumatic and I was her main support during the process so I was scared about going through it all again...

I've been a worrier since I can remember. Worrying about everything, all the time. Some days I find myself so distracted by worries, unfounded fears, and irrational anxieties. And that's the thing- 99% of it is irrational and unnecessary, but when I'm in it I rarely am able to see the...

Hi Guys, I have been pretty much pain free apart from the odd flare up. My TMS was mostly relating to eye strain and headaches. Lately, I've been getting really strong Anxiety. I think it stemmed from a few things: 1. My Grandad passed away 2. The same day, my wife announced she was pregnant...

If you are reading this, you probably have read countless stories of people in pain. My story isn't any different. Years of mysterious pain. What started in my back, became headaches, hip/leg pain, heartburn, stomach issues, anxiety, sleep problems, MRI's, bulging discs, 'structural imbalances'...

Hi all! I’m new here, and I suffer a lot now. Excuse my english, as it’s not my native tounge. I could write a book about my story snd symptoms, but to make it short: I have a history of anxiety, panic attacks, POTS, fatigue and different pains and aches. Anxiety started in my 20’s, one year...

Greetings all... hope this finds you well. So, I've had a stress disorder for about 9 years. (Every symptom in the book.) Mostly panic/anxiety related but lots of physical issues. As some may recall, I'm a few months into a spell of balance/dizzy issues. (Strong, daily and constant.) I have...

Past few days have been eye openers for me.i realised I was living in a lot of fear and anxiety. I used a punching bag to take out some emotions and I think it worked(any other better way?). My pain has reduced by about 40 percent and it is moving around. But what I constantly think is how 3...

Based on my personal observation that anxiety exacerbates TMS, I think this article from my weekly "best of NPR" email should be of interest if not importance to all of us here: https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/07/18/620074926/empowering-kids-in-an-anxious-world (Empowering Kids In An...

IBS and anxiety are my main TMS symptoms and they are both acting up at the moment, triggered by painful surgery in June on the sole of my foot. The wound became infected and I was put on a course of antibiotics, which my gut doesn't like at the best of times and this time it has let me know in...

this the story of my father, now 85. And it is of course part of my story. Because I have been affected all my life of my fathers anxiety to be ill. He has irritable bowel syndrome and then a myriad of small things that fill his everyday life with anxiety, but I guess for him also with meaning...

I've known for the past three years that my lower back pain is related directly to my anxiety. So I'm wondering how the diagnosis of TMS will work for me? It's not a revelation to me at all. It just has a name now. I'm wondering how the TMS program will work for me. I'm so desperate for relieft...

If I understand correctly pain is a danger signal from the brain. What is the purpose of anxiety? Also danger? I feel anxiety every day, for many years now. Most of the time for no particular reason. I'm just afraid something bad is going to happen. Anything really, my mind always comes up...

Have been good for a couple weeks from low back pain and sciatica. Been hiking and staying active. Played some soccer yesterday and today I’m moving like a mummy. My left hip and low back feel like they’re going to spasm. I’m off on vacation and have a family trip to the beach coming up on...

Finished Dr. Sarno's book last week, and was convinced. So happy to learn about what I have and to hear about the success stories. I felt excited and hopeful for the first time in years. Started my journaling, and will pace myself towards getting my life back. For almost 20 years I've...

Hi. I have had MANY manifestations of TMS over the last 30+ years. Small / short-term symptoms reoccur several times every year and I can "think" them away. But about once a year I get symptoms that force me to get back into the studying of Dr. Sarno / TMS material and this eventually...

Hello, I have a history of TMS. When I was 15 I developed chronic pelvic pain that lasted for a few months. Then I developed really bad anxiety. Then really bad burning foot pain on my heels that lasted for 2 years that I was actually able to cure by reading Sarno's books. Then that year I had...

Does anyone have any other suggestions for getting rid of anxiety? I read Claire Weekes and at first it seemed useful, I have this problem practically at any moment in everything I do, every appointment I have, every people I meet. . always. I know anxiety increases during work for tms. . but I...

I've had all over body pain and dizziness for more than two years. It got severe enough to stop me from working and studying. I have known it is TMS for more than a year now, I've had some improvements, but in the last couple months I've started to have physical anxiety symptoms (which I've...
