Chronic epididymitis-TMS? HELP
Hello there. It's been a long long time since I've posted on here... but I haven't really expressed my success story. Zerkon, I suffered with this and lot she of other health issues for a long time. I didn't believe it was mental because the pain was so real. But I am now a complete believer. Long story short- the pain stopped when I stopped giving a toss about it!! It just vanished.

A lot of people on here will tell you to confront your emotions (as that's what's causing the pain), which yes, I agree to a certain extent. But if you want the pain to go away you need to start LIVING. The more you 'confront it' the more you inforce and think about it. Like you're not normal. YOU ARE NORMAL. Be who you were before it started. Go out and have a laugh. Get hooked on that film saga you love. Your mind needs to genuinely be occupied, because right now its fixated only on your health and pain. Whether its testicle pain or any other.

All my health issues have gone. I can't say I'm 100% loving life. I suffer from really bad anxiety that I'm tackling with my day to day life. And it's no coincidence that I got 'TMS', because I have my anxiety disorder. I am currently going through counselling for it, which does really help. I used to be so against 'talking therapy'. Just being able to have someone who understands you, from which you can vent to, is amazing. All the best zerkon and everybody else on here suffering. Thanks to everyone who helped me in my journey.
