What the heck has happened to me? Turned from a confident young man ready to take on the world to an older fearful, depressive, anxious, mentally weak person mostly because of fear caused legitimate physical ailments and pain I experience and what my life will be like in the future and will I be in constant pain. This adversely affects other parts of my life and I have become mentally weak I all aspects of life. Wasted so many years of my life like this. Moments of sanity here and there that can last for weeks but then fall back into the same old pattern which as many of you know is hard to break out of it. Just ranting here a little as it feels good to just scream out to people that probably understand my battle.
I see it as being quite the opposite.I don't see myself as mentally weak, II think a lot of us have gone through a real lot in life that finally brought us to where we are now. And I think a lot of us probably endured things that most people could not. And to survive all of that plus this, makes us warriors. Your not weak, you actually probably take on more than most people could.
Im terrified first thing in morning and terrified I'll never have a morning ever again without pain and I'll never have a normal life again. I haven't been able to work in 16 months and now homeless at 65. I am more terrified by the consequences of the pain than the pain itself.
I'm terrified because I applied for over 1,000 jobs on Linkedin and indeed etc and found out all the job postings are "fake" . If one gets an interview the company puts the candidate through two months of grueling interviews only to ghost the candidate near the end. There are many true horror stories about the job market -and I cannot go through another 2008 economic crash because that is what gave me TMS. The terror of being homeless and starving to death was very real after the 2008 crash and I almost died - I survived barely and now I have had TMS for seven years of which I only diagnosed myself a year ago. I cannot live with no money or income. This is not helping me get over TMS and no one wants to talk about it here. Life circumstance that a severe do affect your health.
Yes, they do. Financial insecurity, substandard housing or housing insecurity, difficult personal relationships, isolation and loneliness all cause significant emotional stress. If there's already existing trauma from past experiences, this can impact it in a major way. Watch Phil's rheumatoid arthritis story, where he says he's aware that his physical problems are a direct result of his stress, and recognises that all his issues are stress-induced.
I am so frustrated. There is absolutely no external issues that I and perceiving as dangerous to explain why this pelvic pain will not subside. I have a great job, I have a great relationship, I have a roof over my head and plenty of food and a great social life. The only stress or issues I have been experiencing over the last year's are solely the discomfort of this pain. No matter how much fun I'm having or distraction or anything I'm doing it's always there, there should be absolutely no reason this should still be persisting. Where is the danger? Cuz I just don't understand
You're kind of saying that you should be alright, but maybe you're not focusing on do you actually feel alright? maybe you're suppressing some emotions? Could be about your situation now or something in the past. Just something to think about. For example I figured out most of my danger signals come from my control issues. I would've never noticed it as much if not for meditating, when I noticed I want to change sensations in my body and I can't just observe them. So I think it inevitably gives a danger signal and the pains that could go away fast otherwise just become chronic.
@@butanywhere well that's definitely something I started considering. Because it's not any of the things I mentioned I guess if it is I just have to figure out what emotion or feeling or behavior is sending my brain a message of non-safety
❤ thanks Dan I want to say I'm not terrified maybe at times frustrated and worried I remind myself what this is and ask God for emotional mental and physical healing. One day at a time
Close family member passed yesterday afternoon.🙏 It was also my dad's anniversary. Feel a bit numb today but grateful I bit the bullet to go and see him one more time, I was terrified I wouldn't cope, I did. 👏 Today's my birthday and am grateful to embrace that, but will celebrate later in the week🎉. A reminder that life is short. We have to respond positively to get our life back. We can do this. ❤️🙏
Yes, I am terrified. I am terrified that my subconscious causes the symptoms while I sleep. Which means I have no choice over it. Especially during sleep. Can it be?
@@ZoeLanighan You are not alone - same symptoms but they do come and go. I tell the panic that it is ok and I understand and it goes for me - sometimes the sickness lasts the rest of the day. I feel to get outside as soon as possible helps.
@@ZoeLanighanMight be reflux. Do not take ppi 's. Anxiety disrupts digestion. I had to stop eating at 7pm made a big difference. I try to stick to regular meals and getting up to see pre dawn ( helps regulate circadian clocks) melatonin levels so crucial, so no screens at least hour before sleep. Maybe these things might help.
@@shelcruz9942acid reflux? Don't take ppi's. Obviously anxiety fight n flight disrupts digestion etc. I gave up eating after 7pm I try to see pre dawn, helps set melatonin levels, better sleep. Cortisol levels are naturally rising from 3pm. If too high, inflammation.
Me too. But think, thèse are terrified people in pain. Do not let yourself down bc of them. You dont know them. Think only about the positive stories like Dan and many many many others
I've been off here 6 weeks since blood clot diagnosis. I've lost my way. Yes I'm terrified. Anxiety. Can't get back to mine body. Can anyone relate please. Dvt not neuroplastic. But have so much psin and blood thinners mean no meds. Dan. Everyone really need help to help myself. Thanks.
What kind of blood clot? I had a pulmonary embolism, when the clot goes to the lung. Blood thinners are to stop the clot getting bigger and eventually your body will reabsorb the clot, it can take a year or so, could be just a few months depending on the size and placement of the clot. But since you are here 6 weeks later it seems to me you are doing well, anxiety is normal for anyone who has had a medical emergency, it gets better with time. Speak to your doctor about pain killers it depends on your blood thinners, I'm sure there's something your Doctor would allow you.
While a mindbody approach will not resolve a blood clot, the pain levels are determined by the brains perception of danger. aka fear. czcams.com/video/tNS0Eqn8N_0/video.html
Its a dvt. On injections. Huge anxiety and depressed. 74. Chronic pain. Abd only allowed paracetamol. I need to get gack on this. Thank you. @nicoleperron3315
I'm a little confused here, I'm a realist so I know its forever and that may not be long so there's that. So I can't make it disappear or get well, it is what it is, so I try to focus on other things and not think 🤔 but now I'm having wicked nightmares 😂 I think I shifted when my brain thinks about it
@@PainFreeYou when I had my pulmonary embolism they diagnosed me with another condition that just progressively gets worse, so that was two for the price of one 😂 then I came home and developed a really bad backache finally went to the hospital waited 8 hours to see a doctor, x-rays were closed in the middle of the night. The doctor thought it was a back sprain, didn't get better, switched to 3 different kinds of pain killers and months later called another ambulance, this time they took x-rays and found out that I also had osteoporosis and 11 fractures in my spine and a couple of broken ribs I must say the morphine did work, this also is a condition that will not heal. Spent two months in the hospital. Suffice it to say I now have 4 conditions that are not curable. I went from just thinking I caught some weird virus to having six specialists in a short amount of time and every time I see a doctor I have something to add to my collection. So now I have conflicting instructions because each specialist only focuses on their part of the body but I have to deal with the whole body at the same time. My one phobia is doctors and medical stuff, 😂 it would be so much easier if I was scared of snakes!
Hello Dan , I was introduced to Dr. Sarno’s ideas (The Divided Mind) a month ago, and I did your assessments for different areas of my body. Based on this I do seem to qualify for TMS for structural abnormalities of my back and neck (based on recent MRIs). In addition, doctors (more than 1 opinion) say I have grade 4 (the most severe form) on all surfaces of my basal thumb and are recommending surgery to remove the joint (basil thumb arthoplasty). My question is whether this severe structural abnormality could still be considered TMS? I was unable to ask that question in your assessment. And of course I am terrified at the prospect of another hand surgery (I had this procedure done earlier to the other hand and it was a long and painful recovery). I would be grateful for your opinion on this issue.
Unfortunately I don’t know the cause of my heart palpitations (heart skips/flutters). I also don’t know if there’s a permanent cure for them not knowing the true cause. So does this mean I cannot apply your technique to my situation? The fear of the unknown is debilitating.
"If I knew the symptoms were temporary would I still be terrified? The answer is no."
What a great way to reframe it.

@@stayred77 thank you! I have never looked at it that way, thank you for the different positive perspective!
Yes I’m terrified. I get terrified being alone in case something happens.
