I sought help last week after a 4 years absense from any "major" relapse. The support and comments were right on target. It helped me to learn how to refocus and I also had to begin "reconditioning" some thoughts that I allowed to creep back in. Within a week I was cutting grass, started to run, and feeling preety darn good. I had to drive (over 3 hours one way) then back but with a stop. Some stiffness, no big thing. Woke up okay started the day fine, but this day was one I was dreading due to a family situation that was already scheduled. I was preparing for my anger and anxiety to be at top levels, I didnt't repress any thoughts, but I'm stiff as a rock and back to square one. I can "feel" the fear inside me. I have been reading past posts, I'm doing my best to do the psychological work. I just needed to write and get any feedback. The biggest fear is I haven't felt this severe pain in a long time even though I had similar anger and anxiety issues through the past 4 years. Did I get to cocky last week? Thank you. |

Have no fear.
Now that your brain "has the power" you will get over this minor setback in short order. Sounds like you are a pot of boiling water about to overflow. Maybe when you are alone in your house try beating up on a pillow, wringing towels and yell and curse like a sailor,,, try to let off some of this steam you call "preparing for my anger and anxiety". Go ahead, vent in a non-harmful way.
TMS uses fear as his best ally. Deny him this, have no fear. Sarno wins again!
Take care, -Stryder |

No, you didn't get cocky last week.
I occasionally have a "flare up" of wrist pain. I start to think "Wow, have I just been LUCKY for a couple of years, and now I have to start restricting all over again."
But, I just look to the phsychological. It never seems to help at the time, but I still do the "What's bothering me emotionally?" thing, and the pain sticks around for starters. I keep typing. It eventually goes away.
You're not cocky, just keep up the affirmations of the harmless effects of TMS - yada yada, and you'll win out too.
