Like an alcoholic I was addicted to this site. Listening to the stories of pain and frustration. Taking advice from all who gave it. Overloading my brain with tons of TMS symptomology and ways to cure myself. I became a TMS burnout.
So , I am just sneaking back this one time to let those of you who have been kind enough to listen and write to me that I am better.
The light at the end of tunnel is bright .
What did I do?.Who knows? It just happened.
I quit cold turkey..No more web site no more talking or reading about pain. AND coming clearly to the conclusion that because TMS is psychological it can disappear in a split second because my body is healthy. .Although I have known this from the start I don’t think I really understood it.
My brain may need some work and talk therapy is helpful. Accept and move on.

Hi Forest,
I do believe the thread "Sarno Approach " on the wiki put me back on track. It kind of set off the light bulb in my brain. I was never really comfortable reading about TMS symptoms but was so focused on this site and a cure I lost track of the Sarno Method and philosophy.
For some talking about their pain and sharing is helpful, but not for me. I suspect I might have turned the corner way before now if I had stuck with Dr. Sarno's directions and not given over my entire life to TMS.
LA KEVIN'S Cherokee story showed me that a focus on the negative was counter productive.
I knew all of this of course but I was becoming desperate and for a time found great consolation on the TMS Help Site. There is great comfort in knowing we are not alone..or is it misery likes company?
I no longer need to talk about TMS or get others to believe. Sometimes I might suggest to someone that they read Sarno but that is it.
I am appreciative of your support and more than delighted that I can share my good news with you and anyone else interested.
I am continuing my journey to wellness by going to talk therapy and not dwelling on TMS .
Have a great Thanksgiving.
I know I will as I have so much to be thankful for.
Marsha

Hi Marsha,
I'm so glad to hear that. As you know, it really bugged me that you were having so much difficulty.
It seems like you really internalized all of those ideas that were floating around in that thread about "Why do some people not get on with Dr. Sarno's method?" Did that thread help, or do you think that those ideas were already there? I know that you mentioned that LA_Kevin's post about the Cherokee story really helped.
The TMS approach wins again! It's amazing how people always seem to eventually reach some peace, even if it sometimes takes a long time.
