Right guys....this is just thoughts right...
One of sarnos reasons for us to be inwardly angry is our mortality....
For me realising this sovlved majority of my pain...well leaset got me to the point where im not scared to do everything again....
Well this got me to thinking 'life is what we do to distract us away from our own death'...
Some people work real hard
Some help others
In fact just about everything we do is to distract ourselves from our own end.
People here its largely TMS
Ongoing pain has to be TMS after all the pointof pain is to warn us of danger ie hand in fire...after it heals pain should.....
its funny i feel a kinda wisdom in these thoughts yet now i know the cause of my pain ie my TMS ..my own mortality!!! I see why i used to choose TMS!!!! my mortality scares me to death!!!!!
Be kinda interested to see if anyone responds!!!
PS for those of you that just come on here to bicker....you guessed it ...TMS
Love to all

I don't think fear of your own mortality kicks in until your parents and /or older relatives reach the ends of their lives. So, for most people that's late 40s and 50s...or that was the case for me.
Maybe the many illnesses of old age are TMS induced!
I have no suggestions as to how you come to terms with your own mortality. Death is a subject we avoid in the western world so perhaps journalling about it, or just recognising the fact of our mortality on a regular basis, would alleviate some of the fear.

I fear death ever since I was 17 when I almost died. But it's a weird thing. I know it's a big TMS related problem for many people, but personally it doesn't cause me any symptoms (I think). I hate it but it's a fact of life. However, what does depress me to death (not literally) is the fact I'm getting older. And I'm 'only' 23. I wish I was 16 again and I would do so many things differently.
The future started a long time ago and today is never coming back.

Well I can attest to this. Worst TMS pain the week I turned 40. Would never have made the connection until Dr. Sarno asked me about my pain history, and I realized it was that very week I started getting a lot of pain.
Did some writing on it--ended up being many pages more than I anticipated! It is something I wouldn't have thought of. But I must find it enraging! 
Though I must say after my TMS experience I am in better emotional and physical shape at 40.75 than I was at 40!

I am young but I have seen my parents begin to age, and I think it can make a big difference if you see yourself as static/going downhill vs. if you see yourself as still having big possibilities for growth, learning, renewal. As Lori said, you can be in better shape when older than when young in some ways, if you take care of yourself and keep believing you can change and grow.
I have many issues with my parents as their child, but I admire them greatly nonetheless. They have worked hard on improving their emotional well-being and the way they relate to people, and both of them have undertaken challenging new careers in areas related to their successful 'first careers'. They are still active and healthy and when I talk to them I can see them experiencing the same struggle that I am, how to live life to the fullest, stay balanced and be happy with where they are. They are very much alive and not static, and both I believe are better off than they were 5 or 10 years ago. Aging is not fun for anyone but it's not a process of inevitable degeneration, and remembering that I suspect can help with fear of aging and dying.

Pherhaps a bit off-topic, but if mortality concerns you, The Fountain (2006) (by Darren Aronofsky, the Requiem for a Dream guy) is really a beautiful film to watch.
-edit-
To be clear, it has nothing to do with TMS just a great film.
