Love what you've said! I don't think I totally understand the subconscious concept that I've been hearing about regarding this. But yeah, facing fear is definitely my interpretation of it - as if it helps reprogram the subconscious? Maybe another thread talks about this in detail? *wondering*  |

I tried to cure anxiety for years, then gave up on life totally.
Neither works.
If I could go back in time and talk to my young self I would tell me to completely ignore it, feel the pain, keep busy and never think about it ever again. |

Good link, thank you, but looooong! It'll take me a while to get through it, but some bits really resonated with me.
Today I googled, in exasperation, 'I feel ill all the time' and got LOADS of links up to anxiety sites! In one, No More Panic, the posters were saying that they feel ill all the time in vague ways - nausea, abdominal discomfort, headache, eye strain, sore all over (oh yes!), fatigue and fogginess - and that they KNOW it is anxiety - seems they've hit on the Sarno theory without realising it!
One of them said it felt, every day, like they were coming down with a virus, and this is something I get too. You start to wonder how other people feel, not waking up like that every day, and you feel jealous of them! I've been up against lots of TMS symptoms lately, and knowing what they are, I do my best to ignore them, laugh at them. I know, as Wodg seems to be saying, that the best thing for me is to get on with life. But it's hard when it's a general feeling of 'unwellness'. It saps your energy, both physical and psychic. It 'plays on your nerves'!
I do know that I can't pin anxiety down as a cause or an effect of TMS - I think it's both. I would rather not take drugs if I can help it, but I feel sometimes your system gets so overwhelmed that it needs a 'time out', so in those circumstances I will take a small dose of propranolol (beta blocker). It seems to help.
I know this post is a bit of a ramble, but hope that last bit might help someone!
