Stop doing that Pan, it will not do you any good. Trust this advice from someone who has been there and done that. The time you spend collecting information could be put to way better use. |

Yeah, I know shawn but its a bit like that scratching at an itch or picking a scab scenario.
It's a bit like Googling in my health anxiety days...it's like you think you are suddenly going to unearth this golden nugget of wisdom that makes everything makes sense and applies to you and allows you to move on, of course the reality is you can read/watch the same stuff over and over and fall into that trap of mental masturbation with all the info...I think Monte is right when he says that the endless research of TMS is actually TMSing in itself.
I know the cure resides in the world of the emotional and the fact I'm so emotionally numb in regards to my mums recent death is a big clue that more may be going on then meets the eye but everything is still being researched, analysed, scrutinised in a logical and methodical manner....not the way to go I know.
I have an appointment with a TMS practioner here in the UK on Tuesday. My concern with this is just as an osteo/chiro will always diagnose a structural problem I'm sure a TMS practioner is go find the psychological...I'm a bloody poster child for TMS and literally have the top 10 stressors in that profile thing but does that really mean a thing? In actual fact I'm totally confused as to why in going to see the chap as I just can't see how a TMS diagnosis can really be given.
Oh, I'm waffling agin...been a cruddy week and I'm having a pity party...apologies.
Wake me up with your amphetamine blast
Take me by the collar and throw me out into the world
Rock me gently & send me dreaming of something tender
I was brought here to pay homage to the beat surrender

Sorry to hear of the passing of your mom.
Monte is 100% correct. He consistently gives sound advice. Resist the urge and use some positive affirmations to counter the incessant mind-chatter. Eventually, with time and effort, this urge will recede into the background. I am not saying stop reading altogether, but just not so much as it is information overload. There is no shortchut to healing. As I said, it takes time and effort as well as a whole lot of patience. Please reflect upon the words contained in this thread: http://tmshelp.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=8227 |

Pan, I assume that you have seen the last post from Monte. One of the sound advice he gives is the following:
3. Do not keep searching outside yourself for the answers to TMS. This includes help/support groups, internet searching or believing that you must be diagnosed by a TMS doctor before you can accept TMS. This type of searching (distraction) will usually “feed” the strategy or is your “crutch” for not beginning your own genuine “inner work/change”. |

Thanks for taking the time to reply everybody.
I'm actually just sat waiting for my appointment with the TMS practioner...have had a couple of days going over the pros and cons and just came to the opinion that I knew I would end up seeing somebody at some point so I figured better sooner rather than later.
Oh well, interesting to see how this pans out...no pun intended, ;)
