Tom, right now the only people in my life that I feel comfortable discussing TMS with is my parents. My parents are behind me mainly because they know about my history with anxiety attacks and being so easily stressed out. My dad has suggested that I go on an antidepressent, but I know this is against the Sarno way and will cause me more pain in the end. I'm havin trouble getting this through to him, but Sarno's concepts are so "out-there" when compared to Western medicine, this is understandable.
As far as my friends are concerned, they aren't the reason I don't openly discuss my condition. I am embarassed (mainly due to the fact that this is groin pain) and feel like I will be seen as crazy and ostrisized (sp?). But in reality, if I sat down with a Sarno book and explained to my friends what was going on, I imagine some of them would actually listen.

GT, that's great that you're parents are with you, they're the important ones. Nothing wrong with taking anti-depressants if they're needed, the right one for you, and prescribed by a competent physician for the short term to get you through a rough patch. But, are you depressed? Why does your dad feel they would be helpful. You don't sound depressed, just like a "normal" college kid trying new stuff with a lot of peer and stress creating normal life pressures. I can't quote you chapter and verse but I believe Dr. Sarno mentions anti-depressants, read the books and do a search here using the "SEARCH" tab above right. Don't be mixing the drugs with a the booze though. I've seen some reports in TMS complementary back books using small doses of anti-depressants, Celexa, I think. They do make you kinda' "separated" from the now. If your "now" is a highly anxious worried state, then it might be beneficial for a short stint. But, you sound like you're looking to party so that doesn't sound so depressed--this is all speculation since I don't know you. Why does your dad think you could use them?

I don't know, maybe he just doesn't know that much about the matter and is trying to help.
And just so you can know me better, I am a post-college student. I graduated in December and got a job right out of college, so I guess I'm in the transitional stage between college and "the real world".
As far as being depressed, I wouldn't say that my life is "depressing". But I do worry a lot about things. I give myself irrational thoughts that people don't like me, and I'm a people-pleaser by the book. It bothers me when other people don't seem to be happy, and I sacrifice my own happiness for others regularly. I used to see this as one of my strengths, but apparently it has been causing me harm.

I actually live in Lexington, KY now with my new job. I haven't been able to find any TMS physicians here in Kentucky yet.

There aren't any listed, maybe you won't need one if you're getting it on your own. Keep reading your Sarno. |
