Well, still having the perineum and tailbone pains, sometimes at different times sometimes on both or one side and sometimes in my groin.
(although not as bad as before I went to the doctor)
Been through alot, girlfriend broke up with me in December, my mom is moving 6 hours away with her abusive husband in June, lost my job in March. Have a new girlfriend who is nice but I am not into her like I should be but still trying to enjoy our time together.
I have a problem letting go of ex's who usually break up with me, therapist said these women are similar to my mom that's why they are always letting me down and I have a hard time shaking it.
Can't really do the things I want to, when I get anxious or get really busy I notice I do not have pains.
Saw TMS doctor and he concluded TMS. Need therapy but can't find a job.
This tms thing is tricky, I ve beaten it before with widespread pain that I think could have been diagnosed as fibromyalgia. Was in horrible pain for year's, yet this little dull back and fourth pain I cant shake.
Any advice would be appreciated. I have not been journaling just reading MBP, maybe it's time to go back, whats therapeutic for everyone out there?
I find visualization and affirmations do not work for me because it just makes be long for things harder and more obsessively |

It seems like you have a lot of insight into yourself and are accepting the TMS diagnosis. Yet, it is a difficult habit to break, as evidenced by the fact that you still pay attention to the pain.
I suggest to re-read The Mindbody Connnection and keep diving deeper into the sources of repressed rage.
Since you are left with only dull pain that moves around, you should be convinced the pain is psychogenic. Consider it a victory that the pain is not nearly as horrible as it was. Attribute this to your newfound knowledge and acceptance of TMS.
However, the journey never ends, it is a life-long change in the way you think about and react to the symptoms. Continue to do the work every day and trust the pain will fade on its own. When you are aware of it, consider it a signal to address your emotional health. |

If visualization and affirmations are making you obsess too much than try switching things up, either by doing new techniques or changing how you are doing your current ones.
Dave's advice is also terrific. It may seem odd, but having symptoms move around is a good sign that you both have TMS and are making progress. If you were not making progress you unconscious would have no need to move the symptoms around. If you continue to do the work without worrying about what your symptoms are doing, they will eventually fade away.
