I'm so sick and tired of this shit. I do keep going out and doing shopping amd walking onto town going for dinner and I just keep getting worse. I am angry, but I also don't know what else to do as its constant and heighten nerve pain in my chest and face. I have journalled , I get why I'm here but I'm also lost x Thank you Jim. I appreciate your videos. I have joined a few tms forums and groups ...Still here ...❤
So relevant to me atm and so true. Have been so angry at how restricted my life is but equally so fearful that if i did the activities i wanted to do the symptoms would get worse. A few days ago i just said 'fu*ck it' and did it anyway. I think just burning off that excess anger/fight energy helped to calm the NS and restricting your life through fear creates a lot of anger too. Appreciate the videos man always touch on some good points and delivered calmly
You are a wise man Jim! Woke up this morning feeling exactly like you talked about. Fed up! You have such insight into the emotional layers of healing. Thanks for all your videos ❤❤
Yes I'm totally disgusted and angry most of the time....tired of the brain ruling the roost!! My symptom is 24/7 dizziness....and other related symptoms
Absolutely sick and tired of the symptoms. Yet because one of them is disturbing scary eye symptoms it’s hard to lose the fear because I never know what will happen.
I really like this message and the energy brought today. I’ve been feeling this way lately, questioning what the hell my brain is trying to tell me. I get it already and it ain’t working so cut it out!
I woke up feeling so sick and tired of my symptoms! FED UP! I didn't really know just what I needed so I prayed for guidance " show me what I need". And your new video popped up first thing! Thank you so much. This is perfect timing. Sending you so many blessings ❤
How you doing? I'm no doctor but I've been studying these health things now a lot on my own and a burning mouth could be from estrogen loss if you in that phase of women's life and hrt could help with it, or sometimes achy mouth is related to low iron levels, so if this can help you - check those at the doctors, they have tests and you could get help asap. Best wishes!
I love this video I'm so fu....... fed up with this sh... working on overcoming those things that scare me cutting the seat post down on my bike so that I can first put my feet on the ground first ! small step everyday even though I may have those tears in my eyes!
Emotions are human. Feel it to heal it. Let them come up and out. Compassion burnout is real for care takers. Find an outlet esp group not to just talk but more to just be, laugh and have fun if even for 1 hr. Takes effort at first but worth it. Also write but not to journal - no rereading (to judge and dwell) rip up after and toss. Good luck.
I can't be the only person who just can't get to that strong foundation of belief that I'm fine. That is holding me back, I know. But unlike some people, I haven't had doctors tell me there's nothing wrong with my back, just that they have seen spines like mine (scoliosis, arthritis, disk degeneration, bulging disks) where people don't have pain. And Dr. Schubiner says all those things "could" be TMS, but I have had doctors say the pain "could" be coming from the facets, the disks or nerves, and brought on my scoliosis, posture etc. One of my docs said she believes all pain is bio-psycho-social and it's good to work the TMS angle, but as Jim says in this video, you need the foundation of believing there's nothing wrong with you for this to work, and I don't have that foundation. Am I doomed to have this not work?
I zm so done! 2 years of this and the symptom imperative just keeps pushing more fear bait that sucks me in to believing something is serious only to find out its just more TMS,especially in my chest the spasms,muscle pain and popping and anxiety it brings on is a nightmare. I just keep saying its just TMS move on and calml myself but its hanging on. All this started after i got covid and my mom died i cant even grieve properly because i think im dying.
I have moved from anxiety to anger. I am so sick and tired of Restless Legs disturbing my sleep. I talk to my brain, but the action-part is more difficult because I am so tired from not getting enough sleep.
Im all in for the taking action. We need resources (and many have been mentioned by Jim!) and I also think self-compassion for ourselves (not just the BS we are going through, but for the anger or any other trigger along the way) can play a useful role. There's been a fair amount of evidence for example that mindfulness based compassion can really help release and relieve negative feelings and overall anxiety. It may not stop the BS, its not a panacea, but it gives us some refuge and some recognition of what we need atm (or what parts of us need to recognize/hear from ourselves), and a place from which to better stand up for ourselves against the BS.
What about indifference? I've tried the I'm not going to take this anymore approach but feel that puts me into annoyance and frustration. I'm finding that after a long hard day at work, I have a stressful job, on the way home my leg will start to play up. I say to myself that's ok, this is not dangerous and I don't care. Stay if you want. Usually by the time I'm home its gone. I guess different strategies work for different people.
Very nice information regarding these episodes, l do stationary bike riding and looking at the sky with very nice patterns this helps me to relax. Many thanks Jim for your kindness please inform me how I can talk to you regarding one to one connection. Blessings and peace for all in this situation.

If anyone here suffers from anything chronic please look up medical medium books. These symptoms are not in your head they aren’t caused by stress it’s not just anxiety! There are real physical causes, stress is a trigger not cause. You can heal and you can heal naturally.
The symptoms are very real and not in our heads! But they are often created by the brain or nervous system. For me, stress, anxiety, perfectionism, suppressed emotions, etc are ABSOLUTELY the cause.
