Hi,

I am struggling with severe back pain for a couple of months now, and I think that it might be due to the TMS syndrome, because all physical treatments failed, and I have a long history of depression and severe anxiety, practically since I was a child. 

Shortly and vaguely said, the TMS syndrome is based primarily on **repressed emotions**, but I am not sure if that is what I am struggling with. I have so much pain inside, but I do cry a lot nowadays (mostly because I am so miserable and depressed because of my physical disability), I did cry before the last back pain attack, and I am dealing with anger for a couple of years now as well. The point is that I do express emotions in private quite a lot. 

I do repress them at work or among people and friends, but at home, I can go crazy, cry for hours, and sometimes even smash things just because I am full of anger... So, I am just not sure if I can say that I have “repressed emotions” since I am expressing them in private quite often, but maybe there are still many things deep down in my psyche I do not know about. I hope that it makes sense.

Thank you.
