TMS - Tension Myositis Syndrome (or Too Much Suppression)

When I was 22, I took an opportunity to live and work abroad in Hungary. For a good chunk of that time I experienced intermittent digestive issues - vomiting, diarrhea, all that fun stuff. It was a mystery to me as I lived very clean and simple, prepared all my meals for myself, and never had any prior digestive issue. After some time it dawned on me that the source of my problem wasn’t in the food, water, or my microbiome - it was my thoughts! My lonely thoughts and homesickness masqueraded as a perpetual stomach flu.
