I've had one session with the hypnotherapist and so far so good, only time will tell. It feels like a cloud has been lifted from above me. I have been at very low periods in my life where I have attempted suicide, and most recently when I had my car parked up (as I was putting water in it), actually contemplating going in front of the fast cars on the motorway...I wasn't consciously thinking it, which was the most frightening thing. I have always thought about suicide but after my first attempt, I saw what it did to my family and I couldn't do it, even though I hated being alive . This is my story for those that are interested:

Vicious Cycle....

I have tried anti depressants in the past and they haven't worked, and the thought of being on anti depressants all my life has been even more disheartening. So when someone suggested hypnotherapy, I thought it was better than the current predicament I was in. [edited] If you are fed up of feeling the way you do, and don't want to be on drugs for the rest of your life, I suggest going to see a hypnotherapist. Get your life back :)

Best Wishes

I'm glad to hear your hypnotherapy helped, tryingtobepositive, and don't feel bad for contemplating suicide......all humans have thought about it, in my belief, not just depressed people. Think about the effect of someone looking over a cliff, depressed or not, that person WILL think about hurling themself off it, even if just for a second.

Thanks for the suggestion of hypnotherapy, tryingtobepositive, and the idea of being on anti-depressants all my life worries me too, but if I have to, I will, I guess.

Good luck, and I hope it keeps helping.

It only works if you want it to work and you believe it will work. It is just a placebo effect. A bullshit waste of money. :'(

Everyone is different. In my mind it's better than the alternative of always feeling like crap. It's day 4 since I had the treatment, and it hasn't magically gone away I have to zone out negative thoughts and 'train' my mind, in addition to listen to the CD he gave me. Do exercise, eat healthier, for me
I had enough of living the way I was, so even if it works a little beats being on drugs for the rest of my life. My brother in law use the hypnotherapy for panic attacks he had being left in car, getting on a plane, even being by himself! It worked and he's fine now. I think it's similar to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), so it's re-programming the mind.

Good luck with whatever treatment you use, and I hope it helps.
