I was recommended to see a hypnotherapist by my brother in law, who had suffered from Panic Attacks. I want to find a solution, rather than being on medication for the rest of my life. I have had low low period for over 6 months now, and although I haven't consciously had suicide thoughts, particularly after seeing how my last suicide attempt affected my family. A few months ago, I was on the hard shoulder of the motorway, putting water into my car, and seeing the cars going past, I had this inckling of going in front of those fast moving cars. It really frightened me to even have that feeling, as I consciously don't see suicide as an option anymore. I couldn't hurt my family by doing.
I spoke to the gentleman who will be helping me resolve my problems, and he made it clear that an open minded is required, and patience as treatment can take about a year. Commitment is required of at least 3 sessions, and it can be costly. I for one can say for sure, I am fed of feeling, and living my life this, so I have to at least try it. My brother in law tole me not to expect it be a miracle, and that he may ask me to unusual things, like put an electromagnet under my pillow. Well if that's the weirdest thing I think I will manage! My brother in law used to have trouble even sitting by himself anywhere, ranging by himself, to in a traffic jam, or going on an plane, which he has to do frequently due to his job.
I will let everyone know the progress of how it is going. I know many of us who suffer from depression, can feel marginalised, and different to others. I really hope there is another solution, as who wants to be on drugs for most of their lives, or even at all
Going to see an HYPNOtherapist ina few days...
