Hypnotherapy...
have recently been to see a doctor about my problems but she was pretty useless, i wont get any help on the NHS anyway because i'm not bad enough a threat to myself so i'm not going to try again... i definitely can't afford private help so i'm looking into hypnotherapy..
has anyone ever had hypnotherapy for mental health issues? or know of anyone that has? i've only heard hypnotherapy have wonderous results for people who want to give up smoking or get mentality for a diet or get over a fear or stop road rage, which is all brilliant but would it actually help with an eating disorder, stress, anxiety, depression, anger?! anyone know of any reliable hypnotherapists in the north hampshire/berkshire/surrey area? thanks :) |
I had hypnotherapy when I was living in Wales for me SH and to be honest didn't help but that could be because I wasn't sure about it and possibly my mind was open enough.
You could try the NHS, why do you say your not 'bad enough of a threat' to yourself? From my experience they do tend to help no matter how much of a treat you are to yourself. |
love your avatar! i used to obsess over billie joe :P
yea i've heard it only really works if you're positive it will. i've emailed a few hypnotherapists but they're all private ones, so just out to get my money really i think and they're all so expensive which i really cant afford as a student :( i hope i can find something. i'm getting tired of feeling like this.. well, i've only ever seen a psychiatrist once on the NHS and that was because my friends made me go to the doctors after they found me at a train station watching trains go by trying to work out the best time to jump... and the doctors sent me to A&E and the psychiatrist analysed me and said "well i can see you're obviously feeling very down and suffering from a few issues but i have confidence that you're too grounded and intelligent to do anything stupid. here's some pills, see how you do" i know any doctor, psychologist, or whatever i come across now will think the same. as much as i want to slash my skin up, i can restrain myself because i don't want the scars or have to explain it to my boyfriend and friends. as much as i want to die, i can restrain myself from trying because i don't want to put my family and boyfriend through that much pain. as much as i want to starve myself, i eat because i dont want to upset my boyfriend. they'll never help me |
You should insist upon a referal or some help from your GP. You really have to fight for this stuff but you deserve to receive help and treatment!!!!
You said your were a student.... does your college or uni have any services for students? ...they usually do. |
hmmm i probably wasnt demanding enough with the doctor, i just sat there and cried and said "oooh you probably wont help anyway coz i'm not going to actually kill myself" - but at the same time, i don't want just counselling or a psychologist meeting every now and again, i want something productive and soon....
yea i've seen the uni counsellor for a few months but i'm sick of talking about the past now. been seeing counsellors for years, at 20 there's only so much past i have to talk about and it just gets borrrrrrring. i don't get anywhere with it... need something else now |
What do you mean?...like medication? or a change of life?
|
sorry, that didn't make sense. I meant - kind of - a lifestyle change or complete overhaul??
