/hypno/ - Hypnochan

using anxiety to forget an event never goes well, and only very experienced professional 'tists (or illegal ones) even do it for fear of indirectly causing you to commit suicide or break mentally. which is the biggest problem. using hypno to entirely forget an event can cause cognitive dissonance disorder and lead you to depression and eventual suicide or very different thought patterns, mimicking a mental disorder like I said.

hypnosis can help you feel/think better about that event so you can overcome it, or cause you to think of it less often (which might cause you to forget it if you think of it very very little).

i can't really tell you what you need to listen to since it depends on what you experienced.

Thanks for the feedback.

Even just making think/feel better about it would be a huge improvement.

I don't want to get into too many specifics, but the memory I am trying to forget is a near-death experience. It's one of those "If you would have been an inch to the left, you'd be red paste on the ground" type of deals. People keep telling me to just rationalize it by telling myself "the danger is over", "it's passed now", "you're safe" etc. but that's not really working

I would have laughed at myself a week ago if someone told me I would be feeling anxiety over this event, but here I am. At random moments throughout the past few days the memory just pops back into my mind and I can't will it away no matter how hard I try to forget. I was at work on Friday on the verge of tears, trying to hide how upset I truly was all day.

If I can't just forget it ever happened, I'd be fine with being able to think about it and not have a mini-panic attack. I suppose time will heal all wounds, but this is the first time I've sought any kind of help for mental health.

Hmm, I guess I should check if my work insurance covers psychiatric visits…

Hey, same guy as before.

Ooh yeah. I think I understand now. I had a similar thing but I got over it very quickly. My family was rear ended super fucking hard. Enough to push the car forward with so much force we hit the car in front of us, and he hit the guy in front of him, etc etc, 7 people were in the accident in total. Surprisingly, the worst injury was from my mother, who had a hairline fracture in her wrist.

Anyway, the point that got me wary was that the car was literally half an inch from hitting my back (I was in the back seat), which would have rendered me paralyzed for life or dead.

The worst thing is, I was wanting to commit suicide (I have/had that problem since I was very little, but hypnosis has helped me to a great degree, Idk if completely but we'll see) just a while before the accident happened. Maybe that helped in not making me anxious, but it did snap me out of suicide mode. I took it as a sign that something (I believe in God so that's the something, interpret it as you like) wants me alive. It made me appreciate life and everyone who loves me more. I wouldn't have known half the things I know now, not half the people. I would have ruined many people's lives, and I would have died a sad fuck. That's also what snapped me out of my detained/whatever it is. Maybe looking at it like that would turn that traumatic event you suffered into something positive.

If you can't do it on your own, there is definitely hypnosis, hypnotists, or other qualified individuals that can help. I would personally advise strongly against visiting a psychiatrist. They don't help. All they do is look at a list of symptoms and diseases, see if you fit the category of any of them, and prescribe drugs that make your life 100x worse 100% of the time.

Some drugs will literally break you. Not to mention they are fucking expensive, insurance or not (the drugs are out of pocket too, I'm pretty sure).

But I hope you find a positive side to this. I know it sucks, and I can't imagine feeling like I did for a day or more like you are. Good luck and I hope you find something to help you (that won't run your life like a psychoatrist [typo on purpose]).

Don't know about hypnosis specifically, but for PTSD you can try https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_movement_desensitization_and_reprocessing and doing pure MDMA in a controlled, safe environment, following the instructions at rollsafe to make sure you have a good time.

site:longecity.org "cortisol" OR "anxiolytic"

They have some very good brainhacks on that site.
