I went throught alot of distress over some personal issues...... that became to much for me to bear, i could not escape them.
I started just setting them aside and letting other parts of me handle them, which took tremendous obligated worries off me, but i started going through periods of loss of reality, i would not even recognize myself in the mirror, my car, and family pictures I dont recall in my memory.
I rerember i would go in "trance" like states where litterly i felt as if i was not controling my actions with my own will, i was just "watching idle", and started asking myself questions about what things where, then started making sarcastic comments, like someone insulting me.
My therapist has taught me how to avoid these attacks from happeing by putting a rubber band on my wrist and popping it when they start to come one, and think about what i was thinking about and hour or 2 before to distract my mind. He told me to keep doing this until he can have a session sense he's all schedueled up currently.
They havent been around lately thank god, i used the rubber band today, i pulled it back to much so it really hurt, but it did work, but i kept repeating it becuase it would reoccur.
I bobbarded Ritchie with alot of my problems, he takes care of them confidently, but i feel bad becuase i cant do it. My therpist has referred me to a hypnotherapist, but i dont think i need to becuase things are dying down right now.
But hope for the best, i have to go.

Hi Matt,
I'm glad things are feeling better. I think that rubber band idea is a good one. It seems odd, but it can work, and it sounds like it does for you.Regarding hypnotherapy, I just read something from some professionals in my area that suggest hypnotherapy would be very appropriate for you. And now that things are quiet might be a better time than when things are stirred up. In some cases it's better to "strike while the iron is cold."
Good luck,
gg

Matt,
I agree with GG. You might find hypnotherapy helpful, especially if the rubber band works. Try it, if it doesn't, don't continue.
I'm glad you are feeling a little better. Take it slow.
Daisy
