Dissociative – alexithymia ? Need some help here.?

I smoked marijuana and started to have anxiety attacks. Following this I stopped and felt a wall within me, between myself and this hollow sensation – like it was keeping me from my emotional self. It’s been going on and I smoked marijuana stupidly the other day and now that wall doesn’t even feel to be there. I know the wall was there as I had a fear of my feelings, but I was thinking if I try some hypnosis while I’m sleeping I could bring back my emotional self and reintegrate it with myself.

Poetry people: do you consider rap a form of poetry?

Or do you dismiss it because of the materialistic stereotypes associated with most mainstream rap?

BQ: How would you rate the following?

I’m cloaked in smoke but feel no flames
Folks float around me but I see no wings
No halos or hounds, pitchforks or gates
Or omnipotent voice that picks course or fate
To the life of indecision build a dreamscape prison
Where light isn’t manufactured but captured inside a prism
In a state between asleep and awake
Feels closest to hypnosis where the infinite wait
Then the fog dissipates revealing crimson fields
Quick ? by a fawn with flaming heels
Eyes red as stop signs and a mane of quills
As it gaze past hills of diamond trees
I see a silhouette rest upon golden knees
For the body of a goddess and a face of dreams
A half-naked ? good in a pagan hood
Kiss me on the cheek, we didn’t speak but I understood
It wasn’t Heaven that I was seeking but a haven I sought
A canvas of the mind painted with my thoughts

Everything ain’t what it seems
I wake up to find I’m inside of a dream inside of a dream
See buried deep beside the seams of my screams
Of beings and otherworldly things rarely seen
Might be psychosis or maybe I chose this
The night approaches every time the eye closes
I see a burning bush, feel like I’m Moses
Burn so much kush I feel like amosis
All my images are morgues and wounds
And every fork in the road moves through Freud and Jung
In the darkness no orchard blooms
A state so dark, sparks from the torch is consumed
It’s like I live in a fortress of doom
In the forest where the blood pores were forced from my wounds
My body aches from this lobotomy, a part of me shakes
Open my eyes, I’m awake, awake

Paxil & Self-Improvement?

I’ve been using subliminals/hypnosis for the past 6 months to improve myself at times these subliminals did make me nervous because of the resistance. When I got 3 months into a program, I had horrible social anxiety due to the resistance so I stopped and used another subliminal to build my confidence. About 3 weeks ago, I decided to quit smoking because I believe it increased my social anxiety and anxiety in general, so I quit cold turkey. I also quit using my subliminals/hypnosis during this time. Since then, I have had ZERO social anxiety and wasn’t self-conscious any longer. The hardest part during this withdrawal were the panic attacks that I would have constantly, all day long, as well as horrible insomnia due to these attacks, horrible depression, and many other symptoms. The ER doc put me on Lorazepam for 2 weeks to take as needed so I took 1mg before bed because I couldn’t sleep without it. Now when I stop Lorazepam everything is WORSE. My doctor is now putting me on Paxil for one month. I don’t feel so happy because I think the Paxil may cover up something that I really want to work on, anxiety/panic I want to cure those for good and not cover it up if something is really bothering me. However, if it is simply a chemical imbalance then Paxil will fix it, yes? I don’t feel like I can move forward without curing these deep issues/fears/resistance. However, maybe the Paxil will just make it easier for me to use them now. I’m wondering, would it be ok to continue to do my subliminals/hypnosis/self-improvement to build my confidence, work on my anxiety perhaps using the Linden Method, and self-esteem while I am on this drug for the month?

Please help, I need a Mental Facility?

I have OCD, Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, and many other NOS personality disorders. My whole life has been nothing but hell and my whole family has kept an unhealthy cycle of abuse and pain both outwards onto others and self mutilation (mental and physical) I have a daughter that is a year and a half, I need to end this cycle and get my life on track but I need to fix me first. I have trust issues, and a lot of suppressed memories. I am an adult victim of child abuse. I was raped when i was a teenager. I need help desperately so I can step up for my daughter. I don’t care where in the United States the place is, but I want the best (that can be covered by unitedhealthcare or have payment plans) also I am a smoker and would like it if they allowed smoking or have smoke breaks. Also I am open to hypnosis, and encourage that method in the program (due to suppressed memories) Please, please help me stop this cycle and stop the pain. I don’t want my daughter to ever have to go through a fraction of what i have experienced.

NOW THE LONG PART:
If you need more details keep reading

I’m 21 I don’t know what i am supposed to do really. I don’t have a Dr or therapist or anything, due to such a terrible childhood i am ignorant and trying to do it all on my own. I need help soon and a therapist once a week is just too long a wait. I need a safe environment to be able to deal with these things, because talking to someone for an hour, getting those feelings then getting sent home while all those bad thoughts are exposed is not a good thing for me. I can suppress them for a few more weeks, but thats about all i can do.
My story: My parents divorced when i was an infant after my father abused my mother constantly in front of me. My grandmother manipulated my mother, destroying her life (after them BOTH having just as hard as a life as i am having, if not ten times worse on my mothers part) and taking me and my sister, my sister was taken from my life and I didnt see her again until she was 18 and messed up on so many drugs and in so much of a mess she ended up disappearing shortly after as well, just long enough to break my moms heart. I was raised with my little cousin, born about the same time all the seperation happened and raised as a grandchild of my grandmother – my stepgrandfather (raised with him as my grandpa) Is deaf has sleep apneia diebeties etc and my grandmother ignores it, she wont go for help but she is severely mental, she raised 9 brothers and sisters two kids and was married 4 times, the first died in war after leaving her pregnant, the second with years of both physical and mental abuse as well as raping my mother shot himself within earshot of my mom when she was 16, my gpa used to be a hellfire, but after i was in the household became a good old southern baptist and basically became a potato, my gma rules the family with intense control issues and still messes with my mom’s head more than anything else. When i was a child it started as mental and physical abuse, that i thought was NORMAL most of my life. I protected my little cousin from the worst by taking the blame and standing up for her and myself. when i was 7 during a beating i told my gma to keep going, through my tears, until she went smack off crazy and broke down. My mother was in and out of my life my father never in it, but my mom fought to be in my life and as an adult we have a good relationship. I have a few pieces missing of my life about that time and on my 9th birthday i started my cycle and was called a pimply whore for the next 10+ years, along with many other things, I was a genius with a very passionate creative spark, I was picked on and severely bullied at school only to come home to hell, my grades dropped after my freshman year of highschool, when i was 9, 13, 16, 17, 18, and 20 I attempted suicide. hanging, suffocation, drowning, cutting, pills, poison, etc. in highschool i was put in the spotlight and everything got worse. I ended up making a friend I thought i could trust and he raped me a week later. I was ignorant and ashamed and didnt tell anyone for six months, luckily i didnt get pregnant, but i was constantly stuck between shaking from being so terrified and guilty, and kicking everyone’s *** here to kingdom come, I graduated highschool, only a month late due to a single class in summer school but i still walked with my class. I ended up losing someone i loved to the military, jumping into a relationship because my gma suggested it and marrying him a month later. he went to college and I never slept, I worked a full time joband was his maid/perfect housewife the rest, I was mentally abused at first then physically we found out i was pregnant and he left me, near the end of the pregnancy, it was either get back with him or stay at my gmas, i chose him. I had several complications with the pregnancy and almost died during labor, i came back in a week later due to toximia, and was mistreated
a shell mearly takeing care of my daughter and slaving for my husband. He said new start and i went with it, he bought the ticket packed my bags and sent me to the middle of nowhere then served me with divorce papers, i got my money up by working a part time job in a town that litterally only had a bar a gas station and where i worked, along with a post office and a trailer park. I got home only to live with my grandmother again, he had taken my daughter and his grandmother has been taking care of her since, he has violated every parental right of mine and even with the divorce finalized and parenting plan in place, it is ignored. his gma pays off most of the people in that town and my gma pulls strings for them so she can see my daughter. I tried going to college and tried making a few friends to help me through, i have three friends, and only one is really there for me. I had to drop out of college, am dealing with child support, have only my mom trying her damnedest to help me, but
*I became a shell merely… (put this at the begining of additional details )
Thank you, but I am a pretty strong person (going through all this and still going) I would like to get it all done at once, or at least consecutively. as for therapy I will copy something down from what i have already written “I need help soon and a therapist once a week is just too long a wait. I need a safe environment to be able to deal with these things, because talking to someone for an hour, getting those feelings then getting sent home while all those bad thoughts are exposed is not a good thing for me.” Let me state again, thank you and let you know that I do appreciate your help.

Only in Tennessee…
Also I dont know how to/cannot grieve

Sorry for this being so long

Is a Manchurian Candidate possible?

Some people say that Sirhan Sirhan was a Manchurian Candidate for Robert Kennedy. Others say that it is impossible to brainwash someone to that degree because there are too many other factors involved like morality. They also say hypnosis is not that powerful anyway. If it were we could hypnotize people to quit drinking and stop smoking more frequently / Is a Manchurian Candidate possible

What’s a good way to quit smoking, other than just going cold turkey?

Been smoking on and off for past 4 years – nearly 5 – and I want to quit. I’ve done cold turkey before, but always started again a month or so later. Once went 7months without having any fags but I always seem to start again. At home I can’t do it, but when I’m at college all week I can get away with it and whenever I say I will quit, I will simply end up off to the smoking area with mates because I know loads of people who also smoke. And no, going around with different people isn’t the right answer – although if possible would probably work.

Does anyone know any tricks to stop? And nothing like hypnosis – too much money for that!
Thanks.

Can hypnosis just be for fun?

If you get hypnotized, does it always have to be for some treatment such as weight control or stopping smoking? Or can it just be an enjoyable thing just for fun?

anyone know anything about hypnosis to help quit smoking weed?

yea that’s pretty much it.

I feel like im addicted to the Habit of smoking, and it’s depressing.
yea addicted psychologically not psychically .. of course.

Could my mom’s lungs heal if she quit smoking?

My mom has been smoking since she was 17 years old. She’s 45 now and still smokes. The only way she ever stopped was through hypnosis when she was pregnant with me(my dad said if she didn’t quit while she was pregnant he would leave her) and she started right back up again. I know she still smokes, but I don’t know how much seeing as I live with my dad and haven’t seen her in a year and a half. Debi Austin came to my school today and I was really mortified by her condition. She sounded like a frog with her little voice box thing and even though I don’t really bother with my mom much(the past 14 years since she left when I was 3 I’ve probably spent around 65 days with her), I know that if she ever had something serious happen to her as a result of smoking(or anything for that matter) I’d be gutted. If I could somehow convince my mom to stop smoking could her lungs get better? I heard that they start healing when you stop.. but to what extent? Any other information about the benefits of quitting would also be helpful. Any non-trolling intellectual answer is much appreciated.
