I took a class in the late 60's.. It was a class for weight loss but I was having a problem with my nerves and the dr suggested it so I could put myself under so I could relax... The class was in Dec and not only did it help my nerves but I lost 12 lbs (during the holidays yet).. I would put myself under while sitting in a recliner and my kids would check on me to see if I was still alive.. I still do it if I have a stressful day...I am one that goes under very easy..

There was one lady that freaked out the first night and the dr refused to let her continue.. We found out later she was dealing with the death of her daughter...

i not sure if it works with everyone either ,some say it works others say it don't :)me to i think it almost like mind over matter if you think its working then your body reacts that way lollllllll

They've tried to hypnotize me, several times...It never happened..I'm not a good subject

were you scared? or just could not relax? lolll or you think it just don't work for you?

well i am glad it helped you my friend:) and its so sad the other person lost their daughter would be hard to relax

Never scared..I do have trouble relaxing on command..lol..I just think it doesn't work for me.

ok lolllllllll well kind of would freak me out if it made me faint or something hahaha but i never tried it like a real 1 :)

IF you and the one hypnotizing you both believe and are open to it, yes it MAY work.

I've personally tried it on myself and that hasn't worked. I will never try it with someone else doing the hypnotizing, I do not trust anyone enough to be that vulnerable, and after my failed attempts on myself, that has made me skeptical of it working on me.

It seems like a form of meditation, which may explain my personal failures with it. I have attempted meditation techniques similar to hypnosis, and failed.

well i guess it works for some and others it don't:) cheers or too are you doing it right theres a bunch of different 1s on youtube to try too or you can look up free trial ones :)good luck bro oh ya curious you get that piano yet?

lol I have high anxiety for one thing, so can't relax enough. I don't even trust the videos and other guides that others have made to help.

I didn't get the piano yet, but may get it tomorrow, we'll see.

I have been hypnotised by someone where I used to work who'd been but I can't say it was something that I would pay for...I'd rather have acupuncture.

you have high anxiety bro sorry to hear that do you get like a scared feeling in the body sometimes for no reason? i know a few friends who got that in past and it just comes on i tell them to take deep breaths and try and relax i had it when i lost my Dad years ago too:) so i feel for you then there is high anxiety in daily living too:) both are bad but at least you know why you get that 1 cheers have a great night and hope you get that piano it could help relax you :)

well my friend my brother got acupuncture a lot of times it helped his blood presure and helped him to relax with work stress he is the owner and gets a lot of stress:) cheers

I've had a panic/anxiety attack once before, but sometimes I'll fear that one is going to come on or is happening. It's typically in situations where normal stress/anxiety may be a little high, but not really bad.

Like for example today I went to the store and their cash register was down for about five minutes, the line was really long and as I was waiting and they were fixing the issue, I felt like I was going to have an attack, or that maybe one was happening. I had to look at my phone to see the time and wait a minute and look at it again to calm down, that usually helps.

Another example is that I met a friend of my friend. The guy was nice and we were all at his house. I was extremely nervous for no legitimate reason, just really high anxiety. I had to look at the clock and look at it again to calm down.

At school and work, it can get bad too. If there's a big crowd, a lot going on at once, etc. Sometimes I'll have to go to the restroom to calm down. I'll just wash my hands for a few minutes as an excuse to stay in the restroom and calm down.

well my friend sounds like you have a bit of demophobia a fear of crowds you start to feel nervous and or anxious and why you wash hands is like a compulsive thing to release stress some touch things over and over others may look at a phone several times to relieve it like you did a lot of people have this my friend :) just try taking deep breaths or say in your mind everything is going to be ok :) it's hard and if people never been through it or felt it they don't understand i saw friends go through it i also studied it a bit and read a lot :) cheers sometimes to putting your mind on something else helps but facing the problem is best :) if you can:)it takes time

well some it does and some it don't and too it depends how trained the person is thats doing it my friend:)

he go bok bok bok lollllllll funny thing is why he strip down to his underwear ? LOLLLLLLLL thats just to funny lolll but yes its sad if thats the way it works and not sure if i would ever get it done , maybe for fun:)

I have severe depression, I think that has more to do with it. Mind over matter does not work with me, nor does breathing exercises. I've tried. I've been through all kinds of counseling and therapy my whole life.

i hear you bro see it depends what your depressed about my friend some depression will always be there if its a lost of a loved one, or other serious issues health,one good way is to face it head on and talk to others that feel your pain too , that are sincere and respect your feelings and been through things :) to me i think meds are a cover up just to help you through in a time of need i think honest true friends that know how you feel and you let out why your depressed helps sometimes more then doctors it did for me in past when i lost my Dad :) i still not over him but then again i never will in my books he help so many people but my friend i feel for you it takes time think positive cheers
