Hello.
I see that I am not the only person with 'unreality' feelings when reading a few of these threads but I think my over analysing and obsessive thinking has caused it all.
My main problems are focusing and obsessing over things that I should not really think about, or that if I did think about it, it should not bother me or the thought should be discarded.
More often than not I keep analysing how the body works, how do I function? Why do I function? And then I get fearful of these thoughts. I anaylse my movements - as I am typing this now I think to myself how am I doing this? Why am I doing this? And so on.
The same for when I am drinking and eating, speaking. Why am I speaking? Am I really speaking? How am I speaking? And the same with seeing and hearing. Why do these things carry on when I am clearly fearful of them?
I even anaylse my body and face in the mirror. Is that really my face? Are they really my arms? Why do they work? How do they work? Why do they not feel under my control?
Could hypnotherapy stop me thinking these thoughts? Could it help me stop obsessing over the subconcious things I do? I have been thinking like this for about 2 years now but it has now got to the point where I have had to quit my studies and I cannot think of anything else other than questioning my existance and everyone elses existance.
I have been seeing a Therapist about all this for about a year and a half. He thinks that as Medication has not worked for me and that CBT was not productive enough that hypnotherapy might well help me. I trust in his judgement and will be seeing a hypnotherapist soon, who is also an NLP/TLT Practitioner.
But when I saw this site I thought I would put it to you people too as I have read a lot of the threads on here for quite some time and the comments are usually very helpful.
Please reply if you have any comments about this. Apologies for the very long post. But thank you for reading through it all. :)
