Default Depression

Serious depression
Depression can make you feel like your life is spiralling out of control. Find out why it happens and how it can affect you.




Nervous breakdowns
According to the Mental Health Foundation one in 20 of us will suffer clinical depression including a 'breakdown' at some stage in our lives. The term actually refers to a wide range of experiences when someone has hit rock bottom. There is no such thing in medical terms, and making a diagnosis based on such a flimsy term is near impossible.

Severe depression: This is the most common type of breakdown, where someone develops severe depression over a few weeks, where they can't sleep, feel on edge, have negative thoughts about themselves, feel more and more hopeless and then one day just can't get out of bed.
Collapse in social roles: Inability to keep doing your day-to-day job and playing your usual part in your family or social life.
Loss of sense of reality: When the person becomes delusional, 'has lost the plot'. A psychotic breakdown, although this is not always indicative of schizophrenia.


Why does it happen?
Breakdowns are caused by the interaction of the internal and the external, yet there is always a trigger or catalyst. Breakdowns are often associated with a major life event, such as the loss of a loved one or a broken relationship. Whether such life events cause a breakdown depends upon the individual's ability to cope with the situation. Those who are more vulnerable at the time are thus more at risk.

For more information, read our full factsheet on nervous breakdowns.


Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
Although most people feel a little down when winter hits, SAD sufferers have symptoms that are severe enough to disrupt their lives and to cause considerable distress.

Symptoms:



Problems sleeping: oversleeping but not feeling refreshed; unable to get out of bed; needing a nap in the afternoon.
Overeating: carbohydrate craving leading to weight gain.
Depression: despair; misery; guilt; anxiety; normal tasks become frustratingly difficult; hopelessness.
Family problems: avoiding your family and friends; irritability; loss of libido; feeling emotionally numb.
Lethargy: too tired to cope; everything becomes an effort.
Physical symptoms: often joint pain or stomach problems and a lowered resistance to infection.
Behavioural problems: especially in younger people.

What causes it?
Apparently it stems from the lack of bright light in winter. The symptoms tend to start in September and last until April. They are at their worst in the darkest months.
For more information, read our full factsheet on SAD.


Feeling suicidal
Many of us hit a crisis point where we can't see a way out and convince ourselves that life's not worth bothering about. What we often forget is that these kinds of thoughts aren't uncommon.



Helping yourself
Try not to isolate yourself. Tell one person you trust. It could be a family member, someone at work or college, or a friend - they may have experienced similar feelings themselves - either way, you'll feel better for having opened up. Get an appointment to see your family doctor, or ask for a home visit.

If you find it hard talking face-to-face about your feelings without feeling ashamed or embarrassed, call a confidential helpline

If you are curious about Hypnosis, one of the best ways to discover how beneficial it can be is to listen to a high quality free hypnosis download. Now the important point to keep in mind is that some Hypnosis products are of poor quality and they employ ineffective hypnotic techniques.

Many hypnosis products use what is known as direct hypnosis. The Hypnotist makes direct statements such as, "You will be confident" and repeats these affirmations throughout the recording. This hypnotic process can get results, however the persons conscious mind tends to 'battle' against the direct suggestions with self-talk such as, "no I'm not confident.'

A much more elegant and effective approach is to use what is commonly known as Ericksonian Hypnosis, named after one of the most successful Hypnotherapists that's ever lived: Milton H. Erickson. This hypnotic process makes use of the power of Metaphor and story telling and it therefore tends to bypass your conscious mind and works directly with the unconscious mind. Right where you want it! This style of Hypnosis is well suited to an audio recording because you simply relax and listen to the narrative and music in the background.

The highest quality free hypnosis downloads utilise the power of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming.) NLP is a field of Psychology that models human excellence. NLP models precisely what an exceptional person has done inside their mind to get a desired result or outcome. Eg) They increased their feeling of confidence in public speaking by a factor of three. So good quality hypnosis audio incorporates NLP language structures into the process to encourage you to experience unconscious change.

One of the other benefits of listening to a free hypnosis download is that it is very safe to do so. You know how long the session will last, say 15 to 20 minutes and if you feel the need, you can simply open your eyes and turn the download off. So you have complete control!

By listening to a Hypnosis session you could change your life, become inspired, open up to new possibilities/opportunities and start to fulfill your dreams. Or if nothing else you just get to relax and listen to an interesting story accompanied with soothing music. So really, what have you got to lose?

Colin G Smith is a licensed Master Practitioner of NLP and offers you a FREE Hypnosis Download session by New York Hypnotherapist, R. Siegal, called "Dream Beyond Your Dreams!", a powerful and inspiring NLP / Ericksonian Hypnosis Journey that could radically change your life!

Get it now while it's still free!

*** Quick Tips for getting Superior Results from your Hypnosis/NLP Audio Downloads ***

Tips for getting superior results from NLP/Hypnosis Audios:

Use headphones.

Listen to the Audio with Intention eg. 'I am gaining more Confidence.'

Listen to the Audio in the evening before sleeping and/or in the morning.

Hypnotic Trance is a deep level of relaxation. Your mind is much more receptive to positive suggestions in this state.

It's recommended people listen to a Hypnosis Audio every day for the first 2 weeks and in the third week about 2/3 times. After that just listen every now and then for re- enforcement.

If you have more than one Hypnosis Audio it is recommended that you just listen to one audio for the first couple of weeks. After two weeks you can listen to different Hypnosis Audios and alternate them if you wish.

----------------------------

"I highly recommend you download the complete Hypnosis/NLP Audio Eight Set. I got my set about 3 years ago and I am still finding them useful! They really are good quality and effective. The way Robert has structured each audio session is very smart because they each work effectively on there own and at the same time they help to re-enforce learnings and changes from the other Audios! Specifically by listening to these audio's within a few days I felt Much More Energised, re-connected to my true dreams, more Optimistic, Increased self worth, more self-assured AND More Confident! By the way, they are also very useful for learning the language structures of Ericksonian Hypnosis."

There you go, that's it! So if you can now, sit back and Relax, put your headphones on and allow you unconscious to make some Wonderful Changes...

Look out for the message I will be sending you next week, titled, "The Power of Hypnosis & Your Unconscious Mind."

Until then enjoy your free Hypnosis Audio!

P.S. The most powerful and important book I've ever read was one I'd never even heard of until I got it free at this
