| ME sufferer.nlp was helping,now stressed.help please
Hi .
I`m new here.I suffer from M.E/CFS & i really dont know if the therapists on here have experience at treating this,but in brief ive had ME 16 yrs & the last 4 months ive been looking into differant methods to deal with anxiety problems. & last week i ended up looking into nlp. I dont know if what im going to write will seem unusual,but the ME causes me to be very sensitive,& maybe thats why ive reacted to nlp the way i have.
On sunday i watched part of the "blander effect" in which richard blander trys to explain his techniques with examples,its co hosted by paul mckena.its a dvd designed to teach people nlp techniques & apply them to their own problems.i really didnt know if it would help,but i watched the section on confidence, specifically i paid attention to what he did with a woman who was trying to change her fear of strangers. I suffer from this problem myself ,but i tried applying it to ocd.
So anyway i noticed the next day my panic about the ocd dropped by about 70% & over the next few days,ive become clearer & my health has actually improved. & for the next 2 days i found i could cope with things surprisingly better.
But today .thursday. i went to town for the first time since following blanders techniques,& at first i felt better, i seemed to have this elated feeling in my chest,which helped me deal with the stress of being round strangers.Ive had this feeling on/off the last few days & its been a good thing.
but then i had to deal with a lot of crowds which can stress me a lot & the elated feeling became a lot stronger (even tho i still felt some panick from the crowds)& now i cant stop it,its been hours,,kind of feeling u`d get if you`d just been told you`d got a job,its 12 am the next day now & ive had this since 5pm ,i can stop it a little ,but its too much.its making me tense now. i want to switch it off ,i want to relax.
I really hope someone can relate to this problem,i think i need to see an nlp practioner,im in birmingham england.
Id rather not say anymore about this,i tried to explain this to a friend earlier,i think they thought i was nuts.
I hope someone can advize me a direction to sort this out & also to find a good practioner in the midlands, i was geting somewhere,now im a bit panicky.
Best Regards,
Jay
p.s its 1am now & im finally starting to relax. but i dont want to go through the above again.
