Hi Bowser

Welcome to the forum.

I looked up PSSD, so I could reply to you. I'd never heard of it and never been diagnosed with it, but that is clearly what I have had, to the point where everything *completely ceased* working, for maybe 6 years or so? (Not even sure how long, I just gave up eventually, made the best of the situation and focused my energy on other things) - Gosh, so that is what it was. It's a thing and it has a name! Thank you for writing, I learned something.

It has resolved now, just a couple of months ago, actually. Hypnosis worked for me. Both an actual session with a hypnotherapist, followed up with daily self-hypnosis from some scripts I bought and some YouTube videos I found. For all I know, you may have tried it?

I've had incredible and far-reaching gains from hypnosis generally, so one day I started wondering if it could help for this too. And it did. Not in a single session, over a couple of months; I kept at it. Neuroplasticity is a thing, too. If hypnosis worked for everyone, it’d be the preferred treatment, but it certainly did for me and may be worth a try?

I was switched to Wellbutrin and Lamictal, which I've been on for many years and which work fine. My BP is in remission and I no longer have, what I just discovered is called PSSD.

Sounds like bs. Hypnosis cured pssd? How exactly.

@Lost It can absolutely be true. Permanent changes in brain chemistry can be created through chemical or psychological means; ptsd for instance. I've had two recoveries over the years and both times I was in what might be considered a hypnotic state.

@Imtrying34: Can you find our more about the hypnosis? What did the person do?

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I did quantic hypnosis yesterday... it made me worse...
I never believed it, only did it because curiosity...maybe good for highly susceptible people i guess...

How did it make you worse??

[Lusitanic]

Don't know... but the fact i spent 2 hours pretending i was being hypnotized...didn't help... it's highly overrated... like psychology in general. Do you think it can cure PSSD?please..

If the problem is psychological, EMDR might work.
