  • Can a sleep hypnosis tape trigger the opportunity to uncover repressed memories ?

    This probably sounds like clutching at straws... and might not even be in the right category...

    I m interested in making a hypnotic sleep tape for myself. I believe I have the technology to make something that might just work on me.

    But I don t need to give up smoking or anything like that, I need to uncover repressed memories from my childhood. I don t know if there s a way of doing so with a hypnotic sleep tape but I d be interested to know if it s been done, and if so, what things should be said in it?

    I appreciate there is probably a low chance of success, but I don t see the harm in trying!

    Thanks

  • How do you upload a REALLY BIG picture in it's ORIGINAL SIZE? 10 Points!?

    It sounds like a stupid question but I genuinely cannot find a website that will let me do it!

    So I made this picture file, but it's like 10,000 pixels in height and width - when I few it on my picture viewer I can zoom in and view it in 100% - but whenever I try to upload it to the web, it shrinks it to about the size of the screen, which means you can't even read the writing - it's completely useless! It took me weeks to make this ridiculously large family tree and I can't share it with anyone because the internet keeps shrinking it beyond recognition!!

    10 points for the first person to give me a legit solution!

  • What would be a good job title for me?

    So, I've been working at a Golf Club/Hotel/Restaurant/Spa for about 2 years now, and whilst I started out as a waitress, my job roles have increased considerably now - I'm soon leaving, and I want to agree a proper job title with my manager to put on my CV, that covers all of my skills, and roles within my job description.

    These are the areas I cover:

    - Running the Facebook, Twitter and other Social Media for the company

    - Receptionist

    - Spa Receptionist

    - Housekeeping

    - Occasional PA for Manager

    - Waitressing

    - Bar Work

    - Have worked in the kitchen (desserts/washing up)

    - Have taken on reservationist's roles

    - Have night-ported.

    My manager (being the sarcastic guy he is) has suggested "Social Media Development Co-Ordinator" to cover that side of my job, and "General DB Supervisor" (Dog body) to cover the rest! Whilst I like what he has for social media - I want a good title that covers the rest, that makes me sounds important, useful, and invaluable (which is what I am...)

    Any thoughts?

  • Does this mean I need surgery?

    So, I injured my ankle 10 months ago now - it was a dancing incident, I stepped badly and collapsed to the ground unable to put weight on it. I went to A&E, X-Ray was inconclusive, but they said to treat it like a sprain, put me on crutches and sent me on my way.

    I had a show that week (not a dance show fortunately, a play) - so I literally had 2 days to force myself off of crutches to be able to walk well enough for my character to have integrity - I did a lot of RICE treatment did everything by the book, and within 2 weeks I was back at dancing (obviously not at full pace straight away)

    Gradually I was able to use my ankle more and more, but it never healed past a certain point, and things like running, and landing on the injured foot were still impractical months down the line. So I went back to my doctor who referred me to a physio - after a 2 month wait (naturally), I started physio for the last 2 months or so on the ankle - we have tried everything, from exercises to massages, to ultrasound, and even tried laser treatment - after 2 months of seeing absolutely no improvement - my physio has said there is nothing more I can do for you - I'm going to refer to back to a doctor for further investigation, I think the ligament might have torn something to do with the bone (I didn't really understand) and that I may need an MRI scan...

    Maybe I'm just jumping the gun here - but being told my physio can't help and that I need an MRI scan suggests to me that this is much more serious than I first thought - am I going to need surgery to fix this problem? What else can they possibly do if a physio can't help?

    It's amazing how much impact one stupid ball change kick can change your situation... still 10 months down the line!

  • Computer isn't reading discs/DVDs or EHDs... nothing, nada! Help?

    So I moved back in with my parents, turn on the computer, put a disc in to install a game onto the computer... nothing. I got o My Computer, the disc drive I put it in didn'r acknowledge I'd put anything in. So I took it out and put it in the other disc drive... nothing, nada. So I tried a different disc - nothing. I'm getting a little frustrated now... so now I plug my external hard drive into the USB to watch some Friends... USB not recognised.

    This isn't funny it's like the computer is looking at me blankly and is like... nah, can't be bothered. I dusted out the disc drives, made sure the discs work on other computers... I don't really know what I should be doing to fix this one!

  • Christians: What's wrong with hypnotherapy?

    I strongly believe I have a repressed memory of sexual abuse in my childhood, a blurred memory of my whole childhood, showing all the symptoms of an abuse victim, going around an abuse cycle constantly putting myself in danger... everything points to this probability... after 2 years of being shoved from pillar to post, I am finally undergoing psychotherapy, but we're not really going in the right direction and I can't deal with the possibility that after all this time of waiting, the therapy isn't actually going to give me the answers I am so desperately searching for...

    A lot of people recommend hypnotherapy as a positive and productive form of recovering suppressed memories... but as a Christian I have always been advised to steer clear of it - but I'm not entirely sure why - can someone enlighten me here - what is so wrong about Hypnotherapy that the Christian faith are so against it? Would it be so bad for me to try it out? I have waited so long, and begged God and stuck by him and to be completely honest he has made this unnecessary waiting game hell and I'm at the end of my tether, I'm willing to try anything, but I don't want to do it without God, if there's a good reason why us Christian's avoid it then I will trust in Him (however painful), but if people are just being paranoid then I've gotta try it, I'm desperate!

  • Pokemon Black: Captain won't recognise my Liberty Pass?

    So I got a Liberty Pass through Action Replay (I wasn't even trying to, it just came as part of a package), and when I realised I had it, I got really excited, ran all the way to Castelia City, headed straight for Liberty Pier, and had a nice chat with the captain about the mechanics of his ship, then he ignores me and just stands there, everybody else says that he should immediately recognise the Liberty Pass and let you on, he has no acknowledgement of the ticket, I even tried using the ticket, but that isn't even an option - why won't he let me on the ship?!

    I've been reading some articles on the plan to colonize the moon by 2020, the whole thing is really fascinating!! But I can't find any recent articles, it seems like there was a big hype in 2006, but I can't find anything more recent of indications as to how it's going - does anyone know if things are going according to plan, what they're to, are we on schedule?

  • CSI: Dark Motives - case 3 - help!?

    Don't ask me why I fished this game out because it is actually driving me crazy!

    OK, so I'm on Case 3, Diggin' It - what I am after is a warrant for John's Trailer - but right now, John isn't suspicious enough apparently. Here is what I have

    Skeleton:

    - Glass Shard from scar under eye

    - Dental recognition

    - Fibre from the hand

    - Vic's DNA

    Construction Site:

    - Tire Treads

    - Artifact

    - Dust particles thingy

    - I can't get the nest until I get the trailer

    - Baseball bat - glass shard and accelerant

    - Wristwatch

    Psychic Parlour:

    - Found the accelerant

    - Carpet Fibre

    Condo

    - Rejection Letter

    - Tape

    - Artifact

    - Statue & Blood

    - Acknowledged Soap Sculpting stuff

    Warrant - Interrogate Adam Kilborn

    - Fingerprints & DNA

    I have asked everybody everything - and nobody is talking - I can 't get anything out of John so he isn't even a suspect and the next thing I need is to access his trailer, which hasn't even come up in conversation yet!

    I've given Greg the evidence so many times I know his entire script off by heart now - and I have compared absolutely everything imaginable under the microscope and on the computer, I have searched each piece of evidence for possible missing prints and blood and accelerants and fibres - I have read the step by step for about 3 different walkthroughs - and done everything on the list!

    What have I missed?!?!?!?!!!!!

  • A few Pokémon game questions! (And DS wifi issues!)?

    OK, I have a few questions regarding my pokemon games!

    1. I have a GBA, GBA wireless adaptor, and a DS, is it possible to use these 2 to trade between GBA games (namely, emerald and leafgreen) This one is probably a no, but worth asking!!

    2. OK, I only recently bought Emerald, but first time playing it, I used absolutely no cheats, or anything like that, I played it with my games console that never corrupts file games, because I wanted to play it completely clean... I got to the Elite Four, defeated the Elite Four, let it play out during the credits and everything to ensure it saved properly... I switched it back on, and the save file had been deleted due to corruption... ?!?!?! What possible could have caused that? I'm now afraid to play the game incase of that happening again.

    3. OK - so I gave up on playing clean, and got out me old Action Replay, used it to catch some shiny legendaries etc... I know it's risky with GBA pkmn games but hey, it's all I got, anyway, so I'm not bothered about playing Emerald through now... what I would really like to do is migrate my new fancy legendaries into my DS games... so I did everything I was supposed to, unleashed Pal Park, inserted the game into the slot (removed the AR), and started the DS game... it got to the title screen and I was looking for the migrate option, and it wasn't there!! So I did some research and it turns out the AR can mega screw up your games and you cannot migrate from corrupt games... well, I wish somebody had told me that before I used it!! So my question here is... is there a way around it that means I CAN migrate from my GBA games? Even if it's a cheat code on the AR that allows it to happen...

    4. I'm reluctant to use my AR on LeafGreen, so that cartridge is still clean... but there's no point migrating anything from LG until I get some rare legendaries... I'm tempted to get a Gameshark, I'm wondering is the Gameshark any more reliable than an AR? I know neither are supported by Nintendo, but if I use a Gameshark, will it corrupt my games like the AR has done? Or is it worth buying?

    5. FINAL question! Sorry!! I can't believe I've left it all this time and I've never used Nintendo WiFi on my DS... well I want to play around with Rotom's forms, and obviously you need to use WiFi mystery gift for this... well, I can get my DS to recognise my home router, type in the correct access password, and it still doesn't work, so I typed in everything manually (IP address etc...) and it still won't work, and it won't recognise my dongle connection I use for my laptop... well how am I supposed to connect my DS to the internet when I have 2 legit internet connections in the house and it won't connect with either of them!! How am I supposed to do this?!!!

  • Did you remember being abused for the first time in therapy?

    This is really battling with my mind and I need to hear it from people who have actually been there.

    I was diagnosed with BPD about a month ago (I self-diagnosed about 9 months ago... I am STILL awaiting psychotherapy and medication that actually treats the symptoms, so I'm basically a potentially suicidal psycho completely alone that nobody thinks is a priority to treat)

    ANYWAY - my childhood is a blur, and long before I came to the conclusion of BPD I've always had this wondering that maybe I could have been abused as a child, and PTSD or whatever wiped it from my memory. When I found out about BPD... the possibility suddenly became a lot more likely, the condition is most frequently caused by childhood trauma (and we've already ruled out heriditary and biological causes), but I don't recollect any childhood trauma - I don't recollect much of below 8 years old to be honest. I think it's a real possibility, and I just wanna hear if anybody else has been there...

    Have you had a memory of abuse uncovered for the first time in therapy? If so, did you suspect before you remembered? Was there a little part of you that always kinda knew? Was it who you suspected it to be? Are you glad you know now? How long did it take to uncover the memory? How were you sure the memory was genuine?

    I'm seriously not coping - this whole fiasco has gone on way too long and nobody seems to care, they've tried me on several different medications, none of which has touched the symptoms - I just got back from New York with Uni, spent the whole week wanting to be raped just to get a little bit of attention, my psychotherapist knows that, and doesn't seem bothered enough to treat me!!!! Please somebody reply to this because I cannot go on like this.

  • I'm not coping, 2 options, which should I do?

    This isn't one of those, how should I commit suicide questions don't panic I'm definitely NOT suicidal, but I'm definitely not coping with extreme insecurities which are consuming me and affecting my every day life, causing me to not eat, self-harm, and using alcohol as a coping mechanism because anti-anxieties and anti-depressants evidently don't work on me... I'm on a waiting list for Pychotherapy but months down the line I've been waiting and getting worse by the day... I am a student, female, 20, studying Performing Arts, Contemp Theatre at Bournemouth Uni... I have been to my lecturer whom I trust a few times, she has said she can only support me academically which I get, and she's being very professional about the whole thing, and I have my best friend, who knows how insecure I am, picks now to break away from me, and feels like she can't handle the things I tell her...

    I see that I have 2 options:

    1: I can suppress like hell, same as I’ve been doing the last goodness knows how many years, I can not tell anyone I’m suffering, I can eat, and just not tell anyone how much I’m drinking, I can suppress the hell out of my insecurities, and cover them up best I can, if I self-har, I can do it where it won't be seen, I can smile, and laugh, and do all the right things, I can be focused, and studious, and be the perfect student, and just suppress all this hell for another 10 years, not even tell Katy how much this is hurting me and killing me every day… this may lead to my eventually being sectioned or ya know, somehow end up being admitted to a mental hospital, or just dying of alcoholism if the psychotherapy doesn’t get to me in time….

    2: OR, I could (somehow) breakdown at Uni, I mean properly break-down, I could literally pour out my heart, tell Katy the full truth how much I’m really hurting, how she’s hurt me, I could stop eating again, I could self-harm, whatever it takes to somehow break down so that the college, the teachers… Vic, can’t ignore it anymore so that they will support me properly, as this is what I actually truly desire, their support – and risk

    A) Them not actually caring like I want them to and going round in circles for another 2 years trying to make them care, by doing more of the self-harm, the not-eating, the whatever it takes

    B) Them contacting my parents, and then I really do have a problem, this would probably lead to me running away because if I can't deal with this I DEFINITELY cannot deal with THAT

    C) Vic carrying out her threat and either send me home or call out an emergency psychiatric doctor and deem me as unfit to study on the course, risking my grades, and reputation as a stable performer

    D) All the teachers taking this as an opportunity to never entrust me with any responsibility within the course, never getting the roles I want or think I deserve and potentially risk having parts taken away from me.

    That's it: I can suppress, which is slowly killing me and will continue to do so, OR breakdown and pour it out - taking some considerably high risks in the process - what would you do in my situation if these were your options?!
