> That really does sound interesting, and something I just might look into. I don't think i want to dig to deep into my child hood...... very strange.. I found out last year that I lived with my grandparents until I was 11 years old.... now 31.. and I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER IT. Strange huh? I always assume... if I repressed that many years of my life... it might be better to keep them there... if ya know what I mean. But could this stuff actually like.... gosh I can't even think of a word,.... kind of... um.... :-) talk you into being motivated?

> Dear Kristi,The hypnotherapy can increase your motivation; As far as going back into the past,
my hypnotherapist gave me this metaphor comparing
the computer to the psyche. "No matter how much
you try to change the software on your computer,
it won't change until you fix the hardware."
> However, I can understand how you feel about
looking at childhood memories and opening up a
whole can of worms. I can tell you more about
hypnosis and other alternative methods for depression. Would you like to e-mail me and we can talk more on this subject? You sound like a very interesting person. My e-mail address is

I am less depresed and seem to be enjoying life much better. But the one thing I'm having problems with is motivation. Don't have it. Want it. Badly. Is there anything I can take that can just put a little "kick in my step?" It's frustrating. I'm tired all the time... I have had a complete overhall on my body trying to find a reason for this... I am slightly anemic... but that's about all I've found. Any advice? Thanks in advance. Oh, I also want to add... just because... but James, Cam, Sal, Elizabeth, Shelli, Jay... and so many others.... you do a great job in helping people.. and from an observer standpoint.. I just wanted you to know you have answered so many of my questions and you just seem, well, so altogether helpful. It takes a great person to come on this board and provide information for people in need. Very unselfish. I just see so many people getting attacked lately... that I just wanted to say something positive to you guys... and oh.. p.s. you handle it so well. Not sure I could do the same. Take care all, Kristi :-)
