Hi Scott,
Glad somebody feels the same way as I do about what constitutes a response for them.
It's strange really, for just over a year I've been going to these weekly spiritual sessions (where they pray over you). I tend to sit on the fence as far as religion goes, neither believing or disbelieving. I know that when I'm feeling very bad though, I think that God is punishing me.
The spiritual healing sessions haven't really been helping (at least I don't think they have) but I made a friend there who became a born again christian years ago after experiencing the power of the holy spirit. I asked her how it felt and she said that she suddenly noticed the colours of everything around her, how they seemed really vivid. I asked her if she was taking any medication at the time as it sounds something like an antidepressant response. I keep going to the spiritual healing hoping that if the medication doesn't work then perhaps I'll be invested with the Power of the Holy Spirit instead. I would like to have some faith in something as I don't feel I have any faith in anything apart from medication (and that doesn't work so well any more). I just think maybe if I could truly believe that there was a God up there and he/she/it loved me then it might help me a bit.
I do hate myself sometimes for always being so negative about more hollistic treatments, secretly I envy people who do feel better from exercise or taking vitamin B tablets or therapy.
