I tried to respond to your post, Hugh, but something wasn't working right. So anyway..
I recently became aware of neurofeedback. I went to do some research and saw your post referencing this great article! I've been obsessively scouring for more information since then. I feel like this could potentially be life changing for me...which I'm not 100% sure of my diagnosis yet as I only began seeking medical help as of May this year. PTSD, bipolar, mood swings, paranoia, everyone hates me....just some relevant key words that been referenced by my doc/self. I am a recovering meth addict and I'll used it for 3-4 years..HEAVILY. I'll be the first to admit that I'm probably responsible for what now transpires in my noggin on a a regular basis. This is what scares me to death...what if I can't be fixed?! Maybe I've permanently damaged myself! But then my internal soldier will surface, making me refuse to accept this as my fate. There has to be a way! Patience has never been a strength of mine. (Hence, my instant gratification craving drug addicted past) however, I've take. The first step in seeking medical help, even though this could be a very tedious and long road ahead. Reading about what's out there, knowing there are people who have/are experiencing the same as me and realizing treatments like neurofeedback do exist....helps keep my spirits high. At least a long road does end...it's the "forever" that I wont accept.
