Thank you Andrew, I'll look into that technique. Today I've been trying my best to feel more positive and I actually feel a lot healthier for it. The power of the mind is amazing.
I actually live in Ireland but thank you for your help.. I live in a quite rural area so it isn't easy to come across people who practice more alternative/natural therapies. I've been precribed beta blockers, antidepressants and painkillers but I'm not taking any of them out of principle. I don't want to numb my feelings, I want to work through them

So a natural health care practitioner does seem like my way to go, I need to just strike a balance between help from our conventional healthcare and more hollistic therapy.
