抑鬱病的療癒
嚴重抑鬱和瘡傷後壓力症的療癒
R.Z. (43歲) ，墨爾本小組，澳洲
自小孩時我已抑鬱，父親經常對我粗暴，我總是非常沉默和緊張，睡眠質素差勁；9歲時我遭到性騷擾，家人知道這事，卻沒有制止。16歲時我試圖以過量服食藥丸的方式自殺，卻不成功；在校內，我全部科目都不合格，這讓我更憎恨自己，相信自己一無是處；18歲時遷離家，自22歲起接受精神治療超過4年，沒有服藥，因為害怕副作用；結婚3年之後婚姻破裂，而診治我的精神科醫生告訴我他已經愛莫能助。我遊走於心理學家、精神科醫生、醫生、醫院、靈性治療師和治療從業員之間，每個孩童時的回憶都會引發生理崩潰，我會躲藏起來，感到極度惶恐，恍如心臟病發作，之後不省人事多個小時。我會鎖上門關閉自己，痛哭流涕，直至睡倒。抑鬱、焦慮和惶恐發作簡直太過嚴重，2003年，我住進精神科診所，經檢測後，醫生給我處方藥物（舒憂，後來Avenza，即米氮平），藥物對我有幫助，我以為一切都會重回正軌，可是，靈魂深處仍有陰影使我高聲吶喊。2005年，在精神科醫生的協助下，我嘗試中斷服藥。當我將藥片（30微克）服用量減低時，戒斷症象開始浮現：陣陣滴汗、疼痛、焦慮、顫抖、噁心和幽閉恐懼，只好決定繼續服藥，醫生處方安眠藥和對抗戒斷症象的Valium，可是，當我將Avenza的服用量再次提升至60微克時，所有戒斷徵象消失，我大失所望，因為知道這顯示我非常倚賴這藥物，感到有生之年都要與醫生和治療共渡，抑鬱症異常嚴重，以致我終日以淚洗面，全身都痛，只想了此殘生，決定於2007年7月1日自我結束生命。
Healing from severe depression and anxiety disorder
E. B. (50), Ergoldsbach (Germany)
In the year 1995, an ominous situation developed at my workplace - mobile nursing care - mobbing was becoming widespread. This caused me to develop permanent anxiety, and I could hardly do my job any more. In 1997, my frame of mind was so shattered that, for example, I was neither able to fill a syringe nor administer intramuscular Injections. At home I could no longer calm down, and I was plagued by thoughts of suicide. A neurologist had me admitted to the district hospital because of acute self-endangerment. At first I was completely sedated, so that I hardly perceived anything. After eight weeks without significant improvement I was released at my own risk on the condition that I undergo psychiatric treatment. On the one hand the prescribed medication did help me to somehow be active, but on the other hand everything was insensitive and mechanical. In the end it helped just as little as conversational therapy.
Healing from alcohol addiction and depression
J. L. (54), Buffalo (USA)
Shortly after my 18th birthday (1968) I began to drink beer and schnapps. I would drink 12 to 18 beers a day from Monday to Sunday. It was normal for me at the time to come home from work, change clothes, go to my favourite hangout and stay there until three o’clock in the morning. Then I would get up at seven o’clock and go to work, always with a terrible hangover. I was working in the construction industry at the time. This happened day after day. Thus it became the pattern of my life. Today I can’t understand how I was able to survive for 35 years with such excessive alcohol consumption.
Healing of depression
Mrs N. D. (49), Frankfurt (Germany)
I was often nervous, reacted irritably at the slightest thing and felt oppressed to the point of suffocation. A Russian healer gave me some relief through a laying on of hands, but it only lasted a short while.
My introduction to the teachings of Bruno Gröning released a real revolution within me. I hardly slept and my whole body was in turmoil. After about three weeks, it was as if all my emotional problems had been blown away. I feel free, happy and like a person of value with faith in the future.
Healing of depression
Mrs M. L. (42), Bebra (Germany)
Before I found my way to the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends, I had suffered from depression for over six years with bouts of anxiety, and had no interest in everyday events. Even getting up in the morning was a torment. I was afraid of every situation I encountered. I was often unable to think clearly, sat without any interest in what was going on around me and the lightest housework was beyond me. I took various medicines in differing strengths, first Baldrian, then Demetrin, Tofranil and Saroten tablets.
Five days after my introduction to the teachings of Bruno Gröning and absorbing the healing stream, all my problems were simply gone. Since then I have not had an attack of anxiety. I get up easily in the morning and I take an interest in all my daily activities. I no longer need medication and am free from depression.
Healing of depression
Mrs E. G. (64), Heidelberg (Germany)
In 1985, at the age of 59, I was laid off work. This came as such a shock that I fell into a deep depression. I could no longer sleep at night, neglected my flat, was unsociable and apathetic and lacked the courage to go out shopping. I began to cry whenever somebody spoke to me. For over four years, I received injections of Vitamin B12 and Imap (neuroleptic drug with depot effect) with no result. At the time of my introduction to the teachings of Bruno Gröning, in November 1989, I was at an all-time low.
Immediately after my introduction, I pulled myself together and since then my flat has always been in order. After three weeks I felt as if the years of depression had never been. Since then, I have been free from depression, and every form of apathy or withdrawal has simply disappeared. I have also been able to discontinue my medication.
Healing of depression
Mr R. B. (25), Linz (Austria)
For three years I suffered from depression which manifested as
follows: difficulty in breathing, suicidal tendencies, loneliness, fear of people, no interest in anything, joylessness, nightmares and vomiting. I was almost continually in bed. Before examinations I lost all self-confidence and often cancelled at the last moment. Psychotherapeutic treatment brought only temporary improvement.
Soon after my introduction to the teachings of Bruno Gröning, in March 1995, I suddenly felt a surge of power and an emotional freedom so that for the first time in a long while, I simply laughed because I felt wonderful. I have an unexpected zest for life, no longer feel tired and am truly healthy.
