Sleep and obsessions
Can someone help me. I'm 24. Since i've broken up with my girlfriend six months ago, i've moved back in with friends and have decided to go travelling round the world which i leave for in november. The trouble is since the break up i've been suffering from sleep deprevation and find that i'm waking up a lot during the night, a lot of the times thinking about my previous relationship even though i'm glad i'm out of it now. I've also become obessed with getting fit and eating right before i go away. The trouble is i'm constantly reading nutrition information to a point of obsession and always counting my calorie intake for the day, feeling guilty if i've gone over the top. I'm constantly worried about my weight and keep on checking my stomach incase i'm getting fat, which is extreme because i'm 6 foot two and weigh in at 78 kg. Are these things all linked? How can i just chill out like i used to be? I've tryed hypnosis but to no avail.

I'd guess that all those symptoms are linked.
I'm not a behavioral specialist, but it sounds very much to me as if you have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). There may be other issues as well. If so, hypnosis is not normally the best tool to use against OCD.
It's a common misconception to think that this sort of thing can be "thought away", that it's a flaw in your personality. But the problem is neurochemical, as real and physical as a fractured skull. It requires professional care.
The good news is that there are effective treatments available, generally a combination of medication and therapy. Talk to your doctor; she or he can refer you to a specialist for a full evaluation.
Good luck!
