What kind of ailment would you like to cure with the hypnosis cds?

I have mild depression, and anxiety that stems from irrational thoughts. I see a therapist once a week, and I am on the lowest dose (150mg) of Wellbutrin SR, once a day. The low dose of Wellbutrin, plus the therapy once a week have helped dramatically, but I still have a bit of trouble with the anxiety. While it’s not as bad as it was a couple months ago, I still find myself on edge and worried about irrational things quite often. I have close friends to talk to, a great supportive family, and I love where I’m at in my life, but I feel like this kind of cloud of anxiety that hangs out in the back of my mind is keeping me from being as happy as possible.
I also do self talk and deep breathing exercises, but they are not getting rid of the problem. I am ok with having some anxiety about giving a presentation or something normal, I know that that will never go away, but I can’t stand constantly worrying that some catastrophe is going to happen (the irrational thoughts).
So basically the question is…has anyone ever tried hypnosis for anxiety? I thought maybe it would help if when hypnotized, someone told me that my fears/worry were not real.
Has anyone done anything else that’s completely resolved their anxiety that I am not doing (self talk,exercise, music, writing, praying, therapy, staying busy with things I like, supportive friends and family, Wellbutrin, deep breathing)? I’d like to try to avoid increasing the meds, so any other suggestions would be great!

I would really appreciate real answers, and will definitely give 10 points to anyone who can suggest something from experience that really helped them, or can answer my questions about hypnotherapy.
Also, please no rude or stupid answers (ie: calm down, chill out).

I am looking for guided imagery CDs but all I seem to be find is hypnosis CDs. Guided imagery from what I remember has a speaker who has you focus on a beach, the sound of the waves, and the sun shining down. Or waking through a calm forest with birds chirping. The speaker guides you like a storyteller.

Everything I’ve encountered so far has the speaker trying to boost once self-esteem or implant other hypnotic suggestions. I just want something that uses my imagination to take me somewhere else for relaxation. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t seem to find them.

I’ve tried hypnosis, and the thing with all the needles…what do they call that…um…oh, heroine.

What else?

hypnosis is a total and I repeat total control of the mind as I have seen in some videos, I was wondering…
1.- If hypnosis is effective, why is that there are so many people struggling with drugs dependency?
2.- why not applying hypnosis in hospitals as a common practice?
3.- in schools and daily life?
4.- every day mutual hypnosis for a happy marriage?
5.- to eat veggies you don’t like
what are the limits?

Is possible to hypnotize using just words in writing way? If there is quotes here a text.

Will be that there are videos or pictures that to cause hypnosis? I saw animated GIFS with vertiginous optical illusions; would be useful to hypnotize?

I also want to know if I-DOSER is some kind of audio hypnosis, and if can be used to self-hypnosis.

Can anyone make me/ find an online hypnosis audio/video that has to do with self-confidence?Preferably not with a corny nature-intro.
Best answer 10 points, and a star on this question+stars on two other questions that you’ve answered.

I’m interested in ways to use the mind through meditation, hypnosis, etc., for healing myself. Any sources and/or success stories would be great. I have seen the Silva method of meditation – anyone know if that works? Thank you.
