Hello everyone. I am new to paraliminals. A friend gave me a couple of CDs which I have been listening to for 1 week now. I was quite impressed with the way it is recorded but am wondering if paraliminals truly work.

I read quite a few messages and it seems some people have seen results almost immediately - but I have not. At least not yet anyway.

I am going through a lot of negativity right now in my life and no matter what I do, I can't seem to move past it.

You see, I am the problem. At least I am believing what people around me are telling me. These people are work colleagues. They treat me like a child (I am 47 years old!) and I really feel bullied by them. No matter what I do, I get into trouble and then come home feeling hopeless and useless.

In the past 3 months, the colleagues have said or done things that are truly hurtful. I know they don't mean it, and are simply either blurting it out without thinking or are just being playful. But the things they say and the labels they give me are quite hurtful and make me react in a way which makes them say bad things about me more. Before, they used to say it behind my back. Today, they are openly telling me to my face what an idiot I am.

The main problem here is that they think I have a thick skin, which I don't. I have even had a conversation with my boss about it but she has, it seems, forgotten her part or authority, and gets in on the fun with my team mates. She calls me a compulsive liar (although she has not been able to tell me why she thinks so, of me) and tells everyone that I never shut up or I have imaginary friends. This is very hurtful and I just don't have the courage to tell her and my team mates to leave me alone.

I guess I am writing here because I really need help. Otherwise, I can see myself throwing a hot cup of coffee on the next person who calls me a grump or a liar which will only result into me losing my job.

I don't understand why people can be so mean. These "adults" don't even stop to think how all this is affecting me. To them, it's all fun - and when it is not, when I go on the defensive and shut up for hours -they think I am 'sulking" or being difficult yet again. They don't realize it is their bullying that drives me to my reaction.

I have been listening to anxiety free and positive thinking paraliminals for 1 week and don't see any result. So I am wondering, do they really help? I get into the listening session with an open mind and heart and ready to absorb the suggestions.

If they work, then can someone tell me what is preventing me from seeing the results even after 1 week of listening.

Please and thanks in advance.
