Had a couple of year that I would like to forget completely, or better yet be convinced I was on some great South American fishing trip or something. Anybody have any ideas on how to achieve this? I'm only sort of half kidding really.

Oh and I've tried alchohol and head injuries, often at the same time.

Hypnotism doesn't work like that. Therapy doesn't either, but it'll help you accept and move on from whatever trauma you're trying to escape.

Seriously? Hypnotism? Maybe that trauma of yours involved some brain damage, because it's a hell of a leap to think any credible hypnotist would even suggest trying to forcibly remove months of your memory.

[hemmingjay]

hence "half kidding". Yeah, accepting something isn't always enough.

As you watch this, you're getting more and more sleepy...

Yeah Hypnotism isn't really a good option for many reasons

1) On a practical side hypnotism only works very well on around 5-10% of the world's population. Those outside of that population are MUCH tougher to train to be receptive. Given that your asking for full blown amnesia, something tough enough to word yet alone to do, it can take years.
2) Hypnosis is more like the power of belief, yes I know it is an oversimplification, and while indeed you may not consciously be aware of the events that transpired, or worse you are but are unable to express them, and if you can hardly take it your unconscious won't either.
3) Training to be sensative to hypnosis makes you... more sensative to hypnosis and frankly... Hypnosis is rather unsafe and unpredictable. The number of hypnosis guides written in hypnotic language, to hypnotise you, is astounding and frankly almost killed my urge to research it more on its own.
4) Ultimately you are better off comming to terms with the experience on your own since hypnosis can only give you the illusion of wellbeing when used in that manner.

Ultimately it just isn't that helpful for actual psychological issues... at least on its own.

Yes I have practiced Hypnosis on others (since I am nearly essentially incapable of being hypnotised myself... Dang trust issues) so I do know some of this subject.

Ohh and

5) Hypnosis is full of FAKE!!! No I don't mean hypnosis is fake, honestly I can only understand most people's doubts as fear or the belief that the human will is blaw blaw blaw or because Stage hypnosis, but rather that actually looking for helpful hypnosis and hypnosis information can be nearly impossible.

As a suggestion...

Do NOT, and PLEASE do not look elsewhere, try hypnosis to do this.

No honestly I should put it in all Caps

DO NOT USE HYPNOSIS IN PLACE OF ACTUAL PSYCHOLOGICAL AID

If your just interested in some cool hypnosis I guess I can understand though...

Well that doesn't work.

Hypnosis Myth 1: Hypnosis cannot make you do anything your really deadset on not doing. While this rule of thumb is VERY relaxed depending on the person, and dang can it be relaxed for some people, your not really going to get anyone to kill anyone they probably wouldn't have anyway.

[ChairmanPoo]

That's it. Hemmingjay, I'm getting fed up with this organs!

Worship Sif Muna, once you get enough piety you can invoke Selective Amnesia.

Hi!

What Neonivek said is mostly correct.

Still, I am pretty much the closest you will come to what you're asking for, and while I can't outright delete years of memories I can still do some pretty... interesting things if you are still interested. Please PM me with some more details regardless, this looks tasty! I might be able to help...
(And before you ask, this post is both serious and honest.)

I heard about this experimental drug that's working its way through the FDA that removes the emotional connection to memories you relive while under its effects.  You still have the memory, but thinking about it doesn't bother you.

That sounds really dangerous though, and like the other people said you're better off just coming to terms with whatever you did or whatever happened to you.

I don't have a response for this.

He's obviously the experimental drug.
