Anacardium
Dear doctors.My main complaints are depression, mental fatigue, lack of confidence, troubled thoughts, absent mindedness and poor concentration. I was treated by a homeopath who prescribed Anacardium O after having carried out an indebt study of me. He prescribed me Anacardium 1M which he told me to repeat initially twice a day for 15 days. I reported that there was improvement in my symptoms. He then told me to continue this once daily for 7 days so I did. I reported to him that certain symptoms started re-appear but I was still feeling OK and he told me to continue by taking it on alternating days for 10 days so i did. I then noticed that it was no longer having a positive effect on me and my symptoms were returning. I stopped treatment from the homeopath and took some strong coffee. This was about 2 and a half weeks ago. About 4 days ago I took a single dose of Anacardium 1M on my own accord. After a day I started feeling some improvements again in my self confidence and mental fatigue. How do I proceed from here in order to complete my recovery?
Thanks,
Ahmed.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
pls wait for 15 days and after that take one dose of psorinum 200 and again you have to wait for 15 days and your recovery will be permanent...

Thanks for the quick reply. Why have you suggested an intercurrent remedy (psorinum) as apposed to a gradual increase in potency of the remedy that has benefited me initially?

Dear doctors.
It is day 6 since I took Anacardium 1M and I am finding that the initial getting better feeling I got has gone and rather I am feeling some of the symptoms gradually re-appearing. Should I persevere for the 15 days and then take psorinum or should I repeat Anacardium?

24. What exactly is happening ?
I have a lack of self confidence. I have a deep sadness and gloomy outlook. Since childhood I have been bashful. My father reminds me that when I was a baby I used to cry even if someone looked at me. And I used to hide if someone came to our home. My parents divorced when I was 10. My mother was harsh and had high expectations. She would ocassionaly beat us. Following these episodes it left me very angry, humiliated, wanting to cry and thinking of all kinds of ways that I would like to get revenge. But being a child of course I was helpless and I tended to forget very quickly though.
I hated joining new social groups but my mother forced us top attend. I hated having to mix with new people, I preferred to play with my old friends. I have a continuous feeling of being inadequate and this is what comes to mind. I am very conscious of what people may think about me.
At school, college and university I preferred to be by myself, I tended to avoid company.
I always tried to put a brave front on although inside I was feeling awkward.
Since childhood I have had the feeling that there are expectations on my shoulder. And that if I ask for help then people would think I am weak or something. I had the strange feeling that others were also talking about me or watching me which made me feel uneasy.
My other complaint is that I get mental blocks. This has effected my studies, this has effected my confidence and my progress in life. I am not able to talk fluidly. I keep pausing after a few words to hav to think of a word or think about what I am saying. The mental blocks make me feel useless and angry. It is embarrassing and I think that what will people think about me, even though nobody says anything.
My concentration is poor and I am forgetful and absent minded. If someone asks me to read a paragraph and summarise it, I will not be able to remember what I have read or I will not be able to express it.
I dread making presentations and public meetings, in case I make a mistake or embarrass myself.
Extreme physical and mental fatigue. This is worse in the afternoons.
26. How does this affect you ?
I feel overly self conscious about it. I might feel paniky.
27. How does it feel like ?
This makes me feel am embarrassed and angry. I will also feel despair and helplessness. I will feel like disappearing from the situation and go and be by myself. I feel like wanting to cry. I might feel humiliation.
28. What comes to your mind ?
That I am useless.
29. One situation that had a big effect on you ?
I have had one broken marriage. It lasted a very short while maybe just a couple of weeks. It was arranged and I never felt comfortable with the person I was marrying. It inevitably didnt work. I felt much better when I was by myself and not with her. I accepted the proposal for marriage. Nobody forced me but for some reason I thought that it would be a crime if I didnt accept.
30. How did that feel like ?
When it didnt work I preferred to be alone. I didnt want company and people around me discussing what, why, who etc. I didnt want people feeling sorry for me. At social gatherings I dreaded people asking me about it. I used to think that when someone would look at me they would be thinking about it or others were talking about me. I used to hate going to these functions. I didnt want people to think that I am effected by it, so I may go to one or two events just to try to put a brave face on but inside I would be dreading all the time.
31. What sensation do you experience in that situation ?
When I am embarrassed I feel sensation of heat erupting in my body.
32. What are you showing by that gesture of your hand.(habits or Action) ?
33. desire or like and dislike of food

Dear Doctors. Is there a doctor who could advise a constitutional remedy on the case history that I have submitted above. Secondly, can someone please elaborate on what the constitution of a Silicea patient is and if it could apply to me? I have been given a number of remedies by a homeopath, I have benefited from some of the remedies but recovery has been short lived. Any advice is hugely appreciated.
