30 yr old female with BPD and really want to get rid of it. Can someone PLEASE help?

I'm 30 years old
Have 3 children (girls)
With each birth Bi-polar symptoms got worse.
Was med for it, but I felt is wasn't working.
I am overweight (5'6' & 173 lbs)
have migraines, constipation, and feel cold if I'm anywhere that's cooler than 75 degrees fahrenheit.
I get terrible mood swings and yell at my kids for little things.
But I'm over it in no time if I can walk away from the situation for a few minutes to calm down.
I have violent tendencies if I am not able to distance myself and the issue progresses.
I have the urge to bite in aggression.
I am a very caring person; I'll help anyone in need if I can. I think it's because I have a strong sense of empathy.
I love sweet foods and chocolate, Pepsi, and fruits. I often over eat these things.
I don't smoke.
The med I was on (Topamax) made me lose a lot of weight - that helped my self esteem - but I discovered that alcohol consumption took away that effect and now, even if I only have half of a serving of alcohol, my body seems to freak out and I gain FAST.
I'm not fond of exercise, because my bones seem to dislocate and it hurts. My hips do dislocate, more frequently than ever now.
I feel stiff in my back often, and my range of motion is small because of it.
My mother and brother both have bi-polar.
My mom has always been out there, as far as I can remember, and my brother won't accept he has it. He is now pretty much living in a fabricated world. I do not want to let things go that far.
I am the 2nd of two children.
Very sensitive, though mostly will respond with irritation.
Menstruation is quite heavy.
I also have times when I will go without food for days because my weight and figure is so depressing to me.
I have anxiety if I have to go toa lace where I am expected to interact with a lot of people I don't know. I feel they will judge me and find me to be ugly, fat, and not worth their time.
I had to quit my online college courses due to inability to stay focused. I was only taking 2 courses at a time.
I have memory of an elehant when it comes to what has already happened, been said or done. But I can never remember TO DO things (appointments and the like).
I spend too much time on the computer (which worries me, because I use it as an escape).
Small hands and feet. (don't know if that matters)
get pain in between my shoulder blades (feels like it's knotting up).
Though it may not matter much, as far as physical stuff goes, I was molested by my stepfather from age 2-4. I would hurt and try to kill any small animal as a way to vent frustration (I'm guessing that's why, anyway).

Could someone please help me with this. I probably missed a lot of stuff, but it's often difficult to concentrate. My mind wanders even now, to irrelevent things, and I am trying to finish this post without sounding as messed up as I feel.

Thanks, in advance.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Please take three doses of Kali Carb 200c at a gap of 4 hours on a single day. Please note that the medicine is not to be taken daily but only on one day.
Please observe change in your symptoms and report back after 15 day.
One dose means
If the medicine is in pills form 4 pills. Don't touch pills with hand. Use cap of bottle to take pills.
If the medicine is in liquid dilution form, 3-4 drops in some 20 ml water. Sip up slowly.
Please follow homeo restrictions like no coffee, no raw onion/garlic, no strong perfumes, don't eat or drink anything within 30 minutes before or after taking medicine.

I just ordered it. It will be a couple days, as today is a Saturday and items are shipped on weekdays. I will report back 15 days after receiving it. (Probably in about 19 days.)
Also, do I need to not smell and consume these things for entire 15 days, or just the first day when I take the Kali Carb? I only ask because my husband often wants coffee, and expects garlic in almost everything I cook for him.

The restrictions apply for the entire 15 day period.

Thanks for the info. Here's to hoping my husband will understand. He sees how much I want to be rid of this mood disorder. Will report to you at the end of 15 days.

One thing I forgot, because I had been like this for as long as I can remember, is that I have a very low body temperature. My usual normal temp ranges between 95.8 and 97.2 . On times when I have done a lot of exertion my temp may reach as high as 98 degrees. Yet there have been times when I have taken it, not feeling at all well, and it was below 95 degrees. I am certain this relates to thyroid function. Since thyroid problem was listed in the description of the med you prescribed, I'm not worried I meesed up by forgetting to list it in my first post.

Again, thanks for helping me. It's noon and I just took the second dose. I was not expecting to feel anything at all today. However, I have felt completely drained and sluggish since about an hour after taking the first dose this morning. I figured I would mention that while I'm here posting anyway. I am just going to try to have faith that God has led the right person to help me. I'll only post again if something alarming comes up. Aside from feeling drained nothing seems out of the ordinary.

Okay, it has been about a week since taking the remedy. I wanted to know if I should be feeling as I do. The morning after taking the 3 doses I woke up pain free for the first time in many months. The following day my pain was back (hips and back) with a headache to boot. I had also, a few months ago, rid myself of my seasonal allergies by nearly eliminating dairy intake.For the past 3 days I have been completely conjested and my nose runs clear watery snot every time I raise from lying, sitting, etc. My headache has been present almost the entire time. My hearing is muffled in my right ear (assuming sinus is cause) and it hurts when I need to blow my nose. My temperment has changed a bit (milder) and my weight has spiraled out of control. I am now 179 lbs. I also started my period 6 days early this month. It is usually quite punctual. So I am listing that here as well. My desire for sweet foods (cookies, candy, etc.) Has about tripled. It is very difficult to resist, but I am trying very hard. I am becoming alarmed and wonder: am I proving the medicine or experiencing a healing crisis? Thanks for a timely response.

The remedy seems to be indicated in your case. But you should keep patience. It is not good to lose control over one's diet. Please report after 1 week.

Please read my posts on the breathing exercises called as Anulom Vilom Pranayam and Kapalbhati Pranayam by following the links given below. These breathing exercises are good for weight reduction, hypo-thyroidism and to calm down the mind. Please practise these pranayams regularly for half an hour preferably in a garden early in the morning.

I will try to do the deep breathing exercises. However, I am still quite conjested and it is very difficult to get in a lungfull of air through both nostrils, much less one.

In regards to my dietary habits, little has changed. I am simply craving things that I feel I should not. I always liked sweet things, but rarely craved them. Now I desire them far too often and too strongly.

I am not a person who is eager for 'instant gratification' or results. I realize it may be some time for things to really seem improved. I also realize that, as with many people who are seeking help here, multiple remedies may be required to get complete healing. I am eager for my mind to slow down, though. It has become problematic in regards to getting anything fully accomplished (housework, reading, other projects). It has been this way for as long as I remember. My husband teasingly calls me 'shiney girl' because I am so easily distracted. But, as I said, I know it will take time.

Thank you for the informtion on deep breathing. And thank you for the guidance.

Hello again. It has been 17 days since taking the remedy. I have the following to report:

Decreased irritability and snappiniess.

I feel calmer. When I do get upset/angry, I do not have the violent impulses I used to contend with.

Moodiness has lessened considerably.

I haven't had a headache in a long while.

Sinus congestion has gone away in daytime, but returns during the night and I wake up conjested.

I do not rely on laxatives to alleviate constipation anymore.

My hip pain is almost nonexistant. Stiffiness is still coming and going throughout the day.

My weight GAIN has stopped. (However I can not seem to lose weight yet.) I am still 5 lbs more than I was when I first posted here.

I do have an increased amount of energy through the day.

I do not feel cold all the time. Noticably quite warm if I wake from sleep and in the morning.

My desire for sweets has lessened a bit. It also seems I require less sweets to feel satisfied from them.

My concentration is still poor. I find myself frustratedly searching for words in the middle of speaking.

Have not had occasion to observe my social anxiety, yet. But I am still quite self-concious. (Especially as I have put on even more weight.)

As I noted in a previous post my period came about 6 days early.

I think that about covers all the points. I would say I can live with the unresolved points, but, as I am very self-concious, the weight issue is something I really want to fix. As the gain has stoped, I am hoping it will begin to reverse. I want to note, though, that I HAVE been walking on the treadmill about 4-5 days in the last week (for about 1.5 hrs/night avg.)

Is there a step 2 to this process of remedying? Or do I continue to wait and see if the remaining issues resolve?

Please don't take any remedy for the time being. Please monitor your symptoms carefully and whenever in future you find that the irritability is back on sustained basis, you should take a single dose of Kali Carb 1M. You should not take any other remedy after that for 1 month.
Please do the deep breathing exercises regularly 15-30 minutes everyday.

Thank you very much for your help. I am amazed as how much more at peace I am feeling. I will order the 1M potency to have in case of need. I am so thankful to you for your help. I think that taking my healthcare under my control was the best thing I have ever done. It is a shame more people do not. God bless. And take care.
