Seeking help with acne and anxiety
Hi my name is Amanda, I am 23 yrs old and have been suffering from acne and anxiety since I was 18. I been on Cymbalta for about a year to help with my anxiety and I did see a tremendous change when I first started to take it now not so much. I would like to not be on medication for I know their are many side effects. Also, the acne has been a problem and has never seemed to get better no matter what I do. I have spent so much money on top of the line products like dermologica, proactive, and prescribed topical and tablets. I mainly break out on my forehead with cystic pimples, white heads, and some black heads. My chin with cystic and black heads. Around and on my nose with black heads and cystic. Surprisingly never on my checks. In the past two years my back and chest has been breaking out with white heads or pimples that don't have a head and on my back cystic and white heads. It has become such a disaster and because I pick out of nervousness I have tons of scars. I can't seem to stop picking my face or back even though I know it makes it 10x worse. I just want it to go away so that I have nothing to pick at!If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it! At this point I will try anything. If there is anymore info you need to know I will be happy to give.
Thank you,
Amanda

I will post my intake form. See how you go answering the questions.
GUIDELINES FOR GIVING HOMOEOPATHIC CASE INFORMATION
It is important to describe all your problems in as much detail as you are able. One word answers and short sentences are not particularly helpful. Discuss each problem one at a time, providing (as a minimum level of detail) the following information.
1. What exactly happens?
2. Describe all sensations and pains. Each pain or sensation should be described in such a way that allows us to imagine having the same pain.
3. What causes the problem to get worse after it has started occurring?
4. What creates some relief for the problem?
5. What triggers the problem into occuring?
6. What time of the day or night does the problem occur?
7. When did the problem start? What was happening in your life at that time? Did some specific event or treatment take place just before the problem started?
Move from one problem to the next, doing the same thing. IT IS VITAL THAT YOU GIVE A COMPLETE PICTURE OF YOUR HEALTH BY PROVIDING ALL PROBLEMS YOU HAVE, EVEN IF NOT CONNECTED TO THE MAIN ONE, AND EVEN IF YOU CONSIDER IT OF LESS IMPORTANCE.
You should address each problem separately using the above 7 questions as a guide. Do not put all your complaints into each of the 7 questions. Discuss one problem at a time. If you have, for example, a headache with nausea, do each component separately too (what makes the head pain worse or better, what makes the nausea worse or better).
As well as this, please describe any traumatic incidents that have taken place in your life. Discuss anything that has had a lasting impact on you mentally, emotionally or physically.
Discuss the way that you manage or deal with your problems, or any problems that occur in your life.
Discuss any patterns you have noticed in your behavior especially concerning your disease.
Discuss any part of your life where you feel stuck or unable to change and grow, especially where this occurred around the beginning of your disease, or as the disease evolved.
Describe your childhood and the kind of environment you grew up in, with reference to your relationships with your family, your school experiences, and any serious childhood diseases.
If your earlier discussions have not mentioned these already, please describe:
1. The specific foods that you crave (not just like) or hate
2. The specific drinks that you crave or hate
3. What your sleep is like
4. How the weather and the temperature affects you
5. What kinds of things in the environment you are particularly sensitive to
6. What your general level of energy is like
7. What your level of sexual energy or desire is like

a) Body type and build
b) Skin colour and texture
c) Areas of the body tends to perspire on
d) Odour of sweat, body, stool, flatus, urine

Thank you for responding David. I filled out the form as best as I could.
1. What exactly happens?
When I feel anxiety several different things happen but not all at once I guess it depends on the situation. Sometimes I get hives around my neck, chest,back, or stomach and I itch almost with out realizing. Other times my heart beats fast and I feel like I am going to cry usually when I am under a lot of stress. I also feel like I can not think straight like 100 thoughts are running through my head.
2. Describe all sensations and pains. Each pain or sensation should be described in such a way that allows us to imagine having the same pain.
I usually just feel like my blood is pumping fast and feel like I am losing control, I don't really experience pains unless I get myself so upset that my stomach hurts.
3. What causes the problem to get worse after it has started occurring?
If someone yells at me for itching or picking (such as my mom) or brings it to my attention that I am breaking out at hives. If I dont take myself out of the situation and find something to distract me I seem to get tired and depressed (this is very hard for me to do).
4. What creates some relief for the problem?
Sometimes taking a shower to calm the hives or my mom will tickle my back, now that I am on cymbalta that also seems to help.
5. What triggers the problem into occuring?
I've notice when I lose something valuable or not I tend to get crazied and can't let it go till I find it. I have even had a totally break down once when I lost my sunglasses. Also a lot of times when I am in school and getting a lot of work and I don't know how I am going to complete it. If people are arguing around me I tend to get very nervous.
6. What time of the day or night does the problem occur?
Anytime really, anything that upsets ,e which I feel like I am very sensitive and take things to heart. Once something bothers me I keep playing it over and over in my head it is hard for me to let it go.
7. When did the problem start? What was happening in your life at that time? Did some specific event or treatment take place just before the problem started?
I feel like when I was a senior in high school, it started but not as severe as it is now.I was taking on a lot of responsibilities at that time such as school president, cheerleading captain,applying for college. Once I went away to college I became very depressed, I also started birth control at this time for my cramps . I gained about 20lbs and I wasn't sure why and then I stop taking birth control about a two years now and i have lost all the weight this past year. But I still am getting anxiety and some depression.

Describe your childhood and the kind of environment you grew up in, with reference to your relationships with your family, your school experiences, and any serious childhood diseases.
I get nauseous when I eat certain things, I found out that I have a herniated stomach and this is why that happens.
I tend to get head aches toward the back of my head when ever I am stressed and worrying a lot.
I hate that my skin is never completely clear and although I do not have severe acne, I am still veryy unhappy with the scars because I pick at my face and back, it is a very bad habit I have and do it without even noticing. Not sure why I do it, because I do it so often morning day and night.
I also have bad sinuses, I get a lot of soar throats, ear aches and get sick often. I have used a nedi pot to clear my sinuses and it helps temporarily.
I have a hard time telling people how I fell and usually let things build up. My parents never had a healthy relationship and been divorced since I was 5yrs old. My mom use to be very high strung yelled a lot mainly with my older sister.
I also had an incident when I was in kindergarten where I believe I was molested by an older boy during recess and told my mom. It is very vague to me now and am not sure if it ever really did happen, but I remember hating school for a long time and never wanting my mom to leave me.
If your earlier discussions have not mentioned these already, please describe:
1. The specific foods that you crave (not just like) or hate
I crave desserts such as cookies or ice cream. Recently I love frozen yogurt with strawberries, blueberries, and brownie bites.
2. The specific drinks that you crave or hate
I crave hot teas such as early grey with milk and sugar. I can not drink milk shakes because they make me extremely nauseous so there for I hate them.
3. What your sleep is like
I usually get 7-8hrs of sleep but still wake up tired. I also do not sleep straight through the night, I usually toss and turn.
4. How the weather and the temperature affects you
I love the summer and the sun makes me happy, I hate rain and gloomy days I usually don't want to leave the house or do anything.
5. What kinds of things in the environment you are particularly sensitive to
6. What your general level of energy is like
Very low, I will get a small spurt of energy. My mom thinks I am lazy, which I do not like I wish I was more helpful
7. What your level of sexual energy or desire is like
Low I had a boyfriend for 5yrs and he complained I never wanted to be sexual. Now and then I will get urges, mainly when I am drinking. I know I never had an orgasm.Until this year I only had one sexual partner and that was my boyfriend.
8. Describe your menstrual cycle
I have to admit I am very bad at noticing if it is on time or not, but it seems to be regular. Some months I will have terrible cramps for a day or two and other barley any. It usually last 5 days and can go from extremely light to somewhat heavy.
9. Also give these details
a) Body type and build: I am 125lbs 5'6', use to be athletic so I am still somewhat toned.
b) Skin colour and texture: I am light skin and can get tan in the sun. I have dry skin, my shoulders and arms get dry spots that can flake.
c) Areas of the body tends to perspire on: mainly just under arms.
d) Odour of sweat, body, stool, flatus, urine: I do not really get odors when I wear deodorant, my urine does tend to smell like whatever I drink especially if it is caffeine or alcohol. I can be very gasy, especially with milk and if I eat something too oily.
e) Colour of stool, urine, sweat: Urine is usually yellow or clear, stool is usually brownish.
10. Give any reactions to vaccines or medical drugs. When I was a teenager my doctor gave my the hpv vaccination and the arm I had it injected in became very itchy especially the palm, so I did not continue with the other two that you were suppose to have.

Ok great, thank you. I will go through this and probably have a few things I need you to expand on for me.
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Can you describe more on the following. By describe more, expand on the description, help me to understand what process or sensation or experience you are describing. Try to get me to imagine the same feeling if I can - use images, analogies, anything you can:
'100 thoughts running through my head'
'Blood pumping fast'
'Losing control'
'Total break down'
'Hard to let go'
'Taking a lot of responsibilities'
'Small spurt'

Expand on those things - describe what it is like to have them. Talk about what you mean when you say it, how those things have appeared in your life, what problems they have caused, what suffering comes from them, what physical effects you get, how you deal with them. For physical symptoms, sometimes an image is useful (eg. stabbing pain like someone has got a pen and jammed it in-between your ribs).
Good prescriptions require alot of input from the patient - it is a very different process to most other healing modalities. Just describe more on the statements I picked out - even if you repeat yourself that is fine, but help me to understand what it is like for you in those situations or with those problems.

Well when I am experiencing anxiety I say I feel like I am losing control because I am not acting like the normal happy me, and I feel everything about me is being overpowered by this illness, I feel like I have weights on my chest just pushing down on my lungs, I forget to breath its like I am holding my breath. The thoughts running through my head I know are irrational but basically just feel like everything is going to go wrong for me. I have very high expectations of myself and I am not sure why, just that I want to make my parents and myself proud. I have always been a perfectionist all my life even as a kid I had to color inside the lines or I would get upset, I would not leave the house unless my pony tail had no 'bumps', I also believe to have dyslexia and had trouble with reading and spelling growing up and I would get extremely frustrated that I was not as smart as my older sister and peers. I believe I still am a perfectionist with my school work for I studied architecture and now interior design and I am always running short on time because it takes me so long to make up my mind, because I want the perfect design solution and never seem to be completely happy or reassured with what I have done. I also love to be organized but I believe at this point of my life I am the most unorganized I have ever been, for I just do not know where to start or have the energy/dedication. Things just take me forever to complete because I get caught up in such a small detail and will obsess about it. So this is why I believe I have anxiety because I put a lot of pressure on myself, and I wish I could be laid back and things just came to me naturally, but that has never worked for me. So now I try to avoid my work and put it off to the very last minute and I know what the result will be, that I will be so behind and just stress myself and have breakdowns where I cry and sometimes that helps just to cry because then I feel relief and I do start not caring and then just doing whatever it is to get it done. So all of this makes me very sad and angry that I haven't been able to take over control, the only thing that helps is knowing I have a loving mom and sister who both know of this problem so I turn to them a lot, and they usually put thing in perspective for me. Although I try to not always go to them for I know they have their own stresses. I would say this overall dilemma has caused several problems in my life such as being moody and nasty to people I love because I am unhappy, therefore not being able to be in a relationship because who wants to be with someone like that. So I have gone in and out of being depressed meaning staying home, laying around, and keeping to myself. Luckily I do not do that nearly as often in the past year and have been going out with friends again, but that also has led to me drinking more then I should on a couple occasions, which I also do not like because of not being in control.
I hope this helps you out with finding a solution for me because I would love to change this cycle around and live a healthy life, where I do not pick at my face and back 24/7. Do you think this is related to anxiety? I really appreciate all your help. Let me know if I did not answer back with what you need.

I feel like I didn't answer your questions as to what I am experiencing when this happens. It is hard to explain because I don't tend to pay attention to my body when I experiencing this because my thoughts are scattered. I do feel like my stomach gets tense like tightens or feels unsettled, then I did say how my chest feels like heavy weights are being pushed down on it, I usually have to sit because I feel like get light headed or maybe nauseous feeling. I also feel like my mouth gets dry and it is hard to swallow, usual I then also have no appetite. Another different feeling I get is when I am upset or angry and have anxiety all at once, that is when I feel like my heart races and I get a tingling sensation down my arms, like I usually have to clench my fist because my hands feel funny maybe numb. After all this has happened and if I do calm down which like I said is very hard for me to do, I then feel exhausted and worn out sort of like I have no emotion and I become very quite.
I think this better explains how I am feeling and what my body is experiencing.

I haven't forgotten you. I have back to back patients today in clinic. I may need to get back to this after the clinic shuts. My apologies for the delay.

Ok just a little more clarification.
Give me some images, analagies, or other words (things not related to your self or your body) for the following concepts.
Weight pushing down
Scattered
Tight
Perfect

Ok I'll try my best, I am really searching my head trying to find good analogies. For some reason this is really hard for me, to visualize. Here goes nothing...
Weight pushing down: as is something being compressed, like a garbage truck does
Scattered: as in a puzzle broken in a 1,000 pieces
Tight:as in a towel being rung, to squeeze out the water
Perfect: as in beautiful piece of art work
Control: as in a balanced scale

Ok so we have two sensations - compressed, crushed, squeezed - and scattered like something into a thousand pieces
Which would you say is the most common sensation in your life or symptoms?

♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
That's a tough question because I feel like they go hand and hand these symtoms like a chain reaction. But if I had to pick it would be scattered because it is very very rare I am focused. Is it possible in the mean time that I can start some kind of treatment for my breakouts on forehead, chin, and back?
thank you David, can not tell you how much I appreciate this, it gives me some hope and excitment that I do not have to be like this for the rest of my life.

Can you explain what you mean when you say they are a chain reaction?
I believe you are describing something here, a process, an experience - something I am trying to understand to get to the right remedy.
Tell me, if you were to describe the process of being crushed, compressed or squeezed and then being scattered into a thousand pieces, what images come to mind. Try to free associate those words, try to let your imagination go. Don't describe yourself or your symptoms again.

I've tried closing my eyes and visualizing those things and the only thing I can associate that to is someone being tortured I know that's a terrible thing to think but that's what comes to mind with those feelings.
acaruso22 last decade
I guess what I meant by a chain reaction is that because my mind tends to get scattered it causes my body to tense up and tighen which I guess then lead me to feel pressure on my chest. So I feel like my mind is the cause of all these feelings.
acaruso22 last decade
Tortured? Now that is a surprise to me. And a surprise means that it is the tip of the truth.
Can you just expand on tortured - what do you see, what does it mean, what does that feel like, how does that relate to you?
So the scattered feeling comes first, the compression is a reaction?

I feel like I imagine torture because I picture it being held against your own will and you try to fight back to the things that happen to you but what your up agaisnt is much stronger. I feel like that relates to what I feel because I can't escape the aniexty and the sensations that come with it no matter how much I tell myself to calm down or everything will be ok, my feelings and mind are stronger and always win. Although I am physically not being hurt I feel like my insides are because feeling this way can not be healthy. In result I believe I physically hurt myself by constantly itching and picking at my skin, and this is the thibg I hate most because I do it all day everyday and I don't even realize it until I'm in pain or bleeding. I don't want to do this and I don't know why I do. As I think more about it I believe it is definitely my mind that leads to all of this I feel like it goes off on its own and I can bot focus or relax because it constantly is running and its when I get the feeling of being scattered that I get anxiety and I feel like I get scattered when I'm in a stressful situation, which to me I think a lot of things that's stress me don't stress others. All it takes is me being confused about something or having to make a simple decision.

Ok just a couple more, my apologies.
What are other words for scattered?
What is the opposite of scattered?

No problem I would say chaos, lost, and maybe aimlessly wondering , those are all words that I feel like relate to what I call scattered. The opposite would be peace, balance, and silence.

So scattered doesn't mean what I think you meant when you said it. Not like the jig saw puzzle pieces. Peace and silence is not the opposite of that.
If chaos is more appropriate, what image would suit that word? Peace I can see counterbalancing chaos - but what is an example of chaos?
