This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Nobody can do this without taking and supervising your case. We have nothing to work on, nothing to suggest what to expect what needs to be cured how difficult things will be what the prognosis is.

Homoeopathy is not about mechanically giving doses. Each case is indivually examined and the different responses measured to determine when repeats are given or if they are even necessary.

Having no case, no information about the patient, no understanding of how the remedy has affected them - this is working blind and nobody could do that for you with any success.

Dear Doctor David,
Thank you for your reply. I want homeopathic guidance regarding my case. Kindly help me for my recovery.

I have chronic depression, Anxiety, fear and lack of confidence problem. I recently wrote to you about my problems in an email. I am ready to take your guidance to get rid of my problems. Please suggest something as this mental disease is making my life miserable.

I am 35 years old mother. My father is also a mental patient, for 45-50 years.

I did not grow up in healthy environment. My parents always have fought with each other. (They still do). I had to see those dramas till the day I got married off. I had so much of hope that I would find a very good husband who would be supportive and give lots of care and affection to me. But unfortunately, he is very irresponsible person. Who does not care about family values. He is a very selfish guy. He is a lazybone and always have high expectations in life but he does nothing to achieve his high goals. I always suggest him to start with small things and reach gradually towards the high goals but he never listens to anybody. He is a careless person too. He never cares about the future of our daughter too. Because of these things in life I feel I am trapped inside depressed environment and have become so much sensitive depressed, fearful, helpless and vulnuralbe in life. I had taken antidepressants 8-9 years back for 2 years too but was not happy with it too.

Now, because of so many tensions, I have become so much vulnerable that I cannot stand any bad news, specially death or disease of any relatives. Any bad news about loved ones makes me anxious and restless. I cannot sleep well the whole night till I hear any good news about the problem. I fear of being alone, I fear of the deterioration of my health. I think if I remain depressed like this for long time I would die. Or any of my relatives remain depressed he/she would die. I cannot imagine anyone dying of diseases (specially mental disease). I start putting myself in that situation of the sufferer( the diseased person). 2years ago I witnessed a death of a closed relative which affected me so badly. I think that was a horrible death. He died because of the incurable disease. And I think of myself that if my mental problem is not cured I will die too. I don't want to die soon. I have a little daughter. I want to see her best future. I want to guide her in every of her steps. But at the moment I am so much helpless that I think I can do nothing in life.

I want to go to college to maintain my status here but I think I cannot study and cannot be a good student although I was a good student back home before I got depression problem.

I am in the USA right now under dependent visa. If this visa expires I have to go back to my country which I do not want to. Back home there is not any happy and healthy environment that I can survive in. Besides we Asians have so many unreasonable rules and regulations in our lives which I always want to avoid. I do not want to hurt anyone's feeling yet I cannot survive inside too much 'This and That' ( controlled) environment.

I always feel that something is inside my head which is making me indecisive. My head is always congestive. As if some gray cloud is trapped inside it. Specially in Vertex and Occiput. I have dull kind of ache in my occiput. I feel tightness and pressure inside my head, always. I have memory problems too.

I am also depressed and helpless when I feel I am controlled by anyone. I want to do everything by myself. I feel down and my anxiety raises and start feeling weepy, when somebody shouts at me while controlling me. I want to escape from the environment when I feel uncomfortable being inside it.

I am extremely sensitive emotionally. I cannot take contradictions, humiliation, insults etc.

I have taken Lycopodium Calv 30C for all these symptoms but it did not help me much. May be the potency was not correct or the remedy. I went to a homeopath as well for 6 months but I could not afford fees anymore and also he could not find the best remedy for me so I quit going to him.

Please doctor help me out. I am ready to answer any questions you ask. But please help me get rid of these problems. I have a hope with Homeopathy.

P.S. I think I am extremely sensitive towards higher potency remedies. I had experienced strong aggravations, when I used to take remedies from my former homeopath.

Thanking you.

I will see what questions arise from this information.

There are more questions on my intake form. Please answer the ones you have not answered in your previous post.

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
8. Describe your menstrual cycle

9. Also give these details

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
e) Colour of stool, urine, sweat

10. Give any reactions to vaccines or medical drugs.

11. What orthodox medication are you on, or have you taken in the past?

1. What exactly happens?
Bad news makes me very anxious, restless, seems whole body is trembling, feeling weakness in limbs, no concentration on anything else, focused on the disease. If there is no sudden anxiety, there is a depression. I am Depressed about life, about future, about not being able to do anything in life, about prolonged bad health. I always have congestion in head, tightness in head. dull pain in the head, at the back side of the head sometimes on the top too.

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.
While I am anxious, I feel some kind of warm liquid flow in my head from downward(neck) to upward(vertex). I have trembling sensations in my whole body. More on thighs and calves in legs. I used to have congestion and throbbing pain in the Occiput. Now its been 3 days I have been taking Ignatia 200CK a dose per day. so I am not feeling any pain inside my head as I used to have before. But I am feeling a tightness inside my head. This tightness seems to be the remedy's effect.


3. What causes the problem to get worse after it has started occurring?
I keep on thinking over the negative things in life and keep on thinking over the matter which makes me anxious and I become more anxious and more depressed. When I get angry, when I shout it get worse. Whenever somebody contradicts my sayings it gets worse. Whenever I feel controlled it becomes worse. When I am alone it gets worse. When there is bad weather(cloudy, gloomy days) it is worse. As soon as I enter the room from outside, the congestion in head increases. When I think about future or anticipatory things I become anxious because I feel that I cannot do anything in life like work or study.

4. What creates some relief for the problem?
When I am outside the apartment, When I am with somebody, When I am in the open air. When there is enough sunlight outside, I feel little relief.


5. What triggers the problem into occuring?
Bad news, Death of any closed ones, news of depression and depressed people, Bad news in the TV or newspaper, I always fear of hearing any bad news from back home. I cannot hear any news like 'Somebody is dying because of so and so diseases'. I am not in my own country right now. I am in the USA. I feel very lonely in this country. I left my parents, relatives back home and my husband is not supportive too. So I have no one to share my feelings my problems and about my disease.

6. What time of the day or night does the problem occur?
All the time. There is no time that I do not feel the disease hanging on my head. There is no single time that I am happy. I am always sad, complaining about almost everything. And I always think about my depression and sadness and my low confidence. I feel my head is full of these negative things and there is no space for any other things.

I am depressed all the time and when I am anxious I cannot sleep the whole night.

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?


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.
1st incident. When I was around 20 years old I fell in love with one guy but could not express my feeling towards him due to my shyness. So before I said something to him he flew abroad for his further studies and I felt so much helpless, pathetic, depressed and felt like I lost every good things in my life because he meant everything to me. After that incident and also too much tensions in my family made me so much weak mentally so I was slowly going into depression. I lost interest in study. I lost interest in almost everything in life. So when my father saw me like that he took me to the psychiatrist and I started having those stupid allopathic medicines with just little improvement. I took so many different kind of allopathic medicines for 4-5 years and then I quit taking them as I was seeing them as habit forming. Then I started doing yoga, breathing exercises which helped me recover like 50%. Then I started working in some organizations which kept me busy. I never wanted to come back home after job as the environment in my family was so depressive. My mom dad, whenever they speak they quarrel. So they were kind of not talking to each other for many years. I was all alone then too as I did not have any boyfriend or any friends to go out and hang around and be happy. There was hardly any reason for me to be happy inside that environment. My mom dad still don't have good relationship. They complain about each other with me and my brother. So I don't want to go back to my home country again to view and feel that environment as I think I will be more depressed and will die eventually if I remain in that environment anymore.

2nd incident. When I was in my 20's I had a very good picture of my would be husband or my Mr. right in my mind. But I am married to a totally opposite of what I had dreamt of. I cannot see a single quality of that picture in my husband. He is 12years older than me, our views don't match, we always quarrel, he is irresponsible and a selfish person, he is not hardworking, he is lazy. disorganized, does not care about me and my daughter. Does not care what we need in our lives. does not respects others' feelings. Takes decisions in haste and in hurry and later regrets, does every important things in 11th hour. does not have respect towards time. No plannings in life, no sense of responsibility. a totally carefree person, chews tobacco,
And I feel so helpless that because of my mental problems I can't say anything to him and tolerate everything. I fear of he leaving me and I won't be able to do anything by my own. I do not have confidence. I am always fearful about my health condition. I do not think I can take any responsibilities only by myself. I think I cannot take any decision as I have become so much indecisive. Eventhough my husband helps me on nothing I need him by my side, I could not understand why. I feel I need another person by my side always.

3rd incident. Once my daughter got too much sick inside the airplane while I was coming back to the USA from back home. She was almost 2 years old that time. She had very high fever and she got fainted inside the plane. I was so panicked and felt so much helpless and felt that I lost her. But some nurses got her consciousness back after giving her some medicines. After that incident I always panic a lot whenever she falls sick. I cannot decide what to do while I panic.

4th incident: 2 years back I went back home for my brother's wedding. I went there thinking that it will be just for 1-2 months and I would be back to USA after that but I was forced to stay there against my will. And I stayed there unwillingly for 6 months. After 2 months when I asked my husband to send me the required documents for my visa processing to USA he told me not to come back to USA for some more months as I am not required here(USA) for any reasons. He was so much controlling and said he will not send any documents until he wanted. So I was like so much helpless and felt controlled and pathetic. I could do nothing to come back to USA without any proper documentation. In the meantime I witnessed a horrible death of one of my cousin brothers (we take cousins as our own brothers and sisters). It was very unpleasant experience for me. I saw him dying day by day and finally he died in the hospital. He died of incurable disease (AIDS).
So whenever I hear of any disease or incurable disease or death I memorize all those moments and become so much anxious and depressed and panicked.
So when I got back to the USA I was already depressed and full of anxiety again. As soon as I got back, at the very beginning I was very fearful about staying alone So I again went to a psychiatrist here and got some depression and anxiety medicine(allopathic). I took it for almost 7 months and I quit again and searched for some alternative and natural ways to cope with my problems. So I found homeopathy and believed in that. I feel that I will be alright one day if I find a correct remedy.



Discuss the way that you manage or deal with your problems, or any problems that occur in your life.
I have always searched for any medications or remedies to deal with my problems.
I have always seeked for my mom's support in any of my problems. But now she is not here with me in the USA to help me, I feel depressed for that too. I still think I am still a child and needs an attention and help from my mom in every of my steps of life. for e.g. I have a little daughter, I want to raise her as I want but I also think if my mom could help me raising her it would be better for me. Sometimes I cannot tolerate my daughter's tantrums and that time I feel if my mom was here she would help me on that matter. I miss my mom a lot.


Discuss any patterns you have noticed in your behavior especially concerning your disease.
I am so much angry in little things, indecisive, quarrelsome with husband(if I feel I am controlled), very low confidence. Timid, cannot explain things the way I want as sometimes I don't find correct words. lose the thread of any argument or conversation or discussion. Cannot memorize things easily. very less hunger. less thirst.


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.

When I was a teenager, I had always felt I should escape from my parents' home and search a peaceful and happy place to live in. But being a girl and because of the reputation matter and because of so much social restrictions I could not leave my home and stayed being mentally tortured inside. May be because of that reason I had always had a picture of an ideal man inside my mind and always had hope that I would definitely find a good partner in my life ahead. May be because of that I fell for that guy as I stated above. I had just heard about that guy and just saw couple of times only and never had talked to him. and I fell for him just because I heard he was a nice guy and his family was very nice and happy family. So when he went abroad my dreams all scattered and I started thinking that I lost the hope of future too and I had nothing in my hands to feel happy about. So I gradually became depressed and still depressed because my husband does not have a single quality of my man. I still have financial problems as I used to have when I was in my parents' home even worse than what I used to have back then.




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.

My parents' financial condition was good till I was like 7 years old and I think I was a happy child till then. But as soon as the financial problem arouse so many problems were born.There was'nt any happy moments after that. My parents always have fought with each other. (They still do). My dad had some mental problems too. He still has. I had seen them fighting and hitting each other and shouting with each other. They never paid good attention to us (me and my brother) I had to see those dramas till the day I got married off.
I love both my parents despite their bad relationship with each other. I was more attached to my dad. My mom's behavior was not good towards me till the time I became depressed and diseased. She was never friendly with me till I was diagnosed with the depression.

12. I have applied for college here but I do not have confidence that I can study. I cannot concentrate on whatever I read. I have to read again and again to know what is it. I cannot memorize whatever I study. In few months I have to go to college and start study. I fear that if I cannot study and maintain the status here we(me and my husband) will be out of status and will have to go back home which I don't want to do at any cost.

I fear of insects like Cockroaches a lot. And I fear of the deterioration of my health and I fear of my future too.

Hello doctor I am still waiting for your reply regarding my remedy.

Thank you

I am sorry for the delay. I wasted my time on another thread where the person did not intend to take the remedy I prescribed, so it has put me behind.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Hello doctor,
I am still waiting for your suggestion. And this fear of BAD NEWS is killing me day by day. I think I am becoming insane day by day. I fear of bad news, Death, insanity. I am not talking to any people. I prefer staying aloof now. I don't know when can I get rid of this ridiculous mental disease. I am stuck in it. Please help a helpless.

Please note: I have a backache and head congestion, always and I am very sensitive to the remedies too. I usually get strong aggravations.
 
Trishna last decade
What exactly is bad news? Is it only about disease and dying?

You need to stop any remedy you are taking. It will alter the way you express this information.

What is the feeling of having an ideal picture of your husband, and being married to the opposite?

What is the feeling of having no-one by your side?

Describe more on the feeling of 'helpless'. Describe what helpless is, what does it mean to be helpless, what kind of person is helpless?

Describe more on 'still being a child'. What is it that a child cannot do? What is the problem with being a child?
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
What exactly is bad news? Is it only about disease and dying?

Yes its specially about mental disease and any incurable diseases and dying from it. I cannot hear like 'somebody is suffering from depression or somebody got incurable disease and is dying soon'. If I hear somebody is suffering from depression I start thinking that he won't be able to do anything in life and will commit suicide. I cannot hear news about anyone committed suicide. I am also suffering from depression but I have never thought about committing suicide but I have a strong feeling that if someone is severely depressed he will commit suicide. I don't want to be severely depressed so I always seek for remedies.
-My father back home is schizophrenic for long time. I don't want to hear that he's gone insane or he died because of his disease.
-One of my cousins recently been deported from USA and before deportation he was inside the Jail for almost 4 months. I did not talk to him for that 4 months because I didn't want to hear that he is depressed inside the jail. Now I am imagining that he must have been depressed being inside the jail for long time and he won't be able to anything e.g. work study. Now I have a fear that he will also die like his elder brother who had incurable disease like AIDS and I happened to witnessed his death at that time which still makes me fearful. Its not that I am actually worried about his health. I am worried about my health. I am fearful thinking that 'if anything happens to him that may happen to me too because I am depressed too' if he acts weird I may act weird too if he commits suicide I may commit suicide too. So I am extremely fearful about my health condition.

I cannot hear or see bad news in TV or Radio too about murder, killing, psychos, weirdos etc. I change the channel or start singing song so that I don't hear the depressing news.


You need to stop any remedy you are taking. It will alter the way you express this information.
I am not taking any remedies at the moment. I took Ignatia 200C just for 3 days and stopped it a week ago.

What is the feeling of having an ideal picture of your husband, and being married to the opposite?
Its depressing. I feel very unlucky that I got totally opposite husband than what I dreamt of.
So I am very angry with the persons who arranged that proposal of marriage for me. It was an arranged marriage. I am angry with everybody but cannot express my anger towards them. I am not happy with this relationship and I can do nothing besides being unhappy and angry. I never liked him as a husband but I don't want to hurt his feelings as well saying anything unpleasant. I had dreamt of a husband who cares for me and with whom I will not have any insecurities of future. e.g. he would earn enough money to run a middle class family. I have never wanted a luxurious life, I wanted a simple yet secured life. Secured financially, at least. Right now, we are financially very much unstable. He earns just that much we can do nothing besides paying bills and buying groceries, not even clothes. I feel so pathetic, so unlucky on this.


What is the feeling of having no-one by your side?
Very much loneliness, emptiness, insecurity, helplessness, fearful that if my health deteriorates nobody will be there to help me and help my child.

Describe more on the feeling of 'helpless'. Describe what helpless is, what does it mean to be helpless, what kind of person is helpless?
Since I do not have enough self confidence, I feel that I need support of other persons in anything I do. Helpless is more about not having self confidence and not being able to do anything by myself. I am very much fearful about my health getting deteriorated so I hesitate to go somewhere alone or go and work somewhere alone. I imagine that if my health worsen I won't be able to do anything not even walk, talk drive or do anything else. Its just like being paralyzed. I am too much dependent on my husband though he does very little than what he is supposed to do for a family. I cannot just leave him and start everything by myself because I do not have confidence to do anything new.

Describe more on 'still being a child'. What is it that a child cannot do? What is the problem with being a child?
A child cannot raise another child properly as an adult. A problem of being a child is always seeking mother's help to do anything. Always needs encouragement and pushes to do anything new in life. A child cannot take huge responsibilities. A child cannot take decisions properly.
One of the reasons that I seek my mother's help, may be because I have spent my 28 years with my parents (before marriage) and after I got the depression I was kind of close to my mom(at the age of 24-25 till 28). She used to take care of me as if I were a child or teenager who needs proper guidance from her parents in everything.

I think I am not raising my child like a responsible or a devoted mother, I do take care of her a lot but i think it still is not enough. My child is a picky eater and I think I should be able to feed her in anyways, but I am unable to do so. She always wants me to play with her and because of loss of interest in almost anything I do not enjoy playing with her that much. So after few minutes of playing with her I turn on the TV and let her watch TV instead or let her play by herself and I leave. I am not helping her much in reading and writing. I want my child be a very good student but because of my depression problems I am not able to pay proper attention to her. I think I am not a devoted mother. But I am very possessive about her. I am always worried about her and her future. I panic a lot even if she gets minor fever. I love her a lot but I have a doubt on myself that I could raise her properly. I am much worried because my husband does not cares about her needs and her future and I am doing nothing for her because of my problems. Because of all these things going on in my mind always, I always feel so much burden inside mind and feel so depressed and also feel that depression one day will kill me.

Please help.

Alright the first remedy I would like us to try, is Lithium-carb 200. Can you get hold of this remedy, either in drop, pillule or granule form.

INSTRUCTONS FOR SPLIT DOSING

Firstly, you need to create a separate dosing bottle. Get a bottle with a dropper, 15-30mls in size, and fill it with a mixture of water and alcohol (5 parts to 1 part). Dissolve 2 granules or 2 drops of the medicine you bought from the pharmacy into this mixture. Your doses will be made from this bottle.

Hit the bottle firmly against the palm of your hand, or another elastic surface like a book. It should be a firm hit not a tap. 2 hits is enough to begin with, and should not be increased unless it is clear that it is needed. The water in this bottle will 'remember' the number of times you have hit it, so that subsequent doses will be stronger (necessary to overcoming the resistance of your disease).

Place 1 drop into an amount of water - start with 1/4 cup (62mls). Stir thoroughly and take 1 teaspoon into the mouth. Throw the rest of the cup away. Clean the cup and spoon with hot water but not detergent, and put the cup aside to use again in the future.

This is one dose. Repeat doses would be started from the 2 hits on the bottle. I want you to take one dose only then report the response after a week, or whenever you notice anything different or unusual happening.

Each step of this process can be adjusted to reduced aggravation or to increase the effect of the medicine. In order to be able to do this, it is important to measure each step (count the hits, the drops, measure the water etc).

Hello Doctor,

Thank you for your reply.
I've ordered Lithium Carb 200CK online as I could not find it here in the store. Its a Bioron products and they are in pellet forms(little bigger than granules). So I understand 2 pellets to dissolve in the solution of water and alcohol. Is this correct ?

Can wine be taken as alcohol for my remedy preparation or I have to put the hard liquor ?
[message edited by Trishna on Tue, 31 Jan 2012 19:51:22 GMT]
 
Trishna last decade
My preference would be for a spirit with more alcohol in it, wine usually doesn't have a very high alcohol content. It should be ethanol alcohol if possible. I typically use brandy or vodka.

2 pellets dissolved in the bottle is correct.
 
brisbanehomoeopath last decade
Hello Doctor,
I will try to find the alcohol as you have suggested above.

I have experienced some anxiety the whole day today because of hearing a bad news(a death of a closed one). And I don't know how many days I will have to wait to get the remedy Lithium-Carb 200C that I ordered online. Due to money problem I could not use speedy mail system. So it may take few days for me to get Lithium-Carb. Is it wise to take any other remedy in the meantime for this anxiety ? I heard that our landlord back home has been died of some kind of chronic disease. I have been remembering him the whole day today and those memories are making me so much anxious. I am experiencing my mind going numb, weakened legs and little difficult to breathe too. I am finding difficulties to concentrate on anything else other than imagining the whole picture of his death back home. Can we do something on it please?

No it is a mistake to start taking other remedies for that reason. It will only confuse things and could create side effects.

If you are desperate, using something like Rescue Remedy is not too bad, but I would even be cautious about palliating in that way unless absolutely necessary.

It appears you have been this way for a very long time. Why is waiting a few more days so difficult?

Thank you doctor,
I will try my level best to control my mind but sometimes its very difficult to tolerate the anxiety. Could you suggest me any Rescue Remedy, just in case ? I promise you I won't be taking it unless there is an absolute emergency.

I have a 3 yrs old child to take care of so I should be okay at least for her.

I hope you understand my situation.

regards

Rescue remedy is a Bach Flower medicine. Most health food stores sell it. I do not know what kind of stores you have access to.

I go to the Whole Food Market here in Dallas Texas, USA.
I hope they have the Bach Flower remedy. Could you please suggest which one should I pick and how should I take it ? I could not sleep properly last night because of anxiety and still I am having anxious thoughts.

Thanking you.

Rescue remedy is the name of the product. That is what you can buy.

Remember that once you start homoeopathic treatment, Bach Flower medicines are forbidden, so this will only be a stop gap measure.

I will keep that in mind.

Thank you.

I could not cope with my ongoing anxiety so I had to take Rescue Remedy. How many times in an hour or What should be the time apart that I can take the Remedy ?

I am experiencing little tightness inside my heart too. It may be because of the Anxiety or emotional stress I am going through.

There should be instructions on the bottle. Rescue remedy is not homoeopathy, so the guidelines for our medicines don't necessarily apply.

My understanding is you can do it as needed. Obviously stop if after several tries it has not worked, or your anxiety worsens.

Hello Doctor,
I hope you are hale and hearty.

Today is the 8th day since I have taken the remedy as per your instruction. There was an aggravation after the second day and lasted for 2-3 days but I tolerated it. My irritation hyped so much and I was shouting a lot more than before in every single issue. But it lessened afterwards. I am better than before. I am not as anxious as before. Its not 90 or 100% but its quite a lot for me, Thanks. I still have some problems though. I would like to number them here:

1. My head is still little congested. Irritation is improved though still there. I am not that patient while my child shows her tantrums. I shout at her too and regret later.

2. I think I still cannot take any huge responsibilities. Like going to school and maintaining my family's Status here in the USA. I hesitate to go to school because I don't think I can study well now. I think my mind does not process things properly now. like if I hear any lectures its very difficult for me to understand what I hear. I need to hear the things repeatedly to understand what it means. It may be because of my poor memory. I cannot concentrate on anything I read. And I cannot memorize what I read in the beginning if I am reading something. I do not think I am as smart as before now. Sometimes I find difficulties to calculate in simple mathematics.

3. I still can't see or hear the news about insanity, murder, killing etc. That's why I am not able to watch any movies or read any novels or any stories. In my view people do such things when they are insane, crazy. I fear of going insane one day because of my mental problems(its not as strong as before but its still there).
I still fear of bad news (but less fearful than before)

4. I am not much energetic, not much enthusiastic. do not opt for doing something new. nothing excites me. Lazy and always complaining.

5. I hesitate to go to any parties or meet people. I think I cannot be the part of anyone's conversation as sometimes its difficult for me to find any words to say meaning some simple words which I think are blocked inside my mind somewhere and those are not coming out at once in just a simple conversation. Sometimes I get nervous while I speak. I do not talk to people because of the fear of making mistakes while speak. Like I hesitate to talk to American people here in the USA just because I fear of making grammatical mistakes while I talk and as I say I do not find the words at once. I know what to speak but still I make mistakes.

6. Still worried about health deterioration while being alone for long time ( not as strong worry as before though)



Thanking you and awaiting your response
