Ok she is off her period
 
superdave972 last decade
I need to know what is going on.

What is better-
What is worse-
What is the same-
 
simone717 last decade
Things right now are the same as what is listed..no real changes right now
 
superdave972 last decade
Fine. Report in then when there are changes-the remedy is
still working and if you give more, you will overdose
and bring old things back.
 
simone717 last decade
I am having her write down changes if any. I will reply shortly with a list
 
superdave972 last decade
She is still sleeping better. Occasional sexual thoughts, usually in morning, gets horny when during thoughts but quickly passes-no duration. Appetite returning to normal (for her-not eating much or frequent). Less dependence on caffeine. Lower craving for sodas. Craving for sweets less often, but still there..
She is still sad and feeling like she is screwing up all the time. Annoyed and angry mood (she said its an older symptom, like high school). But she is able to tolerate it better than before.

Less talkative than the last week. We were in the car for about 7 hours and hardly talked. She slept most of the time. Her concentration is still hard (lacking). She has still not been intimate to me in the slightest bit nor playful since my last update
 
superdave972 last decade
Also she say 'I don't know' a lot when asking how her thoughts are..or anything for that matter. Also constantly apologetic

Have her take another dose of sepia 30c. 3 pills in a quarter cup of water.
Let them dissolve and then hit the bottle hard 3 times with your hand
and take 1 tsp out of that.

Report after a couple days.
 
simone717 last decade
Day 1 (3-3)

She was in a good mood all day. Laughing a lot more than normal. Her focus is still off, hard to concentrate but is improving slightly. Appetite is returning to normal (as in a normal persons appetite). She is fearful of loud noises (shouting, slamming, banging). Talkative. Sexual thoughts throughout the day (to a point of wanting to come home, but thoughts don't linger long). Craved beef stew and sweets (chocolate)

Day 2 (3-4)

Super talkative (to the point I had to interrupt if there was anything I had to say or reply)-would become embarrassed by this. Focus is slightly better ( than her norm). Energetic and eccentric. Craving chocolate again. She says it was the best mood she has been in in a long time. No sexual thoughts or playfulness.

I was also wondering if being super selfish is a symptom that fits with her profile? Its basically because she can only focus on 1 thing at a time which is hard enough and that makes everything seem like a 'chore'..and since she knows I will be there i am put on the back burner 90 percent of the time
 
superdave972 last decade
I am not sure on para 3. You would have to compare this
to how she was before the pill or ask her parents or siblings
if this was typical of her.

Could be that as she gets better this is something you
need couples counseling on. If you are constantly waiting
for some attention to be given to you, it will feel like a
demand even if nothing is said - as she gets a bit better,
you are going to need to work out of a type of caregiver
behavior that has been going on. You need counseling for that.

Yeah. I guess it doesn't help that I am now depressed after trying to help/deal with all of this after 4 years..I may have to make a case for me now lol. I have been through this before when I was younger and came out of it about the age of 22

But I also noticed she is handling stress better and seems to be more understanding of any issues

As far as the selfishness its unclear. She was by herself growing up mostly, her dad walked out and wasn't in her life much, and she had a step-dad who made her case worse. Mom always worked so she was alone a lot. But again, we were only dating 2 weeks before she got on the pill and it was WAY different. Sex every day or every other day, and super affectionate. Wanted nothing more than to be with me. But it was very odd that it died off that fast (I guess its a norm for some of the fire to die down after a while, but 2 weeks?) So once the 'pill' was involved yes things changed
 
superdave972 last decade
Yes, so you really don't know what is what due to the pill and she
probably does not either. Try to step back and let this
be with her right now. This will be a transition for both of you,
and good for you to start some focus on yourself and do some
things you like that you have neglected. Everyone needs to have
that space just for themselves everyday.

Yeah..I am working on looking like a bodybuilder just as a mental and physical challenge. Been at it almost 2 years now. Also recently tried picking up a guitar again after 3 years of not playing...I am trying my best to break that 'mentor' state..so having that does help some
 
superdave972 last decade
Just saw her on lunch..She has been sad today and 'depressed' feeling..mentally tired is what she described but physically getting around fine and doesn't know what the problem is. Again no sexual thoughts. Not as talkative and not taking simple jokes very well
 
superdave972 last decade
The remedy is going to bring back up other past states,
the difference is that they should not last that long-
they are leaving. So tell her not to identify with what
is showing up- notice it and then notice when it leaves.

Report back in 3 days on where she is at.
 
simone717 last decade
About 3 days after her first dose, she began having old symptoms. The first being lack of sexual interest/thoughts. Her intimacy subsided quite a bit. It had been progressing (yesterday being the worst since first dose) of her showing 'depressed' moods, very moody and irritable. Easily offended/sensitive. Again no sexual interest. Not very talkative and lethargic. Her focus is worse
 
superdave972 last decade
Wait another 3 days and report again.
 
simone717 last decade
Meantime, order Sepia 200c to have
on hand.
 
simone717 last decade
Ok. I already have 200c on hand since this is a chronic problem. And she is slipping back into her previous state and not far from it
 
superdave972 last decade
Ok- have her put 3 pills into a quarter cup of water, stir with spoon and
take one tsp - use paper cup and plastic spoon , then throw out the mixture.

Report back after a few days.
 
simone717 last decade
And this is 200c correct? or 30c again?
 
superdave972 last decade
200c.
 
simone717 last decade
Ok. I will have her dose and report back
 
superdave972 last decade
She has been very irritable, very quiet, not intimate, no sexual thoughts or acts, 'hates self' for the way she feels and the fact her sexuality isn't there, forgetful, lacking focus. Basically the typical symptoms she has been having
 
superdave972 last decade
Hi-

Ok, we have to see how long this lasts- report in another
4 days or earlier if this starts to change.
