Depression, pimples, and dry skin

I'm 20, i have pimples, and i'm almost always depressed, and sometimes suicidal. I don't have severe acne, but having even one pimple on my face affects my mood so much, that i can go from being relatively 'ok' to sad, angry, suicidal. I was diagnosed as having "borderline personality disorder" three months ago. The main aspects of this are a generally bad mood, unstable feelings, and low tolerance for stress. I feel like i am sinking right now, i cannot even speak anymore without stuttering. My memory is poor and it's difficult for me to concentrate when reading. Activity-wise, i don't enjoy anything.

I'm feeling better now. Sunday night was the last time i felt this heaviness. Also since sunday, i've been on something called "the lemonade diet" and i've been doing salt cleanses daily. So maybe these are helping improve my mood.

Today i ordered-
Graphites 30C 1 oz pellets
Aurum Met 30C 1 oz pellets
Stramonium 30C 1 oz pellets
Kali Sulphur - Potassium Sulphate 6X 1000 tablets

But i'm not sure how to take them. I've done some reading online, but it's so difficult for me to read right now. Words are blurry and i have difficulty focusing.

Also, i'm female, vegetarian (my diet consists mainly of vegetables and fruit), and i have a thyroid disorder (thyroid antibodies).

Please help

These symptoms that you are feeling could be do to your thyroid problems. (depression, anxiety, nervousness etc.) Are you on anti depressants? You shouldn't be with a thyroid condition.Good luck let me know how you are?

hi Susin,

NO i'm not on anti-depressents. I've had blood tests and all show that my thyroid levels are normal. I do have thyroid antibodies in my body.... so this means that the problem will remain forever. Do you have any suggestions for my thyroid? I already eat a lot of sea vegetables...

Sajjadakram-

Should i continue taking the other medicines i have Graphites 30C, Aurum Met 30C, Stramonium 30C, Kali Sulphur - Potassium Sulphate 6X), they seemed to be helping.

One of the descriptions for ignatia that i found even describes me physically - thin, dark brunette, with blue circles under her eyes.

Thank you,
Yelena

Also, i see online that both ignatia and Natrum Mur come in pellets.... did you mean to take 5 pellets with a little water? How long should i wait before eating?

eishsdhana last decade

oh sorry, never mind. i've found the liquid form.

Use only Natrum Mur and Ignatia.No need to use other remedies yet.If pellets are available they are equally good.Usually half an hour before and after meal is the best way.

I've been taking the remedies you've suggested for several days now, and i've noticed some new symptoms. I have pimples on my back that i did not have before, my back muscles are aching, i have chest pain, i feel tired, and i have slight head aches.

Perhaps the remedies are not the cause, because i had a temperature and stomach sickness a day before i began to take them.

I'm very worried about pimples. Having them can really affect my mood. What should i do? Do you suggest i avoid any foods?

Also, my sleep hours are off. I tend to go to sleep at 5am, and wake up after 2pm... Could this be causing my symptoms?

Hi there,

I wanted to write to you as I too have similar problems with mood swings due to a single spot..I never really suffered from bad skin until a year ago..I am 31 and find it extremely stressfull as I dont understand why this is happening and also i feel so down i dont want to leave the house when i get a spot..i am not sure if it could be stress or hormonal inbalance, but it is devastating to the point where i really dont want to live..i know i can go to doctors but because it is not a bad case of acne, but just a spot now and then i feel ashamed..terrible like a vicious circle..
Hope you are better..
