15. normal BP

16. What exactly is happening ?
I’ve been seriously depressed for over 6 yrs now, although all my life I have had a pessimistic and serious view of life. I have never been an enthusiastic person. I find life very difficult to cope with. I have suicidal thoughts from time to time, now only caused by effects of hom. remedies. I feel very lonely because I spend a lot of time alone, not for choice but because I feel anxious when with other people. I worry about what they think of me.

17. How do you feel?
I feel hopeful at times but mainly helpless. My moods change rapidly (from fairly ok to gloomy) and without apparent reason. I feel like I’m throwing away precious years of my life. I wanted to do a lot more with my life if only I could believe in myself. I think a lot trying to decide what I should do or take to feel better but I keep on changing my mind and I don’t have the courage to do what therapists advise me to do to feel better. Every time I start taking a hom. remedy I feel worse. Sometimes I ask myself why I bother.

18. How does this affect you?
I feel unmotivated to take action, vulnerable, frustrated and indecisive

19. How does it feel like ?
I feel like a leaf blown by the wind, not being able to choose a direction.

20. What comes to your mind ?
I’ll never get better and have a normal life.

21. One situation that had a big effect on you ?
the one that brought out my serious depressive symptoms (isolation, desire to not speak and apathy to pleasure) was after I had worked as a casino dealer on cruise ships. I didn’t get along with my boss and I started losing interest in my job (I believe I started getting depressed during the first contract because that kind of job was stressful) so I was reported to the main office for poor conduct but didn’t try to defend myself. Afterwards I cried when I was alone and kept on going through all that was said in my mind. Only once did I answer back when I was criticized and my boss got very angry with me. I tried avoiding meeting her when not at work because I reckoned that if I said hello to her, she might not answer and that would hurt me. Sometimes I would imagine the most horrible things happening to her in order to feel better. I was getting more and more tired and losing concentration.

22. How did that feel like ?
I felt like a real failure because my fear of not being a worthy person made me very quiet so few people got to know me (even though I was also afraid that they wouldn’t like me anyway if they did). And because I didn’t stand up for myself because I believe I am always in the wrong and that others are better than I am

23. What sensation do you experience in that situation ?
I feel frustrated and hurt at the same time.

24. What are you showing by that gesture of the hand?
I don’t take much action, I’m mainly a thinker

25. What medicine are you currently taking?
klonopin, an anti-anxiety drug to fall asleep at night

26. Family background
I live with my parents again because I was too depressed to work and needed emotional support although I don’t get on well with them. I don’t understand their way of thinking in general. I desperately want to have a life of my own. My father suffers from heart disease, my mother from anxiety.

27.Qualification
I left college studies of Tourism operator because I felt overwhelmed when studying for the exams (I memorized everything although it was hard) and for the nervousness I felt during them. I am currently attending a school of shiatsu and traditional Chinese medicine which I enjoy also because it will allow me to help those who suffer.

28. Nature of work
I’m not working at the moment because I’m afraid of failure, not being liked by my co-workers and not standing up for myself if I need to. I have had lots of jobs only lasting a few months because I lose interest in them after awhile. I need constant stimulus from my jobs, praise from my superior and to do well in them because I have great expectations from myself. I mainly had secretarial jobs although I found them stressful because I don’t have much self-confidence.

29. Desire or like and dislike of foods
I love coffee, chocolate, creamy foods, meat and fish and don’t have particular aversions. I dislike foods that are too sweet (ex. Candied fruit) too salty or too sour (ex. Grapefruit)

30. Name foods that increase your problem
My digestive problems increase due to foods difficult to digest (ex. peppers, beans etc)

31. Mind behaviour
1 depression 2. anxiety 3. social phobia 4. dependant personality 5. need of attention 6. self reproach 7. desire to be self-confident 8. dislike myself 9. stubborn, 10. too sensitive 11. not very patient anymore 12. mild nature but I can lash out easily 13. irritable, worse before period 14. morose 15. sometimes weeping easily, but do not feel better 16. sensitive to noise and bright light 17. forgetful when I am speaking to some-one and try to remember a name of an actor for ex. which I know. 18. I feel guilty for what I said or should have said 19. I feel I am boring but get bored easily myself 20. bouts of hysteria like shouting and shaking my head furiously 21. worried about my future 22. I’m too nervous to on do public speaking 23. I’m not very affectionate to my parents because I’m unsatisfied and I take it out on them. 24. I am loving to the guys I fancy but I change my mind continuously regarding the feelings I have for them. Sometimes I like two guys at the same time but I have never been unfaithful, only indecisive. I tend to like them a lot at the beginning but then I only see their weaknesses and have difficulty accepting them. I stop seeing a guy if I feel he’s not showing enough interest in me. 26. I love music and am sensitive to it. I get goose bumps when I hear my favourite songs and I love dancing but feel like doing it only sometimes 27. consolation sometimes ameliorates. It depends if I feel the words make sense to me 28. I love travelling and hope to find happiness in one of the countries I have stayed in but I always feel out of place; for ex. I have lived in Italy for the past 20 yrs but I don’t feel Italian and would like to live in Australia although I have never been there. It’s as though the grass is always greener on the other side. I feel I don’t belong to any nation or religion although I wish to. I feel more comfortable speaking English and if I were well, I would be working abroad. I always feel out of place 29. as for phobias I dislike small and confined spaces. 30. I am a tidy person but not fanatic. 31 I have the habit of measuring my stomach everyday hoping I have lost weight.

32. Aggravation and amelioration
Aggravation (before period, from little sleep, if hungry, I dislike hot humid weather and sensitive to cold too, my ideal temperature is 21-25°c with sun) & Amelioration (eating, resting sometimes, from massages, drinking wine, bathing)

I have taken several different homeopathic remedies and have found some that have covered some of my symptoms but not all of them. I tend to take them for 2 months max. and if I still have insomnia and apathy for ex. I try another one. I have changed a lot of therapists too because if I don’t see rapid changes I go to another one. I found partial improvement with Aurum Metallicum, Pulsatilla, Lycopodium and Natrum Muriaticum. Rhus Tox. helped me only with my constipation. Sulphur gave me a lot of energy but aggravated breast pain I had from taking Ignatia.

I am taking Silica mono dose 1MK and I have been feeling very tired, lazy and more depressed than the usual. I hope it is a sign of healing.

Kind regards,
Justine

Dr Deoshlok,

Thank you for taking the time to look up suitable remedies for me. Conium Mac. does not seem suitable for me but i will trust your opinion. As the dose is very high, won't i feel very upset emotionally? would a 200CH or 1MK be alright? As for the Gelsimium, would a 30CH be ok because my pharmacy only carries min. 30CH? By the way the silica has made the pain in my breasts disappear but i am still very depressed and unmotivated.
Would a constitutional remedy be capable of healing my hernia because it is debilitating?
I'm sorry for all these questions.
Thank you for your precious advice, i am very grateful for your help.
Kind regards,
Justine
