Pressure in my head and feeling "out there"
I have an ongoing problem with my head. I am tempted to say that I have had this problem for as long as I have been alive, but I am not so sure that this is correct because I think it has changed over time. However, I will say that my underlying emotional state has been with me for as long as I can remember. In a nutshell, I tend to be defensive and protective (of myself) and have very little trust, lack confidence, and socialize only on my own terms. I am very uncomfortable in bonding with anyone; in fact, I feel pretty much incapable of it most of the time (comes from a lot of neglect and no love in the home as a kid). I am also extremely sensitive to criticism of any kind. If I don't get good feedback from those I do work for, I automatically think they are critical of me and that they don't like my work. And, God forbid that one of them pick up on a 'mistake' that I made (which actually just happened on one of my projects and which I am obsessing about because I am afraid that I will lose the contract). I am unable to forgive myself for it. I am obsessive about analyzing what I just said (or didn't say) to someone, and I am continually going over the details in my mind. I am not okay with who I am (but who is?).On another note, I do have some good friends, but I spend most of my time alone. I have a dog. And I work out of my home. I find the head pressure (occipital) makes it extremely difficult for me to work out of the home. Another thing, I have the feeling of always wanting to go home (in order that I will feel better); however, I still have the pressure, etc. (feeling spacey, 'out there,' sort of confused) even when I am home.
If I had to name a physical problem besides the head pressure, I would say constipation is a recurring problem and has been throughout my life. I feel the need to be very controlling or to be in control. I can't just let things go.
I have been treated by four different homeopaths without much luck. I happen to be extremely sensitive to remedies - even one pellet of the smallest dose can be felt very strongly (I was in the habit of taking LMs with the last homeopathy whom I saw for two years). The list of remedies I have tried is long, but I have no idea what I was taking for those two years.
I have no kids (never wanted any), and I am recently divorced after a 20-year marriage.
Another emotion that comes to mind is intimidation. I feel intimidated very easily by strong people. I feel I have a very weak sense of self. I feel disconnected with my feminine/creative side and have a hard time with women in general (though I do have many friends).
I have tried numerous types of healing modalities and have come to realize that the second chakra (the orange one) is the chakra that holds the innocent self before being hardened by life's tribulations and when this chakra is out of balance, constipation or the other will ensue. For as long as I can remember, I have always had trouble being who I am. I have a hard time enjoying life because of the problem I have with my head (I feel that I have been unable to enjoy life since I was a child; somehow, I just get through it hoping that tomorrow things will get better, and when I say 'things,' I am not referring to anything in particular; I just mean 'me' - that somehow I will be able to just enjoy life.
I am currently in therapy right now (Guided Self Healing) and have never taken medications (with the exception of penicillin and a pain killer for a tooth ache). Cancer has always been a fear of mine.
Sorry to be so long-winded, but I could write volumes more, but I would probably just confuse everyone.
By the way, does anyone know anything about the remedy picture of 'punica granatum' (the pomegranate)? I happen to be drawn to pomegranates and know just a small bit about the remedy.
Thanks for any help any advice anyone can offer.

Thank you for looking at my case. I do appreciate it very much. Following are the answers to your questions:
1. My main suffering is the pressure/tightness in the occipital part of my head. Also, my head often feels too full. (It seems like it has something to do with control, but I am not sure.)
2. The only other physical problem I could mention would be that this head pressure seems to snatch my life away (my energy) - breathing is off at times. I am also weak and tired at times as a result (been like this since a child).
3. Mental sufferings: I am antagonistic with myself. I feel that I am not a good person, not good enough, that people don't like me, that they choose others over me, low self-confidence, low self-esteem, that I am not worthy
4. When I am at my worst, the pressure in my head will be so bad that I am unable to be with anyone, to be open with anyone; I feel so closed and shut down. I just want to be alone. Other times, I don't feel any pressure in my head, but I feel so 'out there' and unengaged in life that I feel like I lose my mental abilities (don't feel grounded enough to function). Also, paranoia takes over. I imagine that people are thinking all sorts of negative things about me.
5. I feel like I have had these emotional/mental problems my whole life - always felt like a second-class citizen at best - never expected anyone to think any better of me. I just connect it to the way I was raised. My parents probably felt no better than I feel.
6. The worst time of day for me is when I get up in the morning until around 3 o'clock in the afternoon which is when I am likely to feel better (evenings are best).
7. Things that aggravate my suffering is if I would have to be around people when I have that head pressure. It compromises my ability to work. I also have anticipatory anxiety, severe public speaking issues. My heart races even if I were to raise my hand in class and answer a question. (One on one, I am not like that.)
8. I feel like all of my sufferings are the result of my mental thought patterns. However, I am worse premenstrually.
9. The weather doesn't seem to affect me that much; however, I definitely prefer the warmer weather.
10. I am extremely sensitive to criticism and tend to take everything personally. I can range from feeling completely intimidated and mild to feeling very assertive. I can also range between feeling a total lack of self-confidence to feeling overly confident.
Thunderstorms: I love them, especially at night. I find them exciting.
Consolation: I am a very private person. I do not like people to know of my sufferings. I do not want them to think that I am down and out and that I need them to console me. I try to put up a brave front.
External stimuli: I am sensitive to both noise and light.
Habits: I think that I am obsessive, but not overly so. I am extremely organized and do the things that I am supposed to do - responsible.
Family, etc.: No good family relations. A lot of trust issues. Always felt my sisters were plotting against me, a lot of hate and suppressed anger there. Never felt part of the family. Always felt like I had to defend myself against them. Always feeling extreme feelings of rejection, but didn't want them to know I was feeling the effects of what they were doing so I would just put up a brave, confident front.
11. I can't think of any repetitive dreams with the exception of a lot of 'falling' dreams just before my divorce. Also, before the divorce,I dreamed about live turkeys being in the fridge waiting to be cooked - then another time, I dreamed about baking a live cat and then sampling a piece of its flesh while alive baking in the oven (felt sympathetic in the dream). I have not dreamed anything like this since the divorce.
12. Foods cravings: I love chocolate, chocolate chip ice cream, sweets, potatoe chips, and french fries with ketchup. I do not really crave anything else. Everything else that I eat I mostly do so because it is good for me. No red meat.
Food dislikes: Pastry, coffee (if it were mixed inside a chocolate treat, I would eat it though). I do not like any pastry (things that have flour that have been baked in fat/oil: donuts, fried dough, croussants, pies, anything like that). I do not like the taste of liquor - any of it.
13. Thirst: I am never thirsty unless I just ate pizza, which I do like to eat. I also like french fries with ketchup.
14. I like to eat, but if I am having trouble with my stomach (constipation), I will go without eating for 18 hours or so just so that I don't make the problem worse (it seems like the constipation makes my head problems worse).
15. Foods that my body can't stand: Flour products are not good for me. If I were to eat pasta for 3 days in a row, I feel very sick - weak. Also, overly processed foods do the same thing to me. If I do eat pasta, I eat a rice flour type. In general, I am better off eating vegetables, chicken, and fish - more of a plain diet.
16. I don't think I sweat very much. I walk a few miles a day with my dog.
17. Stool type seems normal - brown
18. Sleep is good, as long as I go to bed by 10:00 (hard to sleep late if I go to bed late). I sleep on my right side usually (rarely on my left). If I wake up in the middle of the night, I find myself rehashing problem relationships and wishing ill on them because of the harm they might have caused me. It overtakes me (unable to get them out of my mind) and I have a very difficult time going back to sleep afterwards.
19. Sexuality: Intimacy problems within my previous marriage. I have a hard time opening up to sexuality.
20. How am I different from others: I feel I am somewhat socialphobic - do better one on one. I have a very hard time mixing with people, say in a work environment or at a party. I feel like my head pressure makes me unable to connect with people the way others do. Just cannot let down and enjoy. I am too serious. Always needing to push myself, which makes the pressure a lot worse (when I am working).
21. Medications: None (I did have high cholest. years ago - 240 - I worked it out with antioxidants and reducing sugar intake).
22. Major diseases running in the family: My mother's mother died of cancer (I think it started in her breast, then spread to her liver). My mother had some kind of bout with breast cancer, but I don't think it was anything serious; the doctor put her on that common preventative drug. Father: Heart attack (bypass).
23. I actually look very healthy. I am about 5'6', 130 pounds, with long, brown hair.
Thanks for your help.

Hello, I posted my case a few days ago and haven't received any remedy suggestions. I cannot say that I blame anyone for not bothering to respond. It probably seems like I should be able to change my problem via therapy, etc., but I haven't been able to and I have spent thousands. Today, I am feeling the opposite of that 'pressure in the head' feeling and it is equally as difficult to cope with it. I feel so ungrounded that I can't function. It is almost impossible to do mental work because I feel like I am going to fall asleep (I used to just fall asleep on the job even though I'd get plenty of sleep). This has nothing to do with aging or any illness. I have had a brain scan and nothing shows. My feelings in this state are like this: no sense of purpose, unable to engage in life, listless, meaninglessness. I've done everything I know to fight this off and be as successful as I have become, but I have really just coped with it. Can anyone recommend something for these two extremes: the pressure (accompanied by driving myself into the ground) and the 'out thereness' (accompanied by a complete inability to get anything done). I would really appreciate it. I feel like I have lived my whole life like this and it is just tiring and meaningless.

to start the treatment, i suggest you take PULSATILLA 200C three doses at 4 hours interval.
if you feel any improvement withing the next 5 days, you should take PULSATILLA 1M three doses at 4 hours interval after 15 days.
if you dont feel any changes, come back for an alternative remedy after 7 days.
best wishes,

Thank you Rishimba for taking the time to look into my case, but I am sorry to say that I have tried Pulsatilla numerous times. The homeopath I saw in 1998-2000 (for two years) kept going back to that remedy, which didn't help me, so I went to see another homeopath for a few years who prescribed to me a bunch of different remedies and who told me that Pulsatilla, for me, never would have crossed his mind. After working for a year or so with this homeopath, I ended up going back to the first one because I was having an issue with my tooth (and he was working with my dentist at the time). Anyway, while I was there, he prescribed a constitutional remedy again (at my suggestion) and ended up giving me Carcinosin and then a few months later gave me Pulsatilla again, which didn't help at all (he was so convinced that Puls. was the remedy that he even gave me Puls. Nutt., which didn't work either. I stayed with him for almost two years again, trying a different remedy every 6 weeks, and then at the end of the two years, he presecribed Pulsatilla again - which didn't work (of course). At that point, I stopped homeopathy altogether for a few years. Then in 2005, I went to my last homeopath(in Cambridge, MA) and he too was shocked that anyone would have given me Pulsatilla.
Just an FYI, the homeopath who gave me the Pulsatilla asked me this question: 'What would you do if something happened to your husband?' (In my heart, I knew that I wouldn't get married again, but didn't tell him that - however, he later told me that all Pulsatilla types would go and look for someone else in the event of the death of their husband (or a divorce). As you know, I am divorced, and I have absolutely no interest in a relationship. I have to say, however, that I wish that I did because that would indicate that I am 'open' (I feel so closed - have my whole life). If I could get to the point where I have an interest in having a relationship, then that would be a sign of health. But, as it stands now, I spend most of my time alone (because of the head pressure) and issues of trust and all that just make it worse.
Regarding the Carsinosinum, when I initially took that remedy, I actually experienced a separation (in my mind) from my sisters. I would actually feel the sense of being an individual, however fleeting it was. It just didn't last though, even though I stayed on the remedy for a month. It feels to me that if I could experience a sense of who I am, then I would be able to have relationships, but as it stands, everything is blobbed together (I have big issues with boundaries), and I cannot separate myself from it, them, or anything.
Sorry to be so long. Thank you again. I appreciate your help.

Thank you again, Rishimba. I was wondering, however, whether it would be okay if I took 1LM instead of the 1M. I have had extreme trouble with high potencies and feel they are actually quite dangerous for me (they totally suck every bit of energy out of me - feel worse than I would without them).
My therapist, who is always trying to get me to go on prescription meds, feels that I have some sort of ADHD. She has come to this conclusion based on what I say about my inability to focus during the day (I do better around 4:00 p.m.). I just feel so out there, scattered, can't focus - however, I am an intelligent person, 3.8 GPA. I tend to be able to work if someone puts me under a deadline; otherwise, it is hard to get the job done. But if I am under the pressure to get a job done, then there is so much pressure in my head that it is unbearable. Another trait of mine (according to this therapist) is that I interrupt her a lot and never seem to answer the questions she asks of me. I tend to keep going off onto another subjects.
Anyway, my point in telling you all of this is because I wanted you to realize how unfocused my mind is. Will Natrum Mur. help with this. This needs to change so that I can better do a job during the day and not wait until evening rolls around to start working on something that I was just unable to focus on during the day.
Please let me know about the 1LM versus the 1M. Thank you again.

considering your sensitivity, lets increase the potency gradually.
take just a single dose of NAT MUR 200C.
watch the changes for the next 7 days. if its found positive, repeat it for next two weeks.
if no results even in 7 days, come back to me for alternate remedy.

Rishimba,
I am afraid of taking the 200C. What is wrong with 1LM. If it's an appropriate remedy, then won't it work at the 1LM potency (and with less harm if it doesn't). Sorry to be a bother, but I have had such trouble with them.
Thanks

there is nothing wrong in taking 1LM potency.
if you are so sensitive to homoeopathic remedies, its better to start with 1LM.

Rishimba,
As I told you, I took 30c Nat. Mur. yesterday (so it's been about 24 hours). Shortly after I took it, I felt better - memory improved, didn't feel so 'out there,' and I was able to stop obsessing about all sorts of things - it was easier to let things go and at night, I was able to relax more (rather than either pushing myself or feeling utterly exhausted that I can't do anything).
Anyway, I react quickly, as you can see. However, when I woke up this morning, the pressure at the back of my head was so severe that I didn't even want to get out of bed (typical). At the same time, I could feel a pulse, especially at the upper part of my body.
The biggest problem is that I am unable to have a bowel movement. For some odd reason, despite the help a remedy may give me (in this case, I don't feel as 'out there' and dizzy - that's improved), the remedy makes me more constipated. I feel like it shuts me down in that way. This went on for two years straight with the homeopathy that gave me 200C and 1M remedies. It got so bad (unable to go to the bathroom for weeks) that I would just antidote the remedies so that I would loosen up and be able to function and not have constipation. But the problem got so bad that I left homeopathy altogether and went to a healer (for two years) who was unsuccessful in getting me back on tract (i.e., normal bowel function). This is when I became so desperate that I went back to homeopathy and saw someone who gave me only 1LM remedies. I felt like he helped me with the constipation problem (though it is still a problem from time to time), but was unable to help me with the pressure at the back of my head.
My whole point in telling you this whole story is because if it is true that only the higher potencies can cure chronic problems (like mine), then what am I do to? The high potencies clearly don't help me (and I'm even concerned about the 30c affecting my ability to have bowel movements).
The way that it feels to me is that before taking any remedies, I feel so dizzy, scattered, out there, that I am completely unable to function. After taking remedies, I feel 'tighter' - not so loose - not so scattered. But this usually means a tighter 'back of the head' and bowels so tight that I end up holding on to everything (toxins, etc.).
I guess I could just wait and see what happens (without taking any more of the remedy).

please try to improve your bowel movements by taking al lot of fibers in the diet. you can try all naturopathic methods of removing constipation.
considering your sensitivity, you can try one dose of NAT MUR 12C. if you are ok with it, repeat it once a day for some days.
you can also try with NAT MUR LM one dose and see which one suits you best.
your major problem has been solved, you have found the remedy, its only a matter of zeroing in to the right potency, which you have to do with trial and error.

Thank you responding, Rishi. I will order the LM1 today and will keep you posted (it'll probably take 4 to 5 days to get here).
I did want to mention that most of the remedies caused constipation to worsen. However, lower potencies weren't as bad.
Also, I didn't mention it in my last email, but I antidoted the remedy (with menthol) on the day that I took that second dose. I am back to normal with regard to bowel movements. You mentioned something about fiber, I do eat a very good diet, better than anyone else that I know. And despite this, the high potencies would keep the constipation going (even if fiber was all I ate). As I mentioned, the last homeopath I went to (his low potencies) helped my body to return to functioning again - but it did nothing for my chronic head problem.
Something that I didn't mention in my last email is that my fingernails, which are thick, have vertical ridges on them and they have no white moons on them (with the exception of the thumbs). I have read that nails that have no moons indicates the person is depressed, not engaged in life. Honestly, I don't feel like I am really 'here' - what I would like is to be engaged in life but I have never felt that way (but it looks like I am fully alive and engaged in life to those around me). Another symptom of this is my low blood pressure - sometimes it's as low as 112 over 60 something.
Thanks again
