Ok I have spend a few hours going through the original details you provided. There are a number of questions that occur to me (and I should have pursued earlier I think).
What I would like you to do is expand on the following things you have mentioned. If I give you a word, can you explain the meaning of that word using other words or images or concepts, and then give me your experience of it. Don't give me a story from your life though.

Hi David, Thanks for reviewing my case.
Trauma - An emotionally scarring event that I still feel the repurcussions of as an adult, limiting me and framing my behavior in situations triggering the those feelings.
Overwhelm - In cases in my environmental, feeling on edge. Nervous, anxious, want to be out of that situation, e.g. busy, loud, confined areas, elevators with poeple talking loudly. In cases with my health, I feel stressed, like I cannot see any ease in it in the future. I do not know how I could bear it longer because the worry and stress exhausts me. I just want relief.
Hurt - Regarding feelings, I am extremely sensitive. Much more sensitive than anyone else I've met. My feelings get hurt, meaning I feel saddened unloved/unappreciated/misunderstood/alone.
Withdraw - I only see in my response related to my mother. She has always been depressed. As a result she does not express her feelings and wears a mask withdrawing from us and making nearly impossible to be close. She does not share vulnerable parts of herself to us because I believe she feels it is in our best interest and will prevent us from worrying. She does not want to be a burdern but it ultimately because one anyway.
Isolate - I feel alone.
Alone - I have a hard time describing this. i feel that I am by myself. That I have no on to turn to. That no one is ultimately there for me.
Outside/Inside - hmm...when I am depressed I stay inside my home and have a hard time leaving and interacting with the rest of the world. I choose to stay by myself which futhers the feeling of being alone. I wear my emotions on my sleeves, therefore unable to keep them inside. I am an open book. I cannot function like most people who are able to take in information, process it and move on. Everything to me is personally. I take it as a response to me...who I am. Therefore I feel hurt frequently and everyone then knows my feelings. If I am having a bad day, everyone knows it. If I am having a good day, everyone knows it.
Trapped - feeling like I had no way out of the situation I was in.
Hiding - I cannot find where I used this word.
Tight - My muscles are like rocks. They are sinewy and tight, pulling from my shoulders, through my neck into the base of my skull. They hurt when pressure is applied and cause many headaches becuase of the tension.

Ok the only words that appeared to trigger more information there were Inside/outside, and Tight.
Give me an image for something that pulls and is tight - don't use your body as that image.
What is the exact experience of 'hurt' for you. Try to describe the sensation of hurt, the meaning of hurt.
It seems to me that you require a plant remedy not a mineral. To decide on the plant group, it is necessary to understand the specific kind of sensitivity you have.
Describe in detail the pain of the headache, the pain behind the eyes.
Describe the pain in the knee.
Describe any other pains or sensations in the body you have that you may not have mentioned.

image for something that is tight would be if you pulled a
deflated balloon and stretched it out as far as it would go. hurt to me is equivalent to being unloved, an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach, feeling let down by others..reminding me that I am different. Alone and can only rely on myself. I have a number of types of headaches. The first is dull ache at the base and sides of my head that sometimes extends to the back. Those can increase to the throbbing kind behind the eyes which can increase to a stabbing behind the eyes that make than tear up. More often I get the dull long lasting ache and if I don't take something or don't get enough rest it can turn into the others. The dull ache can last for weeks if don't take something, on and off. The pain in the knee if a sharp pain behind the knee caps when applying pressure. I also have sharp pains on my wrists when I apply pressure on the palms and fingertips are pointing up. I have a sharp pain under my right shoulder blade that I feel if I breathe in deeply. I have sharp pains in my neck when I rotate my head our try too move it down, up, left, or right.I have sharp pain in my jaw when I open it wide.

Ok so now we have Sharp as a prominent sensation.
Sharp - give me words, images, pictures, examples.
Other words for sharp.
If I wanted to experience something that was sharp, what would that be?
What images and thoughts come to mind when you free associate Sharp (just express them don't filter or intellectualize them too much).
We also have the modalities:
Worse for pressure
Worse breathing deeply (movement?)
Worse moving the affected part
So motion and movement seems prominent as well. Anything else you can offer on that?
Describe 'empty' a little more.
The idea of the balloon is good - so Tight means Stretched Tight - that is right?

Sharp would be piercing. Behind my knees its like someone is pushing a dull ice pick into them. Sharp in my headaches could be described as electricity adopting pulsing through. pressure is applying weight, going up and down stairs. much less when walking. worse breathing deeply because my lungs press into my back, so pressure again. My knees actually feel better upon movement. Empty, I didn't think about that too much when I selected it but that feeling you get when you drive over a small hill fast and there is that dropping sensation. Kind of like that. I associate that with shock and disappointment, being let down. And yes, you understand correctly about the balloon. The pain in the neck and shoulders and jaw is upon movement. The jaw pain isn't as sharp. It reminds me more off the stretched balloon.

What is the experience of shock, disappointment, being let down?
I am close to choosing a new remedy.

♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I guess the experience of shock, disappoint, being let down, is abandonment. I felt like I was abandoned growing up. Which is what made me feel alone and why I turned inward. I taught myself that I cannot rely on anyone for support. I felt alone and scared and as a result tried to make convince myself that I was strong so now have a hard time accepting any sort of assistance or generosity from people. I felt weak emotionally. I still do at my core I think, even though I know im not. I how that's what you were looking for.

Another thing I should note is that sadness plays a major factor. Alone, isolated, inward, abandonment, hurt, etc. are all associated with sadness. Intense sadness.
antied77 last decade
Hmmm...what about trying to describe that intense sadness for me?
So are you saying that you isolate yourself because of the feeling that everyone has let you down?

♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
I've always just felt sad. I felt sad when people disappointed me in their behaviors. If they were not honest like me. If they behave in any way that I do not believe is right fair or just, if they were mean or insensitive. I have a very strong moral background and many others don't. this makes me sad because I want people to be good. be like me. Its something that makes me feel isolated from others. makes me feel different and alone, untrustworthy of others. I feel sad because that too means that the world is not what I want it to be, kind and loving. People seem cold and insincere. It's hard to describe because i'm not sure i understand it myslef.
I isolate myself to prove that I am right in believing I am alone and no one loves me.

The remedy I would like you to try is Curare 200c. The main theme of Curare is 'Isolation from Shock, Disappoinment, Loss'.
It also shows the following symptoms which correspond to your case:
Falling out of hair (Boericke)
Weakness on waking
Profuse menses
Forgetful
Depression of spirits
Sick of living
Desire to be alone
Sharp pains in the head
Pain over one eye (typically right) severe at times
There will be more, I only have a couple of materia medicas with me and their information on Curare is sparse. I will post some more when I get home.

Okay, if you say so! i'll buy some online today. are pillules okay or do you want me to get the liquid?
antied77 last decade
It doesn't matter, you will still need to make up a bottle for dosing either way.
I have been able to check all of my books. This is what else Curare covers.
Physical exertion aggravates
Heaviness
Injuries, blows, falls and bruises
Ailments from mortification, humiliation
Aversion to company, avoids the sight of people, shuts herself up.
Dullness on waking
Stiff and tight cervical region during headache

Hi david,
I haven't bought the curare yet. I was wondering, I've been noticing lately that I have a lot of anger towards others. I'm sure resentment built up from childhood. Do you think that changes the remedy at all or should I stick with curare?

Hi David,
I dissolved two pillules of curare into the dropper, took one drop and put it into one half cup of water, and took one teaspoon this morning.
Also, my surgery is set for july 7th.

Dissolved them into the bottle you mean don't you? And you hit the bottle twice firmly before putting the drop into the water?
♡ brisbanehomoeopath last decade
That has nothing to do with homoeopathic medicines. Our remedies are non-physical imprints in water, fizzing is not relevent at all.
I have no idea who told you that - it is a strange idea though. Don't worry about it.

Repeat the dose. No particular oversensitivity it seems so you can repeat it twice in a row. After 3 doses either there will be a reaction or the remedy will need to be abandoned.
When you do the second dose hit the bottle 4 times.
When you do the third dose hit the bottle 6 times.
Also, reduce the amount of water you are using to dilute the remedy by half.
