No this is all wrong.
No remedy for chronic problems will be quick or instant. This is an unreasonable expectation. Nobody claims this about the simillimum. We don't practice magic.
For chronic problems, and especially long term and complex ones, you are looking at weeks, months, and possibly years of treatment with the simillimum to see cure.
Many times the simillimum will cause a huge upheaval in the person's health. The person will often feel much worse for awhile - that may be weeks after a single dose. In mental health cases every defence the person has erected to protect themselves becomes painful for them, and they must reorient their whole perception. It is hard work, like a concentrated pill of counselling.
The only way such a patient will know for sure that they are on the right remedy during this time is because the practitioner, who is the objective observer, can monitor the changes and direction. Left to their own devices without any guidance patients usually panic, and beging interfering with the curative process. Once the initial aggravatation dies down the patient themselves can tell there has been positive changes - how widespread depends on many things present in the person and their case.
Often at this point a careful examination of the patient is necessary to see what has changed, what level such changes occurred on, and what direction things have moved in. The patient may actually be suffering in some way because the disease has moved from a more important area to a less important one, but the patient may be unable to see that without an outside party to point it out. When the disturbance moves from one part of the mental level to another part, this can be very difficult for patients to see properly, and a practitioner must be well versed in the hierarchy of the mind and the body.
Very often it may take a second or third dose to see a dramatic improvement for some patients. The first dose may seem quite tame, but a skilled practitioner will see the movement going in the right direction and have the confidene to persist with the remedy. Patients on the other hand will find it very difficult to tell this.
The simillimum may also bring back an old state, which might feel even worse to the patient that what they were experiencing before the remedy. Usually, on a real simillimum, the same remedy wil be indicated (and redosing may be needed straight away). In some cases a second remedy respresenting this old state may be needed and must be found quickly to help resolve the old symptoms before the opportunity is lost or the patient tries to suppress it.
Partial similars are still wrong remedies, but they have enough similarity to part of the case to create some relief. They always leave behind the source of the person's disease untouched, even if they palliate or remove some of the less important symptoms. Skilled and prompt use of a series of partial similars can bring a patient to a relatively good state of health. However, this method still leaves the basic problem untouched, and this will grow into a new complex disease over time.
If a homoeopath is perceptive enough, and diligent enough at this point (rather than sending the patient of in a 'well enough' state), the genuine simillimum could be found with much of the surrounding 'noise' in the case quietened down.
Use of partial similars always leaves the patient feeling something is not right, that something has not been reached. Often a few symptoms remain, although they may be relatively minor compared to what was going on before. The patient also tends to engage in the same unhealthy behaviours as before, although again the intensity which they pursue them may be decreased.
Partial similars also run the risk of being suppressive remedies. In such cases the patient slowly worsens, as one outlet for the underlying disease is blocked after another. Then a sudden crisis can come, that may threaten the life or sanity of the patient.

Platina cannot make you feel like Aurum, that is impossible. Only Aurum can make you feel like Aurum. Platina can only make you feel like Platina, or it can be experienced as a threat by your vital force and makes you feel your own state/remedy more strongly (makes the real remedy more clear).
Natrum-mur can cry quite easily, can be hysterical and over-emotional. Crying doesn't stop someone needing Nat-mur.

What are row 6 qualities, do you even know? How are you even making all these decisions? Have you studied periodic table prescribing? Do you know how to choose a mineral remedy, or even if a person needs one? Do you know how to tell the difference between a salt and a single element? Do you know when a metal is indicated over another type of mineral? Do you know what the gasses are like, what radioactive elements are like, what the alcohols or the aromatics are like?
Same as before, desperate and irrational prescribing with no understanding of what the remedies do, why you would need them, what their effects are.
You are running around blindly in a room full of sharp objects, hoping that one of them will cut off your wart.

You cannot judge what remedy you need on the basis of the aggravation you have on another remedy. An aggravation cannot make you feel beautiful, peaceful, cleansed - an aggravation is a worsening of your current symptoms. You have no idea what Nat-mur would feel or what any remedy is for. Really do you think you are making any kind of rational decision here? You have no idea what you are doing, just picking away at your soul now just like you pick at your face.
An Aurum proving will be dangerous - it's power to drive people to suicide is well known. You continue to load that gun up and point it at your head. Do you even care that it is going to go off? Or maybe you don't even believe in homoeopathy any more - it's just a big game you can play to get attention here.
Well if nothing else this bizarre and senseless experiment will teach others on the forum what happens to people who self-prescribe. So in that sense I suppose your self-harm may actually benefit someone, appalling as it is to watch.

I cannot treat you - I have already told you why. That is your problem with being a patient, not mine being a practitioner. It is insurmountable while you act the way you do. No point in begging me - you might as well beg me to put wings on you and let you fly to the moon. It simply cannot work because of the way you do this. Since you won't change and won't accept that this is a problem, it is just unworkable. Sorry, but you are the one who is responsible not me.
If you won't go see a homoeopath, frankly I have no idea how you are going to get cured. Maybe you won't. I can only hope that as things get worse and worse you will be driven into the consulting room of a real homoeopath who can deal with you - although even then, your sabotaging behaviour can still destroy any hope of cure for you. So I just don't know what to suggest. I personally can't see any way out for you.
