3. How do you feel emotionally (I feel sad & depressed, thinking about suicide. Think about all bad things happened in the past. I like to be alone all the time. I hate being with people…..)
4. Describe your personality (I am a headstrong person, very suspicious of others, very strict about discipline…. OR I am a messy person, not interested in cleaning. Don’t bathe for many days…..)
5. What occupies your mind mostly (I do a lot of daydreaming, I think about romantic getaways all the time, I keep making plans for things and never do them ….)

11. How is your thirst (I am thirsty all the time and even after drinking ice cold water remain thirsty)
12. Any coating on tongue (some white coating on edges only)

1. What are the symptoms of your health problem :Depression, anxiety, anger, irritability, lack of confidence and enthusiasm . Consider my self hard worker but don't enjoy my work difficulty in handling work pressures sometimes leads to irritability, long work hours , constantly chasing deadlines , sleep was also getting affected when I was working, anger and irritability also has been problems both at work and home.

Heaviness/ Pressure on top of my head, mind feels dull, heaviness in chest


2. What makes the problem better or worse: 1. Anger/ irritability: worsened when over worked and stress , often think I cant handle stress, anger irritability also worsened when I am challenged and when people doubt my capabilities, lack of sleep leads to excessive coffee drinking during day time to keep myself awake , which than leads to more anxiety and than worsening insomnia . I tried ignatia 30 ccx 4 for depression and also arnica 30c x2 for hair loss last couple of weeks, in addition after reading on forum last week tried staphy 200cc 1/wk after staring ignatia + arnica felt excessive thirst and urination not sure emotionally it changed anything, today I took second dose of staphy intermittently also had nux 30 cc, today my head is feeling heavy, chest feels heavy, mind feels very dull.
3. How do you feel emotionally: as mentioned above feel depressed , hopeless about future , want to stay alone , more irritable thought
about suicide in past never acted on it, not suicidal currently, think about failures , thought of never succeeding in spite of working hard. worry excessively about public perception.


4. Describe your personality : Headstrong , would not consider myself obsessive compulsive I don't focus on cleanliness but am not messy either.
5. What occupies your mind mostly:Lately negativity, plan but don't accomplish for fear of failure .
6. How do you respond to consolation : I hate consolation.
7. Do you fight or flight :tendency of picking of fight verbally when challenged which is my first reaction but regret later on.

9. Do you normally feel hot or cold : preference for Lower temperature.
10. What foods you love & hate : Like spicy foods , sweets, like chicken, fish.
11. How is your thirst : Thirst was ok before starting ignatia/ arnica but lately am drinking more .
12. Any coating on tongue : do not see any significant coating on tongue .
13. Any skin problems apart from dandruff no other skin problem.
14. Any problems with respiration: I am told I snore at night.
15. Any problems with stool/urine : constipation was never a problem, always go 2-3 times per day, soft stool, flatulence has been

a problem.

First step, please stop all remedies.

Are you on any other medicines

Since when have you had depression/anxiety issues

What was going on in your life that caused depression/anxiety

How has the loss of job affected you

Explain heaviness on chest

Does fear of failure make you not take on new projects or its just a fear

What happens when you have to speak in public

Are there any foods & tastes you hate
 
fitness last decade
Probably for years , very remotely tried anti- depressant after which I think I gained weight , worsening of symptoms occurs mostly because of external factors, mostly pressures at work , last few years tried only homeopathy
 
lpj27 last decade
Heaviness in chest mostly occurs when am anxious, feels like weight on the chest , loss of job I have been feeling depressed , worked very hard for it , I have accepted a new job but still don't feel Enthusiastic about starting new job, feels very low in energy. Inspite of failure I do take on new projects if I am forced to or where I don't have any choice.
 
lpj27 last decade

There are no particular food I hate but can't tolerate eggs leads to nausea, abdominal pain

Please explain further how do you respond when challenged.

What do you want to do when depressed and what helps you come out.

How do you feel when you are anxious.

Any recurring dreams.

Are you in any relationship, if so, how is it.

Please explain further how do you respond when challenged.
- when challenged or if I feel that my abilities are being questioned , I become guarded but respond verbally aggressively or I feel angrily, which some of the time I regret later on some of the time feeling of not being understood by the other person.

What do you want to do when depressed and what helps you come out. - don't feel like doing anything what helps me if external situation
changes or something positive
happens
How do you feel when you are anxious. - heaviness in chest , lack of sleep , restlessness.

Any recurring dreams. None

Are you in any relationship, if so, how
is it.married my wife is very supportive I feel I don't put in effort into this relationship

Have you stopped all other remedies.

There should be a break of at least one week before taking the remedy I am suggesting below.

Take a single dose of Lycopodium 200c and report back.

One dose is one pill. That's it.
No more dose.
