Lot of thoughts and constipation Page 2 of 4
This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Hi, I took the Arsenicum Album 3 days ago and that's the situation. I was able to keep my back straight instead of having a small stoop and the sleep quality is improved. The constipation maybe is a bit better but not that much and every time I evacuate way less than what I should.
In these days my mood is very down and sad, like if my fears were coming to light even more... I'd like to break down and cry shouting 'Who am I ? Why ? Help me!' but I keep all of this inside me :(.

Hi-
Ok When you take a 200c it takes around 15 days to see
effects. Report back again in 4 days what is going on.
If you want you can take things like a tablespoon of flax seed
oil a day to help with evacuation. Just know you are going
to get better, this is temporary, and emotions always feel
like they are never going to change- but ..they always do
change.
Make sure you take a brisk walk or some exercise a day
for 45 minutes and work up a bit of a sweat.

Hi,
after 15 days my constipation is improved especially in the morning and evening, but I've seen that the first stool seems to be ok but the second tends to be mushy and stynky, why ?
Also the skin above the nail matrix became red with some little bubbles and sometimes my hand swelled up with fingers.
Emotionally I feel some melancholy and I lack confidence on myself...
thanks

Hi Bonton.
That is a good response, there is activity going on. Remember that remedies do
not work instantly on things that have been there
for a time. The remedies activate your life force to clear
things little by little releasing layers of stuff. Here is a tip on
how to handle emotions as this progresses- do not identify with
your emotions. They come and go like the tide and they are when
healthy meant to let us know things- such as anger usually means
a red flag that your boundaries are being invaded or there is
unfair treatment going on, feeling a bad vibe going into new
places can mean you need to leave the area-people say'
Pay attention to your gut'- that is bc the gut actually has the same
cells as the brain, and it is called a second brain.
Things you are experiencing , low confidence and so on are simply
not true, that is not who you are, it is different than what I said
above. So take a step back and notice what you are feeling and
do not buy into it, it is old stuff.There is such a thing as emotional intelligence.
and you are learning what to pay attention to, what to discard,etc in that area.
Please give percentages to the issues.
1. Constipation cleared by how much?
2. Emotionally better by how much?
3. Are you taking the flax seed oil?
4. Are you exercising and making sure your diet is good?
Answer these and then report in 7 days from now.
Answer the above when you report in.

1. Constipation cleared by how much?
30%
2. Emotionally better by how much?
15%
3. Are you taking the flax seed oil?
No, I used to take flax seeds but they didn't work as long as I wasn't emotionally in order.
4. Are you exercising and making sure your diet is good?
I'm not exercising a lot in this period and I don't tend to eat much but I'm eating fruits, vegetables, dried fruit, etc...
How do I know if the remedy is doing its job or it isn't anymore ?
thanks

The remedy is doing something. You have to wait and
see what the answers to 1 and 2 are in a week.
If there is more clearing then you don't take anymore and wait again.
If things get worse again that means another dose.
Everyone is different in how they respond and the time
it takes- you cannot predict, you have to go by what
happens.

Just a curiosity, why do you think I'm an Arsenicum Album and not a Natrum Muriaticum ?

Hi, I don't think anyone 'is' a remedy. Remedies are
not like having an astrological sign.
Remedies are a medicine to stimulate your life force
into clearing what is not in balance. At this time
your list of symptoms had the most matches with
Arsenicum Album.

Hi, after more than a week I can say I'm getting emotionally worse. I feel depressed, lack of interest but also irritable and scared. Constipation goes with emotions and isn't improving, my face is dry and a bit oily ... :(
thanks
thanks

Take another dose of the Arsenicum. On the next day start
taking kali phos cell salt 6x. 3 tabs 3x a day and report back
in 4 days.

Cell salts are always tablets and to be considered a cell salt
they only go up to 12x potency. They are also called Dr. Schuessler
tissue salts. There are 12 of them and they work balancing out
the cell metabolism.
If you have trouble finding them let me know where you are
and I can help you. You can google homeopathic potencies and
read about x, c, m, etc.

Ok I've now understood what cell salts are.
Since Arsenicum is doing something on constipation but not much on emotional layer, do you think it is worth give Nat mur or Phosphorus a try ? In my opinion they have many of my mental symptoms (melancholy, suffering inside, idealize the past, easily hurt, isolated, not showing emotions outside, etc...)

I think that you need to try the Arsenicum again to see what
it does this time around before remedies are changed.

6 days ago I took a dose of Nat Mur 200c because I felt close to its symptoms and because I behaviorally need to see my condition improved as soon as possible or I won't think it's the right remedy... That night I didn't have a good sleep because I felt very apprehensive and had two trains of thoughts. The next day to nat mur I started taking Kalium Phosphoricum cell salt 3 tabs 3 times a day. Yesterday evening instead I was quite nervous and a strong internal anger came to light, but today I'm feeling depressed on the background, like if I had a deep grief inside that I'm not able to shout out crying, and I lack of confidence in future :(
Thanks and happy holidays!

Hi Bonton,
I know you have had that feeling of grief and wanting to shout
or cry before. So we don't know if the Nat mur is bringing this
back up again. Usually depression and anxiety go together like
sides of a coin. And repressed anger is a cause of depression-it
is good you felt the anger. We have healthy anger for a reason-
it means someone or something is crossing a line that should
not be crossed. So, if you can imagine some kids throwing rocks
at your window, I am sure you would be instantly angry and
run out and Yell at them to stop doing that. You have a right to do
that and that goes for other areas of life as well.
Now you have to wait again, to see if the Nat Mur is bringing up
past states and then they will pass on. See if they do.
Continue the Kali Phos 6x for a couple more days and report in
what is going on.
My best wishes for a Happy, Healthy, fabulous New Year for you.
Best regards,
Simone717

Hello,
In these period initially felt tired, exhausted and depressed but in the last couple of days I'm feeling something is changing: I'm a bit more open with others and it's more easy for me to talk without having to worry of making mistakes or give a bad impression and I'm more happy. But I'm also scared of loosing my old way of living! It gave me a sense of comfort and safety (despite all the physical and psychological problems it created) and leave it away makes me feel like if I was wandering aimlessly and this still causes me some sadness and regret making me feel lost...

Let me reassure you that this 'scared' feeling is normal.
It is called an ' adjustment reaction'. Your mind gets into habits,
along with the body. Imagine a person that lived in a dangerous
area, and then was moved to another place that was very safe.
I guarantee you for around 2 weeks they will go out and be looking
around for danger, and feeling tense, meanwhile wondering what
is wrong with them. They are adjusting. It takes time.
You are entering new territory here, so relax it is going to feel
odd, and go at a pace that is comfortable for you. Bit by bit it will
all start to seem comfortable-now that you know this, acknowledge
the feelings and move on.An example would be if the doctor gave
you some fever medicine but said for 2 weeks you might feel
some heat flushes ( so when the heat flushes appeared you would
just say- Oh, it's Ok) It is ok, this is how things work.
Don't take anymore, report back in 5 days.
Best,

Thanks for reassuring! I also am uncomfortable when I feel I'm returning back again to old ways of acting and thinking...
I've only taken Nat Mur once 10 days ago if it's ok.

Yes, it is ok, the nat mur is still doing things, so report
again in 5 days.
Going back to old ways of thinking/acting is normal-remember
that everything is a process of change -especially long
term habits.

Hello,
in these days I initially felt like if I was coming back to old ways, then yesterday at school I felt inside me a kind of anger as if would have liked to punish everybody who teased or that didn't give importance to me >:(. I often appear as a very quiet and a bit asocial guy but behind that mask there has to be hidden feeling of revenge for everything I couldn't do or express because of my inner repression... that day I was able to evacuate after lunch when I usually only can after breakfast. I'd like to show myself to others as I am but if I do I feel I'll become vulnerable and other people would laugh after me, so I'm full of regret for thoughts I repressed instead of letting them go out :(.
In this period I am also not able to get up on early morning as I did time ago and I find difficult to get out of the bed. Just few days ago I felt like I had new sprint but now I'm becoming again tired, useless and sad, I can't even find 10 minutes in a day to relax because I always postpone it doing stupid things instead...
Thanks!

Last time I took the mono dose tube.
Yesterday I vomited and had a bit of diarrhea (probably because I mix up too many different foods for lunch and I was outside home for many hours), I started feeling the fever and I didn't want to get out of the bed so I was tired. Now I've got a painful pulsating headache especially in the forehead, temples and eyes. I'm thirsty, no perspiration and no urge of urinating, also dry mouth, sense of confusion, discouragement and digestive path not moving. Why am I periodically affected by this condition every few months ad what would you suggest ?
Thanks
