obsessed by adandonment fears

I would like to add that I live this situation with high anxiety more than sadness,etc.

hi,

thanks for the answer.

I have done counselling for a few years, but didn't really change things. It is not something I ever managed to rationalize: I see clearly what is happening, i can list a number of events, situations, etc in my life, I tried in many ways to get over it but it comes up stronger lately. Like every night in my dreams.

As far as homeopathy is concerned I tried Ignatia (since aggravation from critics, frequent crying, etc), Lac Maternum, Carcinosinum.

I think my self esteem improved, in the sense that I can do my own things with more self assurance. The emotional dependency part has not been touched yet though.

I can become really anxious and have all kind of ideas (illusions) of what is happening when my partner doesnt call me for some time.

My chest is totally blocked by this anxiety and sometimes i wake up feeling that I am suffocating.

thanks.

thank you for the advise. I am looking at homeopathy and was considering Argentum Nitricum. it seems to be fitting the anxiety,the mental overexertion, etc.

is anybody familiary with this personality?

good to know about the details and to see examples :)


Please go over them again and provide detailed answers e.g.

For stools you wrote constipation to loose hemorrhoids, where are the details

So here are the details: I sometimes have difficulties passing stools, in the sense that I need to strain. I have had hemorroids since I was 17, after some bumps falling with the snowboead and not after long that I had my first sexual intercourse( i am connecting the two things now, but i was never told the bumps caused that). I have loose stools when I feel nervous about doing something, when i am in a rush, etc.

For periods you wrote 'nothing special'

periods: definetely regularly,i am very irritable the day before (really sensitive over sensitive to antying, crying and all emotions can cause big crisis). the blood is on the adundant side, but not hemorragic. bit on the darker side.

Similarly for intercourse
intercourse have been really peinful the last months: i feel really pain on the moment of contact, even if very slowly and gently there is always some blood afterwards, and it is still painful. very much tight muscles and painful especially on the cervix.


please let me know if there is any other details or parts you need to know more, and i agree with the no need to rush...i acutally feel like trying something immeditatly out of anxiety and that i guess wouldnt help.

a couple of things to add: i have add a lot of head injuries while growing up: at 7 i had a serious head trauma after falling, was 2 months in hospital. then at 11 an accident with the sky my head was injured (cut). also I feel two other times on my head, once the back part and once the upper front part were injured. i had an abortion (volutnarly) when I was 24 and after that I was depressed for many years. for 2 years I have taken prozac but stopped because i felt it wasnt the right thing for me. since then, the mood was up and down, but stabilized when I started to practice mindfulness in 2008. big improvments in my mental and emotional stability. didnt take off the feeling of abandonement and the anxiety though, when i practice i do feel much better in this, too.

My homeopath prescrived me aconite for the head injuries and the hospitalization, together with arnica (this is how i started with homeopathy, two years ago). about the tilo smith, yes i was reading about his inspiring hompeathy and used lac maternum for the loneliness feelings and the abandonement, and the carcinosinum for the lack of self esteem. especially for the fact that caricnsinum types seemed to come from higly demanding families, where things have to be perfect and good all the times, this is how i greew uo

and this is also why i was directed towards arg nit, i think i need to prove myself all the time for a basic lack of self steem but coupled with pride and wanting to be good.

but before just trying the remedy, i decided to post here and exchange ideas.

dear simone and fitness,

i am going over what you aske to provide, editing, answering, etc.

if there is something missing i am filling it, what i put down in a very simple way is how things come natural for me to describe.


i will answer to some other details now.

more details about the head injuries:

at 7 i had a serious head trauma after falling, was 2 months in hospital. the right side of my skull was heavily hit, i had an inner hemmorage and was hospitalixed. they didnt have to operate me since I started to vomit the blood. then at 11 an accident with the sky my head was injured (a person fell against me and his sky cut my head on the back, I had 4 stitches. i remember a really unfriendly experience at the hospital, i was feeling scared but the chirurgian wh stitched my head was telling me that i should be quiet to let the work be done since it was not that painful after all. i was not making any scene, i was just a bit anxious about the needle). also I feel two other times on my head, once the back part and once the upper front part were injured.

about needles: when i was hospitalized when I was 7, every night they would come with an injection on my buttocks, which I remember as the most painful thing i ever had. i don't know what they were injecting me, but i was teorrorized by that. since then, i am really scared of needles. I almost faint when blood has to be taken out of my arm.

some memories of my childhood: father abusive, he was hitting me and my older brother frequently, also with his belt. if we were not respectful of him, as he put it, for anything which defied his value in any way.
mother was working a lot, quite cold but materially caring for us, shy personality, tendency to be critical about everything. still now she criticizes me any time she can, i used to be really hurt about it and i am trying to get over it, putting it more on her character trait than on something that i do wrong. father died 6 years ago of heart attack, he was 72. much older than my mother (14 years older). I used to hate him a lot for his violence, insults, etc. I don't know if i was ever abused sexually. no memories at all of that. i was definetely abused pshychologically and physically for many years.i was not allowed to cry when this happened, or else i was threatened by him that he would have beaten me up more.

I can't make out what you are trying to say here 'after some bumps falling with the snowboead and not after long that I had my first sexual intercourse.....' == what i mean here is that i remember what happened before the hemooroids started. i was 17, didnt have them before, they appeared after the first sexual intercourses and after the period istarted to snowboard, where i heavily hit my bum over and over while practicing. i was trying to connect the memories.

Intercourse pain is due to dryness of vagina? or what?
i edited this part on the original question file, let me know if you need more details


How tall are you 1.60 metres

Are you married, if yes, how is your marriage

i am living with my partner. the relationship has ups and downs, we are very kind and loving to each other and the moments of upset come when he retreats in himself. he works a lot and is quite shy and introverted and has periods of light depression, in which he doesnt talk much, and doesnt open us. in those moments i am afraid that when we wiill have a family (children) he will not manage to be there for us because if these periods. i also dream at night that he flirts with other girls. he doesnt do that, but he sometimes makes jokes that i don't like at all with other girls, which i perceive as very humiliating. example, we are in this camp and he needs to present me, and he says something like 'hey this is my girlfriend, she is really good at cleaning and cooking..' or things like that. in those moments i feel so much anger and we start to fight, ending up with me telling him that he is a complete asshole. In those moments i feel humiliated. forgot to mention that for this reason i took staphisagria for about 6 months (200 ch for 4 months, then 1 M for 2 other months). effect i started speaking up for myself, and when i do he actually realizes that he goes over the border with these jokes. this is something that he would do let's say once every 2 weeks (a joke like this) but i can't stand it and i still feel a lot of anger rising up in me. When i am really angry I cry hysterically and i feel like crashing things.

he suffered for some months of desire problems, where he woulnt make love with me if I was the one starting it, and I felt very much rejected by that. lately at night i sometimes have also dreams where I am having sex with younger men and I am trying to hide it from him. Also, sometimes i dwell in hantasies which are somehow humitaling and for which i feel alot of guilt.

in my medical history there is something important i need to add:

when i was 4 years old i was hospitalized for a urinary tract infection. i had a very hig fever (41 degress) and was delirating. i was cured with antibiotics (bactrim) and i remember being at the hospital having a cathetre which was really really painful.

sometimes, when i really relxed, i feel an intense piercing pain in that area (external lips at the exit of the urinary tract) which is really strong and doesnt make me breathe for some minutes.i feel it only just before falling asleep or or waking, let's say 3 times a month,

also, during my pshicological cures, i was diagnosed with PTSD, treated with rapid eye movement theraphy, which didnt bring any result.
[message edited by eclipsina on Tue, 22 Oct 2013 08:56:37 BST]

here i try to recollect all the homeopathic medicines taken (they normally didnt mix with each other but sometimes they overlapped after carconosinum)

1. aconite 200 ch: 1 time
2. arnica 200 cH: 1 time
3. staphysagria, 4 months 200 ch once a week, 2 months 1M once every two weeks.
4. carcinosinum 200 CH, for 3 months once a week
5. Lac maternum 1 M 3 or 4 times
5. calcarea carbonica 200 ch, for a month, once a week
6. aurum 1M, 2 or 3 times
7. lachesis mutus 1 M, for 3 - 4 times
8. ignatia amara, LM1, drops, for about two months.

now i have not been taking anything for the last months, expect two weeks ago when i was really upset i took some drops of ignatia LM1 again but on my own, for a week. it helped feeling calmer


i edited the original questionnaire, added clarifications on other posts, etc. added a lot of details. feel quite exhausted now. will check the forum later this afternoon.

thanks, i will order this and try it&then let you know what happens.

Dear Fitness,

I took one dose as you suggested of Ars Alb 200CH, last week on Tuesday. On wednesday morning I had a moment of crisis after which I would normally get really down but I found the strenght to react. Also, in the same day and after I realized that I was holding back from 'complaining too much'. So even if something i didn't like happened, i was not so worked up about it. same happened for discussions with my partner -i could stop the criticism/complain definetely earlier than usual because i wasn't feeling so worked up. I still have the tightness in the chest, and the anxiety. I dreamt again of having relationships with much younger guys, of which I was feeling really guilty and confused.

I would like to take another dose.

let me know if you would like more details or observations. at the physical level, i still feel really tired easily, even if I could say that there is a slight improvement.

best regards,
