bump up

Thank you very much.
He has filled out the first part but had to go back to work.

This is a rather arduous and slow task for him being that concentrating on things he has to think about is exactly what his problem is but he will finish the rest tomorrow and post it then.

Ok here we are, thanks again for your consideration.


Complaints:
1.
I get very tired when having to think about things that require concentration. Not everyday things. Thinking in depth. Calculations, reading and thinking about what I am reading.

I always had trouble concentrating as a child but it wasn't until I became a teenager that it made me mentally and physically exhausted and tired/sleepy as well.

I will put off anything like this i can. To me it is a nightmare. I cant find the words for the emotions I feel. Perhaps frustrated and annoyed. I would say it feels like my thinking is blocked. I wish someone could plug into my head to find the problem because I find it too hard to describe.

It stops me from attempting anything that requires deep concentration. When I have to I feel it takes me 10x longer than an average person and I find it laborious and taxing. I feel it has limited my job prospects. It makes me feel that I have an undiagnosed problem.
Nothing seems to make it better except to go and have a nap. Then it starts again when I start concentrating again.
When I write I feel as though I stammer, I feel the need to go over it many times and correct it as it is not written clearly enough.

2. Hairloss, thinning hair. My father lost his hair early in his 20's. i take after my mothers side physically. My hair loss Started gradually when I was 26. I was going through a very stressful time. Receding hairline and thinning on the crown.
Affects my self esteem about my appearance.

3. Insatiable sexual desire.
Began as a teenager.
Even after just having sex the strong desire is back within a few hours. Sometimes the desire feels worse after sex than before.
It makes me feel trapped because I know it is too much to ask of my wife continually and I don't masturbate. Going without makes me feel like I'm missing out, makes me feel unable to cope with other stresses as well. Also if I don't have sex for more than a week I will have a nocturnal emission often with amorous dreams.
If someone praises me at work, makes me feel good about myself and the desire increases.

*wifes note-when stressed, angry or frustrated the desire becomes more urgent. Gets very short tempered and resentful.


Mental and Emotional State Description

1. What are the issues in your life that bother you the most. Not physical issues but mental or emotional ones. List each one separately and describe why each one bothers you so much.


Frustration, other than the sexual reasons, not being able to retaliate to injustices to me and my family. like when i feel badly treated by someone I feel frustrated like I want to retaliate but dont and then feel frustrated. Frustration that I have trouble remembering detail about conversations,even ones I've just had. Also That I can't answer people quickly, if put on the spot. However I have a very good long term memory for different things such as faces and events from the past.

Anger. Linked in with the frustration and the reasons there. Not rage. Mainly Because of feeling out of control of the situation.
It angers me and I feel its unfair that in life people can get away with saying mean and damaging things, or even subtle bullying in other ways and its often overlooked, hard to prove, hard to get justice. And yet it is often when the victims that are criticised for speaking up for themselves.



2. What emotions are the most troublesome for you? What situations provoke these emotions. How do these emotions make you act? Do you feel any ill effects from expressing or not expressing these emotions.


As above. But my normal tendancy is not to talk about it. I feel in my mind going over it and talking about it causes more upset. I feel embarrassed or ashamed if I talk about it. Especially if it's about someone treating me badly or unfairly, i am embarrassed that they have been able to do that to me.
I feel expressing the emotions makes me feel worse initially.


3. What incidents in your life have had a deep impact on you? Describe each incident in detail and how they made you feel? What did you do in those situations? What effect have they had on your life?

* Bullied by a co worker for years when first started work as a teenager. Constantly made fun of and put down in front of others. My religious beliefs ridiculed. I never told anybody until i got married, even my parents* as I did not want to burden anyone else. I usually just took it quietly. would blush, feel embarrassed and very self concious. It affected my self esteem a lot. Very conscious of what people said about me or would hear about me.

*Around the same time, my parents business went bankrupt which put my parents in financial difficulty. I felt worried for them. Worried it was causing them stress, that my dad wasn't coping with it and at the same time my dad went into hospital for a nervous breakdown/depression. Perhaps worried that he would commit suicide like his father did from depression.

*Also my mother had an unexpected baby brother later in life around the same time and he was premature and in hospital for 6 weeks. I felt concerned for him. That I wanted to protect him. Worried that he would have to go through the things I had to when he started work. Worried he might be taken advantage of, kidnapped, bad things happen to him.

*criticism from associates in our religious group. Unfair and wrong criticism/false allegations from people who should know better.Having to justify my actions to them, feeling scrutinized and unfairly judged. Not being able to say the things I really want to them. Makes me feel alot of anger and frustration.

*the tiredness that I get all the time. I feel like it affects how much I can get done or do in my life. I just have to sleep especially when there are stressful things happening.

*Primary school I had a very loud domineering teacher who used to scare me. She made me very nervous and anxious all the time. I feel like now I would like to tell her what a pathetic teacher she was.

*I was self conscious of my looks growing up, I felt fat and not good looking.

4. What are you afraid of? Especially important are phobias, but it might be objects, situations or events that just produce a high level of anxiety. How do you manage your fears? How do you react when confronted with these fears? What would be the worst situation for you to be put in that would provoke these fears? You may need to talk about each fear/anxiety separately.

No major fears. Confrontations make me very anxious. I feel caught off guard, because I think slowly, I feel 'gotten the better of' because I often think of things I want to say later on. I then beat myself up over it as to how I should've done it differently.

I feel very anxious when out in public. I feel very subconscious about people seeing what I'm doing, them looking at me and specially about people knowing my business. Thats not with everything. For instance, I dont care if people know I've painted the fence, but I care if they see me actually doing it. I dont mind so much if Im somewhere where no one knows me, but more where I live and work. I like to feel annonymous.




5. What hobbies do you have? Why do you like each of these activities?

I don't know that I have any. The closest thing to it would be projects I do renovating our house. Other than that I enjoy watching a movie, because it entertains me. Perhaps it helps me switch off or relax. As a child I loved to draw.


6. Do you have any persistent thoughts, ideas or beliefs that are difficult to stop or cope with? What are they?

Sexual desires. That I may be taken advantage of in some way.

7. Do you have any unusual gestures or movements of the body? Do you feel any unusual sensation or pain throughout your body? What exactly does it feel like is happening in your body?

I seem to be clumsy, particularly with my feet or elbows. I am tall and do have very large feet but I often trip over things in plain view or the same peices of furniture or doorways over and over. When Im tired I get a pain in my ear. I think its my left, a dull ache that feels like connected to my throat and nose. Also when tired I get heartburn.
When walking down the street I feel the need to do something with or have something in my hands.

8. When you experience your fears, persistent thoughts, or difficult emotions, what kind of sensation or reactions do you get in your body?

Debilitating tiredness. I have to sleep extra to cope with it.

9. When did you feel at your best in your life? What was that like for you? If you imagine the complete opposite of this feeling or moment, what would that be like?

When I started going out with my wife. i felt a lot more confident.
Opposite would be if I didn't have a relationship with someone who loved me.

10. Do you feel like you are stuck in a pattern of behavior, especially when trying to deal with your problems? What is this pattern?

Probably, it seems to take me a while to learn sometimes. Things don't seem to sink in, I forget easily.

11. What difficulties or problems do you have in relationships? Talk about your family, your romantic relationships, your spouse or partner, your friends, and your work colleagues. You may need to talk about all of these separately.

I feel my parents don't always keep to their word, I don't feel like I cant trust them completely. I feel they overstep boundaries a bit.
My siblings I feel are sometimes a bit disloyal.
I have been badly hurt by people i thought were loyal friends and so now feel unable to be completely open with friends.
I can't grasp how jealousy or insecurity can make people act in the negative the way it does. It just seems so foreign to me.
Im very happy in my relationship and but if another woman is attracted to me physically or wanted to sleep with me, the idea appeals to me, purely physically, i think because it makes me feel good about myself.

12. List 5 positive things about yourself. Are there any situations where this positive attribute becomes negative (is a problem)?

Easy to get along with-may get taken advantage of by certain types of people, seen as easy to influence.
good listener-can lose track of time
always give people time no matter how busy i am-yes it can cause me problems with time management and make me late
want to whats right-suffering for doing whats right
sensitive or gentle-impressionable, take it to heart, question self.

13. List 5 negative things about yourself. Are there any situations where this negative attribute becomes positive (is useful)?
procrastinate-yes, dont act hastily, don't say things that hurt people hastily
not punctual-
beat myself up over making a mistake, dont like to be to blame, in the wrong or make mistakes.
being so anxious about people knowing who I am/being seen. wanting anonimity.

14. Do you have any reoccurring dreams? Describe them in detail, including any feelings that come while dreaming.

Of a pet frog that i had, i forget to feed him and i find him dying of hunger. Ive been negletful of him. It makes me feel like a bad person.

15. Did you have any reoccurring dreams as a child, or earlier in your life? Describe those in detail including any feelings that came with them.

None that I remember.

16. What were you like as a child, your character, your personality, your fears, your dreams, your problems?

i was very shy and quiet, sensitive, would bottle up emotions. I was not taught to do things for myself or to give things a go if it was difficult. Felt this affected my confidence with accomplishing things. I loved to draw and drew well. My teachers always said I was easily distracted. I wet the bed for many years, until the beginning of puberty about 14 years old, which caused me alot of embarrassment and affected my self esteem. I would be on edge if I slept over at someones house. fought with my older sister alot. she often started fights, i would hit her and always seemed to be in more trouble for that than she was for initiating or antaganizing. I slept alot and heavily. I even fell out of a top bunk once and never woke up. My parents often carried me to and from the car asleep and did not stir.

17. What kind of environment did you grow up in? What problems where there at home, with your family, with your parents, with your siblings, with school?

As above in events that affected me. Otherwise I Grew up in a stable home with both parents. Parents cared for both grandmothers. I felt worried for one when she started to lose her mind, hallucinating and she was feeling very scared and not her normal self. I felt my parents didn't understand my tiredness or that they judged me perhaps as lazy. I felt they didnt probe me enough to find out about my problems.

Can I also ask your opinion about something? I recently read some information about the Sulphur type child. This struck me as SO much like our daughter. I filled in the online Remedy Finder for a couple of her recurrent problems and it turned up Sulphur as the remedy also. I read some more and I feel convinced enough to want to try it as she has so many of the symptoms and indications- regular recurrent itching anus despite worm treatment, skin rashes, loud, dominant, messy, hoarding nature, quick tempered, nose picker, hot clamy hands, recurring bad breath despite good oral hygiene and nutrition and probiotics just to name a few. I feel this one is worth a try. My question is,what potency would I use? thank you

hi, i know you are no doubt very busy and helping a lot of people on here. Was wondering if you have had a chance to look into this one yet? We really appreciate your time. Thank you

thank you shouse nsk, i appreciate your suggestion, and it is one we will consider, you may well be right. however i understand from your profile that you are interested in homeopathy. In this particular case I was after the input of a Dr or practitioner.

Thankyou

Thank you. We've ordered it in liquid 1 M but it will take a week and we are heading overseas today for 2 weeks so will report progress when we get back.

Would you believe that after returning home from overseas after 2 weeks they have forgotten to Order my husbands remedy. They have it in 200C in stock though. Should we wait for them to order or ok to use the 200? He was hoping to try it soon and it would mean waiting another week for the 1M.

Ok he has the 200c in liquid. We've actually found out our usual supplier can't get 1m at the moment anyway. So are the dosage instructions the same as you put above for the pillules? Putting in water etc?

Ok so just reporting back as my husband took the dose of the 200C as prescribed in water on Friday evening. All day Saturday he felt very lethargic and tired and felt some symptoms he will normally get when coming down with something, irritated nose (where he often gets a cold sore when sick), itchy irritated eyes. Today symptoms are still there but slightly better, he feels tired but what he describes as 'just normal tired'. (our 2 year old kept us awake a lot last night.)
Does he or when should he take another dose?

Ok thank you, will post back on friday then.

Hi, well husband has continued feeling generally very tired after taking the dose, worse than normal needing more sleep and unwell all this week. Cold sore on tip of nose and cold symptoms, congestion and a cough. Possibly he has a cold. it is unusual for him to get sick at all, especially as neither the children or myself have any signs of colds or virus. We are usually the ones to get sick.
Should we continue to wait to see if the symptoms die down?
