Mental symptoms
I expect too much of myself so I’m never good/smart/pretty/kind/etc. enough. I’m always regretting what I said or did.
I believe I want something badly but then I change my mind. I’m very confused about what I want from life. My self-esteem depends on successes/ failures. I don’t want to be a burden
If I had a lot of energy I would really be happy: I could get more done and exercise (which makes me feel good).

I’m sorry for so many words but maybe this can be of help.

P.S. I have been hospitilized for depression 4 times (once for attempted suicide), have undergone electroconvulsive therapy and taken more than 20 different types of antidepressants. I have also consulted 3 homeopaths in the past but didn’t benefit at all.

What date the last period completed?

Please stop all remedies and get hold of Pulsatilla 30C asap.

Many prayers for you.

Dear Nawaz,

Thank you for your advice. I need to order pulsatilla 30ch.
As for period, I can't remember last date. I got period yesterday but I usually feel better emotionally. I keep on crying at the least sad thought and feel as if somebody I love has just died. And I am nauseous if I put head up quickly. At least swelling and pain of breasts has reduced.
A few days after end of period, I get some white leucchorrea and sad mood again.
I'll let you know when I've taken first dose.

Kind regards

" I need to order pulsatilla 30ch. "
Good. But, start taking after the current period is completely over.

Is there any pain right now?

What are the other issues right now?
 
nawazkhan 8 years ago
Dear Nawaz,
Thank you for your quick reply. Mood is better now. No pain related to menses but I seem to be having hot flushes all day that last about 5 minutes and are distressing. I have had them for a few months but frequency is increasing now.
In addition I need to take deep breaths independently from flushes.

Thank you again for your support.

Kind regards

Hi, You are welcome. Please take a strong dose of patience with bravery. Let the mother nature's process complete. Then, start taking Pulsatilla 30C as suggested.

More prayers for you.

9. Since how long are you suffering from each complaint?
Constipation, heavy perspiration= all my life. --- Rheumatic pains around hips and buttocks=10 years (maybe due to slipped disk/hernia left side back)------Pmdd (?)= 2 years'.

Also my stomache is distended above all, after eating.

As for mental symptoms, I'm very depressed even though i am taking antidepressants. I feel there is no point in living because i am unhappy with the way i am.

In addition, i have Insomnia si i need to sleep in the afternoon.


Is Pulsatilla my constitutional remedy or simply a 'layer of the onion' of my personality'?
When can i start taking it?

Thank you for your help and guidance.

Dear Nawaz,
I started taking pulsatilla last Friday so today is third day.
I'm not sure I have felt anything. I usually sneeze when I react to a remedy but I didn't this time. Maybe constipation has lessened.
Shall I continue until day 5?

Thank you very much.
Best regards

"Shall I continue until day 5?
"
Yes

What are the current Mind symptoms?
 
nawazkhan 8 years ago
Dear Nawaz,
Thank you for your reply.
As for mental symptoms, they are the same. I feel like resting on my bed all day, have little energy, and feel hopeless that I will ever feel better.

In the late evening I tend to feel less pessimistic. But basically, I hate myself and my life.

I really hope pulsatilla will help me.
I will let you know how I am in 2 days.

Best regards

Hello again Nawaz,

Thank you. I just wanted to add another mental symptom: I envy my sister because she has a 'normal' life and is joyful. So I want to know why I'm the unhappy sister. I don't deserve it. It's not fair!

Best regards

Hi,

Please go ahead and buy Apis Mel. 200C asap.

Many prayers for you.
 
nawazkhan 8 years ago
Hello Nawaz,
I am interested in homeopathy and read about the different remedies.
I noticed I have a lot of symptoms related to pulsatilla and some to nux vomica.
However as for Apis Mel. I don't see symptoms in common.
Could you kindly explain them briefly? I'm interested in knowing why you chose that remedy.

Thank you and best regards
