Dr.'s- Need help please!!! Don't know whats wrong with me!

Hi all, Im a 20yr. old african american male. I've had social anxiety for years now (good at hiding it) but in the past year the symptoms have been escalating more and more and now its turned into a nightmare to where I don't even want to leave the house anymore! It has stopped me from furthering my education or getting a stable job. I keep telling myself theres nothing to fear but it doesn't work. I'm always worried about what others think of me. I get a tightness in my stomach area almost all day even when alone in the house or going to sleep . Also, my mind gets really foggy and i have distorted thoughts, feels like my mind is preoccupied and that increases my anxiety. Even while writing this post it takes me a long time to think of what to write next. When in conversation with friends and family I can hardly focus and get really nervous and think they see me as weird. I tend to wander around in the house depressed and have no motivation to do anything. Also have insomnia now because of this and just lay on my bed for hours after waking up trying to force myself back to sleep (never works). I have no appetite anymore and just eat because I have to. Around others I tend to feel inferior and try to fight the anxiety but I just end up doing or saying something stupid and increasing it. I tend to cling to my brother and hate that I'm not as independent as him and feel as if I'm a burden to him. I've tried kava kava but got no relief from it. I dont want to try allopathic medicines since that has side effects. I've always been a positive optimistic person but this has put my life on standstill and I feel like I cant find an awnser to this problem and am stuck with this for life. If any doctors could help me out with my case I would greatly appreciate it as I feel this is my last hope!!

Dear vicas grower,

in response to your questions:

What according to u , can others possibily think about u .

I always worry about how I look in others eyes, like as if I have to be accepted or liked by them. I fear that friends see me as I'm different than them and less mature because Im still a virgin.

Is there a particular time about a day , when u feel worse as compared to rest of the day .

Usually upon waking up. its like i want to keep sleeping throughout the day and not do anything.

Do u like solitude

yes.

Are u comfortable with the people u know .

Not really, sometimes i feel like i have to put on an act to fit in with friends and family. Probably a reason why i prefer solitude now.

A little more about myself:
I had a pretty normal childhood (loving overprotective parents) except for the fact that I wet my bed till i was about 12 or 13. During my teenage years i was very self-conscious and shy but covered it up with humor. I've only had a relationship with one girl because i always felt insecure about my body (weight, penis size). I tend to be passive on my decisions and am more of a follower than a leader. Thats all i could think of that sticks out.

Zahid, I will look into getting the staphysagria. Are there any side effects to it?

Thank you all for your responses and help.

Zahid ,

Staphysagria person is very sensitive to what others say about him .

In this case Gus has this sensitivity but more in a imaginary sense , perhaps due to a very low self esteem and low confidence .

Gus

How do you find music , is it comforting to you .

As a child were u very shy and disliked to meet strangers .

U said u like solitude , but would u prefer a situation where there is (somebody known to u like family or good friend ) around u though not in direct presence of yours or u would still feel uncofortable .
 
vikas_grower last decade
Yes, music is very comforting to me and I hate that I cant remember songs anymore.

Actually as a child I was pretty carefree and liked to talk a lot and be around people. As I matured though I became more self-concsious and act how society expects.

Yes, I prefer solitude around family members I feel comfortable with but I still like to be in my room. Also, I like staying in the shower extra long with hot water.


I also wanted to add that sometimes my hands and feet stay cold even indoors in normal temperatures. I also procrastinate a lot on anything that has to get done.

Gus, you are so young and still full of so much life! I have hope in a full recovery for you. yes I believe that it could be a very big trial you are going through. We all have moments of insecurity especially in our youth and of course if a person did not grow up in a healthy functional family. How's your faith life? You might want to consult a minister or counseling and add daily prayer as a remedy and hope for healing. good luck to you. I will pray for you.
 
Eccomi last decade
Feeling weary of life. I feel like there's nothing for me to acomplish. also feel physically fatigue.

Thank you for your support Eccomi, I hope this is just a phase and I'll return to regular soon.

vicas grower, what do you recommend?
 
gtech last decade
Gus

Do u sweat more than usual , if yes which part u sweat the most .
 
vikas_grower last decade
Sometimes sweat more than usual in my armpits, also my feet if not covered.
 
gtech last decade
Actually, its not really more than usual, just when anxious or restless.
 
gtech last decade
Are you flatulent , do u feel any thing different ( say better or worse than the rest of day ) during evening say 4 pm to 8 pm
 
vikas_grower last decade
No, not that sticks out.
 
gtech last decade
Don't feel flatulent, but sort of constipated. Like I'll feel like I have to go, but when I get to the toilet, I have to force bowel movement. Also happens when urinating.
 
gtech last decade
Vikas, do you think i should hold off on the Staphysagria?
 
gtech last decade
Dear Gus ,

Hold on Staphysagria , please get Lycopodium 12 C and inform and do not take any dose on own .Please inform once u get it .
 
vikas_grower last decade
hi vikas,

I realized that I do feel flatulent and and thats a major reason why I cant sleep well. Feels like my stomach is bloated and I cant get comfortable in any position. Do you think that might be the reason behind the stomach tension? Also, do you think anti-gas medicine would help, even if temporarily. And should I still get the Lycopodium? I appreciate your help.
 
gtech last decade
Gus ,

Lycopodium helps in dealing with flatulence and also helps in restoring self confidence .

Gus do u feel socially uncomfortable because because u doubt your abilites or simply because due to the fact that u are a virgin .
 
vikas_grower last decade
Dear Gus

Please read about people who benefit from Lycopodium and see if it reflects your personality . If yes then go and get it and but dont take it as yet .


The Lycopodium Tug-of-War
With a glance at the Materia Medica of the Mind, one can see that this remedy appears to be under quite a lot of pressure. Caught in the middle of the Calcarea – Lycopodium – Sulphur triad, Lycopodium will be at tug-of-war between Calcarea and Sulphur, torn between the need for stability and protection on the one hand, and the need for self-image, self-confidence, and recognition on the other – to be recognized as an achiever, as someone important or worthy (Sankaran). It is interesting to note that Lycopodium (also called Vegetable Sulphur) likes and may even crave oysters, but gets sick upon eating them as they “seem poison” (Kent). This is synonymous with its aggravation regarding anything that concerns lack of power or lack of confidence (such as Calcarea). This remedy is described as being in “constant struggle” and in “constant tension between strengths and weaknesses, image and reality” (Coulter). It is nearly poetic that Lycopodium may present with one foot cold and the other warm, normal or even hot, further emphasizing that this remedy represents a skirmish between the traits and symptoms of Calcarea (chilly and cold) and Sulphur (hot and fiery). Lycopodium is “intellectual with self-distrust” (Tyler), whereas Sulphur is intellectual with overt trust of self, and Calcarea suffers with the intellect; Lycopodium has a keen intellect (Sulphur) but weak muscular power (Calcarea). Although Lycopodium is quite capable, there is a fear of failure and a lack of confidence to the degree that this type will fret and worry over completing a task (such as a public speech), only to pull through it without a problem (but never gain the confidence for the next time!).
Lycopodium may not readily demonstrate its lack of confidence since by adulthood it has generally covered this over with a type of puffed-up bravado or false presence of authority or supremacy; the type is described as arrogant, inclined to “tall talk”, and has a decided love of power (this suggests that Lycopodium is at first lacking in confidence and is more cowardly, and then develops into “love of power”). It is not surprising to find that Lycopodium types will be

equally “puffed up” with flatulence, suffering from a great amount of gas and “weakness of digestion” (Phatak) and is known as “one of the most flatulent” remedies – truly a remedy that is ‘full of wind.’ In fact, it is asserted that ninety-five percent of Lycopodium types will have gastro-intestinal disturbances. Lycopodium will tend to criticize, dominate, and even verbally abuse in order to elevate himself over others and may even seek out and surround himself with persons of lesser will in order to make himself ‘bigger’ or ‘taller’ – yet he will be subdued and cowardly when in the company of those with greater authority or status. This is not unlike the tiny plant that was once a great tree, only now is dwarfed by nearly all the plants around it, yet still “standing tall” over more diminutive flora. If Lycopodium marries, it will likely be to someone far more mild and yielding, or perhaps even chronically ill or weak in order that his will always prevail (Sankaran). Lycopodium is described as “Nice outside, tyrant at home” (Morrison).
Lycopodium dreads being alone, yet does not do well in company – one would find this type perfectly happy at home in a room by himself with people in the next room over (Tyler). He is averse to company, conversation, being in a crowd, or is anxious in these circumstances, suggesting that the rubric “Company, desire for, aggravated when alone” is really less about desiring company and much more about not wanting to be alone, or having a dread or fear of being alone. The symptoms of ‘cowardice’ and being ‘easily frightened’ support this idea, as does the rubric “desire to be carried” (which indicates a kind of need for support in the case of Lycopodium). In fact, just as the yellow powder of this remedy was once used to prevent pills from sticking together, Lycopodium wants nothing stuck to it – it wants to be dependent but wants no one to depend on him; it wants company, but does not want to interact; it fears and shuns responsibility and does not want to make a commitment in relationship (“flies from his children”). Just as the yellow powder flashes brightly when thrown into a fire, the type will often explode into rage and fury under pressure or when “faced with fire” (this type is inclined to be contradictory, yet hates being contradicted; “cannot bear to be corrected or found fault with or opposed”) and may “erupt into brilliant talk or blazing wrath” (Gibson).

Like the plant, Lycopodium types have the ability to adapt to many different environments without becoming affected by them (Coulter) and is described as having a “persevering manner”. This type refuses to engage – unable to admit being wrong or in defeat, it will simply walk away from a struggle without comment and can be depicted by others as obstinate or “pig-headed.” The type may also be very difficult to recognize (Tyler) and those needing the remedy may not demonstrate any of the symptoms of provings (Morrison), and in fact the main guidance to the remedy is said to be a “physical mediocrity associated with mental alertness and emotional diffidence” (Gibson) coupled with liver complaints and flatulence. Lycopodium has affects of all three miasms and being at a crossroads of sorts between the Animal Kingdom (Calcarea) and the Mineral Kingdom (Sulphur), this little member of the Plant Kingdom is inert and unassuming unless in potent form and remains inert “until the spores are crushed” (Boericke).
The ailments of the Lycopodium type will come on slowly and gradually, over a length of time. There may be jaundice, chronic hepatitis, and other ailments of the liver (the remedy is symbolically “yellow” in cowardice and will tend to “yellow” physical ailments (liver and urinary tract) as well as “yellow” mental ailments, such as claustrophobia, agoraphobia, and other expressions of great fear or anxiety (nightmares, ghosts, death, people, etc). He may have a yellowish or pale face with gray or blue under the eyes, and might present with yellow or brown spots on the skin (liver spots).
If it is not enough that Lycopodium is under these extreme struggles during the day, there seems no rest at night as indicated by the many rubrics dealing with waking, being in bed, mornings (is “ugly” on waking), and night, and there seems to be great potential for sleep-talking and sleep-walking. One finds in the repertory a presence of restlessness and nervousness, with anxiety (Kent):
• Loathing of life, on waking; in the morning.
• Unconsciousness while talking; somnambulism; bed, aversion to.
Copyright February 13, 2005 Page 3 of 6

Sympathetic – opposed by malicious.
• Unconscious, periodical; while standing.
• Restlessness, nervousness; in the morning; in the evening, in bed. At night; after midnight; driving out of bed; tossing about in bed.
• Fear on waking from a dream; fear while walking; Confusion of mind on walking, on waking; frightened easily on waking; Weary of life in the morning in bed; Quarrelsome, disputes with absent persons on waking.
• Anxiety, in the morning, on waking, in the afternoon, in the forenoon, in the evening, in bed, at night, on waking, before midnight, in bed, with fear, about salvation, on going to sleep, during sleep, while walking in open air.
Sleep will tend towards dreams, nightmares, and a sense of being suffocated or suppressed, or somehow held back. Lycopodium wakes from sleep “cross, ugly, and depressed.”
Lycopodium can be quite grateful and moved to tears under circumstances of being thanked or appreciated and can be quite sensitive (which can be countered with haughty insolence and a contemptuous attitude.). This type is also imaginative, and once finally committed will remain committed out of a sense of duty or responsibility; Lycopodium may also be “noticeably conscientious and orderly” as well as intellectually active (and finds relief in action) and could demonstrate quite a fondness for sugar and sweets (Gibson).
Some of the mentals exhibited (again, these may be deeply hidden and difficult to see in a patient):
Cowardice; Frightened Easily; Confidence, want of self – opposed by defiance, love of power, presumptuous; Haughty; Insolent.
Cheerfulness; Liveliness, mirth, hilarity; playful; laughing; thoughtful – opposed by repulsive mood, rage, fury; Suspicious, Contemptuous; Censorious, critical; avarice.
Cheerful, gay, happy – opposed by abusive, anger, irascibility: with silent grief, from contradiction; violent, vehement.

It is littl f trying to dominate (love of power) as opposed to
gain
Irresolution – opposed by dictatorial.
e wonder with the stress and tension o
being dominated (cowardice) and such aggravated sleep, Lycopodium may eventually decline to having difficulty with concentration and focus (also contrasted by clarity and the ability to be productive.). There may be mistakes in writing, omitting of words or letters, difficulty with names. There is a “fear of the future” and a “fear of being able to reach his destination,” aemphasizing Lycopodium’s lack of confidence and anxiety as an impact on his desires to achieve or be recognized.

Vikas, I definitely can relate to most of the symptoms described. I will get the lycopodium asap.

No, I don't doubt my abilities. Actually I've always thought I could be and do anything (academically,mentally) but its like I would be afraid of being an overachiever. It sounds stupid but it's the only way I could explain it.

Get Lycopodium 30c instead of Lycopodium 12c.
 
vikas_grower last decade
hi vikas,

i got the lycopodium 30c. now how should i go about taking it?
 
gtech last decade
Lycopodium is a deep acting remedy , it is to be taken once and its action lasts 30 to 40 days . Hence i repeat it is to be taken once . If this is the medicine then some effect will be noticed in first few days .

In case this does not turn out to be the right remedy no change will be observed but we have to wait at least for a week before we come to a conclusion .






You will have to strictly avoid coffee , perfumes /body sprays at least for initial 10 days after taking the medicine . Even if it is difficult this has to be followed .No flexibilty around this for at least the first ten days otherwise the action of the medicine will get masked .



Dissolve 2 pellets ( or pour 2 drops of liquid )of Lyco 30c in a 250 ml spring water bottle. Allow the pellets to dissolve on their own which takes some time . You can shake it gently after they have dissolved.

(Before putting the pellets or drops of LYCO. in the bottle of spring water , please discard from this bottle as much water so that only around 120-150 ml water remains . Then put the pellets or the drops of the medicine )

Take a capful from this bottle 3 times in one day, spaced by 45 minutes .

This is to be done for one day ONLY. No repetition of the medicine .



(After u have taken the dose do not throw the bottle , add around 50 ml of brandy or pure alcohol to it and preserve it because in case if u receive benefit this can be used for dose repitition at a later date )

Restrictions:

1/. Nothing should enter the mouth for 40 minutes prior to, or after taking the remedy.
2/. Do not touch the tablets with your hands, tip them into the cap of the container they came in and then into the water .
3/. Avoid coffee, tea (including green), and other sources of caffeine such as some fizzy drinks and large amounts of chocolate.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT .
4/. Avoid wearing perfume/aftershave, or exposure to anything with a strong smell while under treatment. This includes any and all essential oils, and incense.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT .
5/. Avoid the consumption of excessively spicey foods
6/. The use of medicinal herbs, either as 'teas' or supplements should be avoided during Homoeopathic treatment, as should the use of over the counter medication, unless this has been recommended by an MD.
7/. Nothing of a medicinal nature should be applied to the skin

Please also remember as explained that the 3 doses has to be taken once .

No homeopathic medicine should be repeated until the reaction to the initial dose

Well if the remedy selected is ok then the first sign of improvement will noticed in the first few days .



.

Vikas,
