The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Dr. Evocationer please help me enjoy life again

I am a 32 year old female and for the last few months I have been very tired, no energy, similar to how I felt during my pregnancy (I have not been getting enough sleep due to young baby, and have been very stressed over his health problems). More concerning than the tiredness though is my extreme irritability. I am living my dream life at the moment yet I cannot enjoy it, I am constantly exhausted and irritable, I yell and get angry over the smallest things. I feel horrible as soon as I do it but I can't seem to be able to control myself. I feel constantly overwhelmed. Please let me know what other info I need to provide.

HOW TO DESCRIBE YOUR COMPLAINTS (Physical Components)

In homoeopathy, prescription is based on precise details of various symptoms from which you suffer. To tell or write to a homoeopathic physician 'I have a headache ', ' an eruption ' or “a cough” would not be enough. If you inform him 'I have headache with sharp shooting pains in the left side of the head and temple, these pains always come on when the slightest cold air strikes the head. I feel better by pressing the head very hard.” Then only you have given all the information required for making a good homoeopathic prescription. The success of the prescription depends; largely on how detailed your description of the symptoms is.
We require the following details about your symptoms.

LOCATION: Please give the exact location of sensation, pain or eruption. Also describe where the pain or sensation spreads.

SENSATION: Express the type of sensation or the pain that you get in your own words however simple or funny it may seem. You may have a sensation that a mouse is crawling or the heart was grasped by an iron hand or you may have a pain that is cutting, burning jerking, pressing. Express the sensation or pain as it feels to you. Try to explain the whole sensation in the exact way it is happening and not just the word. We need to understand the whole process of the sensation as it is happening to you.

WHAT MAKES YOU WORSE OR BETTER:

Many factors are likely to influence your complaint. Some factors may intensify it and some factors may relieve the trouble. A detailed list of the factors is given at the end. Please refer it while describing each of your troubles and indicate which factors make the complaint better or worse.

DISCHARGES: You may have a discharge from nose, ears, mouth, eyes, ulcers, fistula, eruptions on skin, private parts, etc. Please describe your discharge in detail including colour, consistency, appearance, odour etc.

1] Your Complaint:

(Use your own words as far as possible, but if you have recognized or diagnosed the condition, give this information also.) By answering as many of these questions as fully as possible, you are helping me to understand what your body and unconscious mind is conveying. This can help me find a remedy for you.)
• What is your complaint?
• When did the complaint begin?
• Where is it located?
• What sort of sensations (and emotions) do you associate with it?
When does it tend to occur (time/day)
• Does anything make it better or worse?
• How does it bother you? How is it coming in way of your day-to-day life?
• How does it feel like to have this/these problem/s?
• What is the effect of this/these problem/s on you?
• Did any event happen which caused the complaint? Describe the emotion associated with it.
• What are the other symptoms started with it, esp. mental and physical symptoms, which are not directly related to the main complaint.
• What are your reactions with it?

PLEASE ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS FOR EACH SYMPTOM/COMPLAINT SEPARATELY. DO NOT INCLUDE ALL OF YOUR COMPLAINTS TOGETHER IN EACH QUESTION eg. all questions answered for Leg Pain, then same questions answered for Migraines, then same questions answered for Panic attacks etc.

Thank you for the thorough guidelines.
The things that bother me the most are clutter/messy house and the kids fussing. Crying is fine, but the needy, just want to be picked up but I'm still not going to be happy in your arms fussiness while I am trying to get something done, like prepare a meal, or when my almost 4 year old sits there and whines instead of trying to solve whatever problem he has, or expressing his frustration in words. I feel like there are always too many things that need to be done, and there is never any time because the kids always fuss and whine and I can't get anything done because of it. Husband works long hours and and most days I don't even get half an hour to catch up on what I need to do, so it feels like I'm always behind in all the house work. So whining anytime and fussing from the baby when I am busy, and a messy house and no time are my maincomplaints. Whining bothers me because it's repetitive and drawn out and doesn't solve the problem. After about 2 minutes I feel my anxiety rising really fast and I start feeling like I'm a volcano ready to erupt, my heart beats faster, and I take shallow breaths. The fussiness when I'm busy bothers me because I know just picking him up for a minute will not make him happy and usually I am hungry and trying to make food, or its late and I need to get my older son fed so he can go to bed, etc. It's whenever there's something that I need to get done and the baby won't let me. The messy house, I think the main reason it bothers me is I can't find any room like on counters when I'm cooking, or on the table, or I'm tripping on toys, and then the visual, we have a nice house and I'd like to keep it neat but I just can never catch up, and whenever I finally do, something happens, we have a busy weekend and can't keep up with it and fall behind again. The most troublesome emotion is the anger, that feeling that I am going to explode, that iI need to let it out somehow. I usually end up yelling, and as soon as I start I instantly regret it, feel horrible about it, and try to apologize and explain that I am not feeling good that's why I'm cranky. The next troublesome feeling is always being tired and exhausted, no energy. My naturopath said I have adrenal fatigue, put me on B vitamins and told me to stop drinking coffee. The pills help some, but not nearly enough, I feel d constantly drained. When I used to drink half a cup of coffee in the morning and one in the afternoon I felt great, but then I would have a hard time falling asleep early enough to get a good night sleep, and I would be even more tired the next day. The next troublesome feeling is that I feel like I don't have the time and energy to give the kids and my husband the individual attention they need. I think of this as soon as everyone is asleep, and look back on the day and realize I didn't get anything done, and I didn't get to play much with the kids, or show husband my love for him in any way. Fears/phobias. I use to have a bird phobia, birds, chickens, etc, the thought of their wings touching me feltlike a horrible nightmare. It has gotten better, iI can walk into an aviary now. I still get anxiety and don't want them touching me but I can make myself do it. I am also deathly afraid of cliff like high areas. Any high place that doesn't have a railing my feet get tingly and weak and I get dizzy and feel like I will fall just because I can't control my body. I am also afraid of dark, I would never walk in the dark woods, or go swimming in a lake or ocean after dark. Even in the house, late at night if by myself, I start thinking about supernatural entities (ghosts if you will), just something about the night and dark makes me uneasy. I am also afraid of losing one of the kids or my husband (not a debilitating fear, just in the back of my mind). I also get anxiety in the city, traffic, crowded neighborhoods. I am also claustrophobic, don't like small spaces, I could never crawl under our house to check the AC unit for example. I manage my fears through prayer usually. The bird phobia, if I saw a bird flying towards me I would duck out of the way. The worst situation would be being stuck In a cage with birds or chickens flying all around me. For the cliff, the worst is anarrow, wet trail that winds aaround a mountain with a sheer cliff on one side and a vertical rock wall on the other. I would handle it by not going and if I had to I would crawl for more stability. For the claustrophobia, I justddon't go in small spaces like that, I feel like I couldn't breath if I did. Worst would be a mine tunnel just big enough to fit my body but without being able to turn back, and the tunnelnarrowing. For darkness my biggest ffear is in the water touching a dead body (that is actually a fear in any water that I can't see throigh). It the dark woods it would be something jumping out in front of me. In the house it would be hearing or seeing stuff moving. I manage those fears through prayer and trying to distract myself so I don't think about it. When Iused to live alone iI always slept with the TV on and lights on in the whole house. The city is just mild anxiety, no need to manage, I don't even realize I have it until I drive back out of the city and feel myself relax. Losing my family, I just pray. Biggest fear is waking up to check on the baby and finding him dead, or older son getting kidnapped, or getting a call that husband was in a car accident and didn't make it. Hobbies: I used to live scuba diving. It was very relaxing on all the different senses, the sound of the bubbles, the motion of the water current, the weightlessness, watchingthe fish, feeling like iI am emerged in a different world. I also used to love snowboarding in fresh powder, while listening to mmusic, I like that I am able to control my body and it feels like I am floating through the soft snow. I also like wake boarding, feeling the wind in my face, controlling my body and going up and down the wake. I still enjoy boating and riding 4 wheelers, and love roller-coaster, the thrill of the speed, wind in my face. I pretty much annoy anything outdoor, hikes, playing in the waves in the ocean, relaxin on the beach or in our yard, but I never get to do most of these things anymore. So for the last couple of years it has been beach days with the family, and watching movies at home with the husband because of having kids too young for that stuff and limited time and money. Persistent thoughts are my inability to give my family the attention they all need, I feel like I am pulled in too many directions, and I am unable to satisfy any of them, and the fear of losing them. Noninusial gestures, just usually frowning. Unusual sensations, the feeling like I am going to explode when I hear whining. With cliffs I get the tingling and weakness and dizziness. With the rest I feel my heart beating faster. With the thought of losing my family I get a sinking feeling,like imI'm falling in a black deep whole backwards and there's nothing I can do about it. The best I felt about 6 months ago. The kids and I had been at grandma's in a cold harsh winter for 5 months. They we came back to a brand new, gorgeous house the husband had bought for us, in the perfect location, and the weather was perfect, warm and sunny but not hot. We were spending a lot of time outsideeveryday and sun always makes me feel good. I get depressed and tired and ccranky when I don't get enough son, and the last 3 months it has been too hot to be outside during the day so I know I am son deprived. The opposite of that would be being alone I solitary confinement in prison, without access outside. So 6 months ago, I felt happy, full. Of energy, always smiling, excited. The pattern of behavior is on the weekends when husband is home we are always doing stuff from the moment we wake up until late at night and have no time to keep up with the house work then Tuesday when he goes back to work I am overwhelmed and frustrated. In relationships I feel like I am not able to show my love the way I should. Will continue in a few minutes

Difficulties I have in relationships. With my husband I feel like I can't show him how much I love him the way he needs to see it. His love languages are words of affirmation and physical touch. I am really bad at both of those. As a child my parents taught me words don't mean anything, you show love thru actions, and that a guy always goes after the girl, girls should not make moves on guys. So it's hard for me to initiate intimacy, and I feel weird trying to describe to him how much I love him in words. I also (wrongly) expect him to know what need done instead of asking for help, and then get frustrated when he doesn't help. With the kids, I had a pretty difficult childhood without a lot of play, so I am not very good at being playful, it's easier for me to act as a drill sergent (i don't actually do it, I work really hard to control myself, but that is my natural tendency) than a playful parent. I also like things done my way and get frustrated when they are not. I don't have many friends because I am really bad at keeping in touch with people. 5 positive things: hard working, dedicated, always looking to improve efficiency and processes, like learning new things, detail oriented. All these qualities can also be bad when taken too far, and oftentimes they are. Hard working, I always give 110 % and don't take any time for myself, and end up tired and burnt out, and take it out on the loved ones. Also since I works so hard, I expect everyone else around me to do the same (unrealistic expectation of course) and get frustrated when they don't. Same with dedicated, since I chose to devote 100% of my time to the family, if someone else decided to take on personal projects I would feel like it's unfair. Looking to improve efficiency, I tent to micromanage everyone, because I put so much thought into what the best way is to do even the simplest task. Enjoy learning new things, can be bad because once I master something, I lose interest for the most part. Detail oriented, I feel like whenever someone else does something like cleaning, it's never good enough, so I tent to take on too much and try to do it all myself and then end up overwhelmed. Also when I start cleaning, I can't just do a quick job, to make the house look nice. I get lost in the details and have to do everything perfectly, and by the time I am done with the last room, the rest of the areas need cleaning again, so I always feel like I can't catch up.
5 bad things: I snap easily, if husband says something derogatory, or yells, I can't control myself enough to say 'hey please don't talk that way, that hurt my feelings' instead I snap and yell back. The good thing is I get over it quickly, I never hold grudges. I have kind of a boring personality, the good thing is it doesn't clash with other people's big personalities. I don't like talking very much. Again, it allows other people to have the floor so to speak. I am bad at picking up after myself, I tend to start another project before I clean up the previous one.
One recurring dream is that I marry a guy, but after I kind of remember that I a already married to someone from long time ago, who is not in the picture anymore. It makes me feel confused, scared, worried When I was a kid I used to have a dream that he elevator in our apartment building would stop half way to my floor and when the doors opened I could see a smashed bloody body stuck to the bottom of the elevator. Also one about a mean witches chasing me, and one about falling back words into a black abyss, and one about mean wolves under my bed. I would wake up frightened a lot as a child, it was so bad that I actually learned how to control my dreams, after waking up scared I would allow myself to go back to sleep and inevitably the same dream would continue, but now I would control it like a video game and face my fear, say Ok witch, I'm not running anymore, what are you going to do to me? Kill me? Go ahead, and they never would, I would just go into a nice dream. Eventually it got to where I could control it in my sleep without waking up. As a child I was quiet and shy, liked playing by myself, when around other kids I felt like they knew more than me, usually felt inferior in the social aspect. In school I worked really hard to Excell and I did well, but because of it I had no childhood, always worried about my grades, no time to play. I still have recurring dreams now in my 30s about a teacher from grade school calling on me toys recite what I had studied, and I was not prepared, so I fee imense stress. As I got into my adolescent years we moved to the US where the language and the culture were foreign to me and my shyness became 100 fold. I would turn bright red and start sweating whenever anyone said anything to me, good or bad. It was very very embarrassing. Also I felt like I never fitted in with anybody, yet I was self conscious about being seen alone, so I would try to hide. I ended up working hard and graduating a year and a half early because it was such a miserable experience, I just wanted it to be over. A far as environment I grew up in, I had 2 loving parents who did the very best they could. Dad was always busy working 2 jobs and we never had much money, he was always saving for something, and I felt deprived, that I couldn't have the things my friends had. He also had really bad anger problems, would be really scary when he got mad at me, I felt like he was going to kill me, he didn't hit me or anything, he just looked like he was struggling to contain his anger so I was worried he might lose it. Mom was very nurturing, but we always got into yelling matches, they were very intense but short lived, and we would be best friends again minutes later, drove my dad insane that we were always yelling, but didn't really bother us. As I got older I felt horrible every time I would yell at her, but never really knew how to apologize. We never said I'm sorry or I love you growing up. Then when we moved to the states I was the only one who spoke English so I was in charge of everything, I had to grow up overnight and learn how to run a household and then try to teach my parents how to survive in this new world. So they were very dependant on me, and my dad never showed his anger again. As a child he also got angry at my MO. A few times and I remember being afraid he was going to kill her, although he never hit her. He also would get frustrated with things and smash themto pieces and that was kind of scary. I was always afraid of being alone even in the day time. I would hear a noise in he apartment and become terrified and hide in my bed with my head under the pillow and stay there until I fell asleep until my parents parents got home. Problem at school was teachers were very biased and corrupt. The kids whose parents brought gifts for the teachers, would always get good grades even if they didn't deserve them, or were allowed to cheat, while the rest of us got mediocre to bad grades even though we had worked hard to prepare and did a good job. So I always felt like it was very unfair, and felt frustrated and at the same time felt like I needed to work that much harder to not embarrass myself, because they didn't use tests, usually they would call on a child to stand up and recite whatever they had studied. It was very scary and embarrassing.

Answers to the 'general symptoms'
I like sleeping half way on my tummy, with one get up. I don't like sleeping straight on my back. If I drink any coffee after 4 pm I have a hard time falling asleep. If I get woken up I have a hard time going back to sleep, it has gotten a lot better though since I gave up Cofee.
Appetite. I rave meat, if I don't have some kind of meat with my meal I feel unsatisfied and hungry again very soon. After the second baby I have been craving sweets a lot but that seems to have gotten a lot better in the last month or so. Lately I have been craving cheese. I am not crazy about raw veggies, but I eat them fine, I don't really have any food aversions. Potatoes make me bloated and gassy. I haven't noticed any foods that have beneficial effects. If I go hungry I get very very cranky, and sometimes I ee like I am going to faint.
Drinks I don't really like drinking water, I have to force myself. I love drinking milk and crave it (but don't do it very much). I also crave a cold beer every now and then, it doesn't even have to be alcoholic, just the taste and the fizz. A few times a year I crave coke (soda). I don't like drinking very sweet juices like fruit punch. I am ways thirsty in the evening, not usually thirsty in the morning.
No problems with stools. Usually brown, long and smooth, normal stool smell. Every now and then is more yellowish and softer, to where it comes out in one piece but becomes mush in the toilet water.
Urine no problems, usually dark yellow because I don't drink enough water. No smell, no sediment.
No sweat problems, if Hot, allover, no sailing on clothes.
Sexuality, sore if it goes on for too long (more than 10-15 min) or if more than once a day, but I am breastfeeding which causes low estrogen. Before the kids I didn't have any problems.
Menses, none currently due to breastfeeding. Usually regular, light, lasts 5 days, abdominal cramps before and sometimes during.
Environment. I am very weather sensitive. Cloudy weather makes me tired and depressed, I have a hard time functioning. High barometric pressure makes me feel like I can't breath. If I don't see sun for a while I get depressed. When I go out in the sun I get instantly happy and energized, unless it's really hot. I don't tolerate heat well, I feel like I am going to faint. I hate the feeling of rain drops on my skin. Strong wind also makes me very uncomfortable, to the point that I don't want to be outside I feel great after exercising, especially weight training. I don't like running. Love cardio kick boxing work outs. Love yoga. But have not exercised in a few years due to young kids always needing me. I am allergic to dust, do and cats. They make me sneeze and itchy eyes and after prolonged exposure I get asthma. Oatmeal without exposure. I didn't have this problem until I was 21. I believe taking the flu shot might have caused it. As far as symptoms that bother me most, as mentioned in the original post main one is not being able to control my anger, tiredness, no energy, I am usually fine for a couple hours in the morning, then i get really tired and drained of all energy, and it lasts all day. Then around 9 it gets really bad to where I have a hard time keeping my eyes open, then after the kids are asleep I get a second wind and feel great, but have to force myself to go to sleep so I can wake up in the morning. Also I have noticed I don't have any patience, and with young kids it's a big problem. Please help, I hope I are answered all the questions

I missed this post. I will put it to the top of my list of cases to work on.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
Thank you very much

Actually I *had* started work on your case - I have a whole page of rubrics already. I must have been interrupted and did not get back to it. I will continue to work on this today.
 
Evocationer 9 years ago
This is an interesting case. You are an extremely high level phobic. Your fears have many branches, and have grown quite profusely over the years it seems.

If I look purely through those fears, the two remedies that seem most indicated are Phosphorous or Stramonium. Each of them could be argued for, but then I had a look over the general state you present with outside of this phobic state.

There was something interesting you said about how you interact with your family - like a drill officer. That grabbed my attention. In the repertory we can translate that into:

Delusion being a commander/being an officer

Dictatorial talking with an air of command

This highlights the following remedies:

Agar, Arn, Bell, Cann-i, Cupr, Cupr-acet, Cupr-fl, Cupr-p, Dulc, Falco-pe, Lyc, Phos, Ruta, Spong

Only Cannabis indica and Cuprum metallicum are contained in both of these.

I then refined my view through these rubrics:

Anger at trifles
Rage violent
Reproaching oneself
Anxiety of conscience
Fastidious
Serious
Remorse
Aversion to playing

I can then add to this:

Anxiety in paroxysms
Palpitations with anxiety
Fear of the dark
Fear of losing self-control
Fear in high places
Fear something horrible will happen

This actually points clearly to one remedy - Cuprum metallicum.

The profile of this remedy shows these characteristics:

Emotionally and mentally cramped or tense
Always busy, desire to finish their work
Very respectful of rules, angry when others don't follow them
Strong sense of responsibility, aware of their duty
Fastidious in his work, conscientious
Hard worker, very active, never has time to rest or relax; has many activities, very organized; works so hard, strong desire to finish the tasks at hand
Hard on himself and hard on others
Reluctant to ask for help
Fear of accidents
Fear of losing control, fear of the dark, fear of water
Very sensitive to injustice
Ailments from mental or physical exhaustion, loss of sleep, overexertion
Burned out, Lassitude
Very closed, suppressed feelings
Feelings feel cramped inside, hard to release them, instead they come out as spasmodic anger or weeping
Not wanting to play, however more playful at night

So, I think I would like you to try Cuprum metallicum 200c. I would seriously consider Cuprum phosphoricum as well if Cuprum doesn't perform too well. Obtain an oral liquid dose if possible.

If you instead have pillules or pellets, you will need a small bottle and a dropper to make your own liquid dose. Mix water and alcohol into this small bottle to the ratio of 5:1. Dissolve 3 pillules/pellets into this bottle. All doses will be made from this bottle.

If you already have a liquid dose just start from step 1.

1. Hit the bottle 5 times firmly against the palm of the hand

2. Place 3 drops into 100mls of clean fresh water

3. Stir very thoroughly

4. Take 2 teaspoons out into the mouth and hold for 20 seconds, then swallow.

This is one dose and the same steps should be taken for any further doses, unless I ask you to change them in some way.

If any old symptoms reappear, or any current symptoms worsen, this is a GOOD sign in most cases. DO NOT SUPPRESS them with other kinds of medication unless you are in real danger (which is a highly unlikely reaction to a remedy).

However, if you are on regular medication it is also important that you do NOT stop taking this. Once it is determined the medicine has acted beneficially, we can look at reducing such medication if safe to do so.


I want you to take one dose only to begin with and we can assess the results after a week.

thank you very much, I will order the liquid remedy. I am not on any medications, used to be on prozac 5 years ago before having kids but have been an pharmaceutical free as possible since then. The description of the Cuprum Metallicum you have provided sounds very accurate. Just thinking about and answering all those questions was pretty therapeutic in itself, very insightful questionaire, thank you
