This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Please describe your mental state in more detail without using a questionnaire.

Also, talk about the episode during your pregnancy which aggravated things in greater detail. Any bitter feelings/resentment for anyone ?

Hi Sameer,

First of all thanks a ton for taking out some time for me. I am really grateful.

Would try to put across my mental state:

During the last stages of my pregnancy had an altercation within the family which actually didnot have anything to do with me but was about my sister-in-law.

Due to which just after my delivery I had to stay away from my husband and was staying with my parents.

During those tough days when I needed the most care I was left alone without any support from my in-laws and had to stay without my husband.

That was a very tough and emotionally disturbing time for me. I felt betrayed by every body whom I trusted.

Its been almost 4+ years since then and living with my in-laws now and when you look over the top life seems to be going fine. But still when ever I have even a small dispute with my husband or in-laws all those memories refresh in my mind instantaneously.

I am still not able to get over with what ever happened during that phase.(bitter feeling for my in-laws and some times husband too)

Since my childhood I have always felt like a neglected child. I always feel that people use and throw me and feel betrayed by any one whom I trust. I don't understand why people are so artifical.

This could be due the fact that I try to give 100% in every relationship and expect the same from people.

Currently a few major points that I would like to put across:

- I get annoyed, angry and upset very easily.
- Don't want to meet and talk to friends.
- I prefer to stay alone.
- Too much of mood swings.
- Breakdown very easily.
- Go down to analyze things and statements very deply.
- Feeling that I am not taking care of my daughter properly.

Hope this would help. If you need any more info please do let me know.

Once again would like to really thanks you for all your time and effort.

Did you or do you tend to suppress a lot of anger ?

Do you ever experience trembling from emotions ?

What is your response to consolation or sympathy ?

Also, talk about your fears, if any.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer,

Thanks for your response.

Did you or do you tend to suppress a lot of anger ?

I get angry easily and suppress my anger very often. This has been happening pre-marriage and continuing till now. I cannot react to situations coz earlier I was the youngest in the family and here I am the 'daughter-in-law' so as per the 'tradition' am not supposed to be showing my anger to any one. I do burst out, but thats a very rare case, when the situations are beyond my tolerance level.

Do you ever experience trembling from emotions ?

Yes I do. And the trembling can be felt even on my face.

What is your response to consolation or sympathy ?

It really makes me feel very good. I also feel good if some body listens to my problems. I open my heart out in front of anybody who is sympathetic towards me.

Also, talk about your fears, if any.

I am always worried about my health and fearful if some thing happens to me who is going to take care of me and my family.

Hope that helps.

Please take 3 doses of Staphysagria 30c equally spaced by 30 mins to be taken FOR ONE DAY ONLY as below.

Dissolve 2 drops of Staph 30c in a 250 ml spring water bottle. If you leave the pellets in water for 30 mins, they will melt. You can turn the bottle upside down a few times for the pellets to spread after dissolving.

1 teaspoon from here using a disposable spoon is 1 dose.


Let me know in 7 days after the 3 doses. I look forward to your response.

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, except where this would cause a drastic change in consumption

Hi Sameer,

I started the medicine on 13/02/2009 9:30 AM IST.

After about 4-6 hours from then I am feeling too much sleepy. I used to feel lousy and sleepy earlier also but now its like I want to wake up but am not able to.

Am also having a slight headache which started about 18 hours after taking the medicine.

Just wanted to report this to you and check if its normal.
 
hypoindia last decade
It is possible.

Please wait as planned.
 
sameervermani last decade
Day 1
=====
Felt nothing specific

Day 2
====
Headache and high drowsiness started from evening and persisted till day 2.

Day 3
=====
Headache, drowsiness increased, and uneasiness also started. Was also feeling a little angry. Was feeling like I am unconscious.

Day 2 and Day 3: Would have slept for around 14-16 hours; had bad dreams about the past incidents. Was feeling sleepy but was afraid to sleep due to the dreams.

Day 4
====
Woke up fresh in the morning, had no headache and drowsiness. Was feeling a lot better, active and energetic. Finished off a few long pending tasks.

Day 5
====
Nothing specific, but just a feeling that the world is a little better place. Took a little extra care of my daughter. Enjoyed the company of my family.

Day 6 and Day 7
============
Nothing specific to mention.

General Observation: Day 1 to Day 3 felt like medicine has aggravated the situations. From Day 4 to Day 7 things seemed to come back to normal like they were even before taking the medicine. Can say that the things have improved about 5 to 10% on an overall basis.

Please advise the next course of action.
 
hypoindia last decade
Please wait for 5 more days to see if you get further benefit.
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer,

Sorry for the delay in posting the updates.

A few observations/updates since the last post:

Mouth gets so dry that it’s even difficult to open it some times. This problem increases during the night. Drinking a lot of water also does not helps too much. Feel too thirsty during nights.

Since last four days have pain in gums and burning sensation in the gums on touching. The problem has improved during the last two days.

Not getting those bad dreams now for the last 4-5 days.

The restlessness and the uneasiness after waking up from the morning or afternoon sleep has also improved.

Please advise the next course of action.

Hi,

What is the status on the following :

'Helplessnes, depression, mood swings, prefer to stay alone, low self confidence, emotional breakdown '

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer,

Am a little confused on this.

When every thing in the family is going smoothly, I feel a lot better. This has been the case earlier also.

But whenever there is a debate or a situation in the family all these feeling come to the forefront.

I feel a very slight improvement in all these things but would reiterate that if even a small thing happens in the family, I feel every thing come back to square one.

Would also like to add here that I still get headache some times.

Another thing to add here - I have started forgetting things. Like depositing the salary cheque, going to the market but forgetting to buy some thing important. This used to happen very occasionally earlier, but now the frequency has increased.

Am sorry if I am sounding confused.

Regards

Hi,

What time of the day do you feel at your best and what time of the day do you feel at your worst ?


Also, are you over-burdened with domestic responsibility ?

Any aversion to responsibility in general ?

When you say, you tremble, is it primarily from suppressed anger or from any emotion in general ?

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
How do feel after exertion or exercise ?
 
sameervermani last decade
Exertion : I get exerted very quickly. Even climbing up 40 stairs makes my breathing heavy. While am exerted I get angry and upset very easily.

Exercise : Don't indulge into it too often. But when ever I do it I really feel great. But even after that generally don't feel like doing it :-)
 
hypoindia last decade
I had written some more questions above. Please reply.
 
sameervermani last decade
Sorry to have missed that Sameer.

What time of the day do you feel at your best and what time of the day do you feel at your worst ?

Feel the best during nights. Feel the worst in the morning, when I wake up.


Also, are you over-burdened with domestic responsibility ?
Its general household responsibilities; taking care of the kid, the house, the cooking, washing, etc. But I don't feel that its over burden at all. That feeling comes in once in a while when I am not feeling physically well.

Any aversion to responsibility in general ?
Not at all.

When you say, you tremble, is it primarily from suppressed anger or from any emotion in general ?
Its mainly from anger and some times while crying.
 
hypoindia last decade
Please elaborate more on

'Since my childhood I have always felt like a neglected child. I always feel that people use and throw me and feel betrayed by any one whom I trust. I don't understand why people are so artifical. '

Who neglected you ?
 
sameervermani last decade
I have a elder sister and and a younger brother.

The initial financial condition of the house was not very good.

My necessities and demands always took a back seat.

My sister knew the art of getting what she wanted from the parents (be it a book, toy or a dress).

I was never too demanding, but even those demands were not taken care of.

My sister did not treat me well and all my complaints about her to my parents always went unheard.

Always lacked the care and love from my dad, he did take care of his minimum responsibilities as a father, but neven gave the time, love, attention and care.
 
hypoindia last decade
So, if I were to ask, which figure in your family do you have negative feelings against, for neglecting you .. is it father or mother ?
 
sameervermani last decade
I have the feeling towards both of them.

But much more towards the father.

My mother is no more. But I still don't find the answer to why even after being a mother she did not understand.

Sameer wanted to have a suggestion, this might be a little out of context here: Am tired of my excessive weight (75 kgs and height 5ft. 2in). Am not too keen on doing exercise. Is a product like 'Morning Walker' of any help is reducing weight.
 
hypoindia last decade
No, please do not take these slimming products. They will wreck havoc with your system in the long run.

Please take a SINGLE dose of Magnesia Carbonica 200c as follows , dissolve 2 drops in 120 ml water, stir and take a sip from there JUST ONCE.

Make sure nothing enters your mouth 1 hr before and 1 hr after the dose.

Report in 10 days.

Sameer
 
sameervermani last decade
Hi Sameer,

Its been 10 days that I had taken the medicine. So wanted to update you with the results:

Cannot comment much on anger and annoyance.
Have started feeling that I want to talk to people now.
Want to meet people.
Have not had mood swings since the last 10 days
The sleepiness seems to be gone and I feel a lot more active and energetic now. I am satisfied with the way I am taking care of the house and the kid.
No more headaches, drowsiness and uneasiness.
Am sleeping a lot less as compared to earlier, have even infact skipped my afternoon sleep a couple of times, which is very rare.
Mouth dryness and thirst has also normalized.
No pain in gums, no bad dreams, wake up fresh in the morning
Self confidence has improved and have started to have a 'I care a damn' attitude about the things which earlier used to bother me a lot. I feel that I have started forgiving people.
Earlier even after having proper meals I always had the urge to gobble up some thing all the time. That also seems to have improved.

Overall things seem to have improved a lot.

Just want to add one thing here that I have started involving myself into some handicraft work, which I wanted to do since a long time. So little confusion here what could be the scenario :

1. Are the things improving because I am involved with work now
OR
2. Is it that the medicine is affecting and because of the medicine I have started working :-)

I am really happy with the improvements and would them to stay and continue. Thanks a ton for the guidance and help.

Kindly advice the next course of action.

Regards
 
hypoindia last decade
Oh come on , now handicraft won't remove each and every symptom you were experiencing. :)

It is DEFINITELY the remedy. You are free to think otherwise though :)

As there has been a 'striking' amelioration on all fronts, we must wait , wait and wait.

So, no more doses, and update me in 1 week from now.

Sameer.
