Thios. is a
chemical derivative from volatile mustard oil, Black mustard (Sin-n). The dried
black ripe seeds are distilled to produce volatile mustard oil, but the oil can
also be produced synthetically from the interaction of allyl iodide and
potassium thiocyanate, the oil contains not less than 92 % allyl isothiocyanate.
The oil is colourless or slightly yellow in colour and with a very pungent
irritating odour. By adding excess alcohol and ammonia to volatile mustard oil,
the odour disappears gradually in cold and more quickly on heating, while
crystals of Thios. are formed.
One-acre field of
mustard produces 1 tonne of seed, which produces 880kg of mustard flour. This
produces 4760 kg of wet mustard, which produces 47600 jars of mustard. It was
not until the 18th century that mustard seeds were used more widely as a condiment
- diners had to crush the seeds on their own plates before mixing them with
vinegar and water to suit their taste.
Folk Medicine -
Mustard
The seed or its
oil is taken both in-/externally, for cancers, growths of the abdomen, spleen,
stomach, throat, uterus or wrist indurations. Medicinally, seeds are considered
diaphoretic, diuretic, emetic, expectorant, irritant, and stI’mulant, and are
used in poultices for acute local pain, pneumonia, bronchitis, and other
diseases of the respiratory organs. The volatile oil is a powerful irritant,
rubefacient, and vesicant, used for rheumatic pains and colic. In 1699 John
Evelyns Acetaria says of the seedlings of incomparable effect to quicken and
revive the spirits, strengthening the memory expelling heaviness besides being
an approved antiscorbutic. As a counterirritant, the seeds ground and mixed
with vinegar are recommended for rheumatism, yet used internally for digestI’ve
disorders. Mustard seed tea has been prescribed as a gargle for sore throat,
and it is said to relieve bronchitis and rheumatism (Grieve, 1931). The plant
is emollient/sedative/narcotic properties (Watt and Breyer-Brandwijk, 1962).
Toxicity of
Mustard.
Seeds have a
cathartic acid due to liberation of Hydrogen sulphide on contact with water. Large
doses may produce sulphide poisoning, with cyanosis.
The proving of
Thios.
A rare snake venom
was chosen but became unavailable, which set back the proving by 6 months
(being a typical theme in Thios. - so even before the remedy was formally
chosen it was exhibiting its effects).
I chose Thios.
because although it already exists in materia medica, the information is
restricted to adhesions and healing of old scar tissue. The scar tissue theme
was interesting and I wondered if the remedy could do smilar things on the
mental and emotional level.
Abbreviations
IOS : Intensified
Old Symptom. - This a symptom experienced before the proving but which has
become more intense since the proving started, and hence is likely to be
significan’t.
ROS : Returned Old
Symptom. - When a patient experiences ROS during normal homoeopathic treatment
it is considered a healing reaction of the treatment. So if a ROS occurs during
the proving a special note is made of it.
Mind:
Waiting
The theme of waiting patiently already applies to the proving for me.
Waiting for the proving to start, waiting for the time to be r., delays, but it
is OK.
Waiting has suddenly come to the fore - I feel I’ve been waiting for
something dramatic to happen with the proving, but it isnt, and I need to
reconcile myself to the fact that it might not. I feel I’mpatient.
patients havent shown this morning, so had 2 hours wasted waiting for
them with no time to get on with anything else. Thats wasted time!
Waiting is a big part of my supervisors life at the moment - waiting
for something that could go either way. Also world events the Clinton Affair -
will he go or wont he? The UN in Iraq and the British / US threats - will they
or wont they?
Size
Feel thinner but know I’m not.
Looked smaller, my features and general being.
I feel taller.
Unreal
Things started to look unreal. „As if not having enough sleep, dream
like state. Like not got a firm grip on things. Like not in your body.
(ROS) I dont feel quite in the world - culturally things have gone on
around me, I’ve missed things.
Very tired, wanting to lie down, and feeling of everything being unreal
came over me.
Relaxed /
contented
Doesnt feel as anxious as of late.
Husband got annoyed at amount of pots to be washed. I was determined
not to bother about this - I would normally get anxious about his anger - I was
sarcastic, sarcastic and scornful and he laughed and came out of his anger.
Felt high from this time as the time progresses.
Feeling very happy and contented and grounded, and noticing others
being more frazzled than usual. Quite cheerful all day.
Daughter comments I look well. Feels optI’mistic. Better in company.
Calmer still and more relaxed. I didnt feel hyper before, but this has
gI’ven me a different perspectI’ve. Things feel gentle - the atmosphere in the
house, family feels gentle, cheerful-at one. My partner even smiled first thing
in the morning.
Laid back. Feel it will all work out.
Calm - persistently. Stressful situations did not feel stressful it
just flowed.
Felt calm all day except when really pushed by the kids, but didnt lose
it even then.
I feel fine - Feel very happy and contented.
Energy level still high, going with the flow.
Very relaxed and happy sailed through a stressful situation. Better for
being by the sea.
Very happy to see a lot of friends - cheerful.
Got engaged Valentines day - and we went to see the dogs at Bellevue
and had a great time! Not romantic, but fun and a new experience.
Feeling very calm (things change from day to day) and able to cope well
with things happening out of the blue, such as unexpected visitors staying for
tea.
A friend said I looked radiant over the last 2 weeks! She said every
time she sees me she notices more.
Heightened Awareness
Heightened awareness, referring to colours, sounds and shapes, More in
the now: things are defined and precise, pure and pristine, no encumbrances.
I’m in the now just accepting it not thinking. Observing without overreaction.
I feel calm, fairly focused. Notice things more, not intellectually just
instantly. Everything seems slow and defined wasnt thinking about what I should
be doing.
My senses were strongly evoked while walking in the park - smells,
sights, and noises. Everything seemed very crisp and nice, although it was grey
and drizzling in reality.
Sounds and shapes more vivid than colours. Noticing more movements in
my peripheral vision. Seem to notice noises more clearly the sound seems to be
amplified.
Had I’mpression that other provers were a little wild-eyed perhaps
explains the last few days. Feel sensual and detached. Remedy has heightened
sensuality. Once again aware of amplification of sound. Whispers, coughs,
laughs, as if they were personal and intI’mate - as if they involved me.
Noticed other people looking at me but feels good. Felt more confident at
college, more in control of situation, Aware of the harsh side of the remedy
but also its potential for strength. If I can handle the I’mmediacy of it, it
can be used constructI’vely.
Woman got on tram, stands stark opposite. Thought she was sensual and
symbolic. I felt I was controlling the situation and editing/scripting it.
Realised the I’mportance of perspectI’ve in interpretation - anything is
possible. Sense of exhilaration.
Have developed an intense passion for someone I shouldnt have! Its a
hugely deep physical and mental attraction and it feels all consuming and very
distracting. I want to spend all my time fantasizing about meeting hI’m, and to
sleep in order to dream about hI’m! Its about passion on the emotional level,
not sexual. About a meeting of minds and hearts, and it feels so r., but at the
same time it feels so wrong because of my commitment to my partner. All in all,
a very sensitI’ve issue, and I keep trying to push it away and hold on it being
a part of the proving, but the stronger urge is holding onto it because it
feels so exciting and new!
Heaviness of thought combined with a lightness of sensation. Aware of
every neuralgia pain and every little itch. A bit hypochondriacal. After seeing
sister my own fears have been heightened. Colours, noises, sounds are vivid
again. Sensual feel for the city, cold almost clinical observation of the chaos
that could ensue. Mind lI’vely, body sluggish. There is a debilitating quality
to the remedy.
Synchronicity
2 instances of synchronicity - I couldnt find the milk in its usual
place in the corner shop and was told it hadn’t arrI’ved yet, and then on
leaving the shop the milk float turned up. It felt as if one minute milk was
completely lacking, and the next it was there in abundance! Later in the day I
was very aware how much milk my daughter was drinking and expressed concern to
her.
Was thinking about how a patient Id spoken with yesterday she hadn’t
mentioned a symptom thats been bothering her a lot recently; then I walked into
my work room to find she was leaving a message on the phone saying shed
forgotten to mention the symptom and that she was still worried about it. So
both of us had been thinking the same thing at the same time.
I’ve been thinking about getting my hair cut professionally for the
last two weeks and today a new patient who turned out to have been a very high
class stylist and gave me some advice - although it wasnt asked for! It felt
like wonderful tI’ming - a spur in the r. direction.
2 pieces of synchronicity this morning: -
I’d been thinking about a case from 3 yrs ago (I havent seen hI’m for
12 months) with a view to discussing it with students, and this morning his
mother rang to say he needed some more (of the remedy).
Clarity
Feel very clear headed and alert therefore a good sleep refreshed. No
anxiety about seeing patients. Pleased was able to deal quite firmly and
directly with difficult patients - very slight aggression. Slightly stood back,
detached. No anticipatory feelings. Dealt with her in the here and now - didnt
allow games / messing about.
No sense of hurriedness. Clarity and determination, and accomplish
things. No anxiety.
Need to tidy up (generally untidy), moved some paintings. Old packets
and bottles moved off freezer. Felt needed to tidy up house then tidy up
garden, cut back dead wood etc.
Not feeling as anxious. Not heavy headed.
My husband said out of the blue that the remedy was making me more
direct, assertI’ve, but not bossy. This week more organised.
Visited mum - didnt feel as antagonistic as I normally do. Afterwards
she said shed come to visit me. Going home I was aware there was a softening to
that idea. Havent wanted her in the house before, decided to invite her up.
Daughter not home shed rang earlier to say she was going to be late -
keep her tea warm. Husband angry at waste of electricity. I was untouched by
his anger. Thought they can sort it out between them. (Previously would have
felt a knot in stomach, anxiety and would have tried to appease hI’m.) Felt
empathy with hI’m.
Still tidying - a backlog of case notes, teaching notes.
Found myself cleaning up kitchen - not obsessI’ve just sense of putting
things in order and organising things. Pleasant symptoms efficient, not
efficacious. Sense of well-being.
Looked at garden today and was able to see it clearer i.e. more
observant - able to see a broader picture rather than individual bits, the
whole.
Made daughter get off the phone. In the past would have wanted to, but
now did. Was downr. bossy, not dictatorial just firm. Feel very well, quite
calm and optI’mistic. Getting used to the idea that there is no certainty in
doing the job (homoeopathy) and the results. Job before, felt needed certainty.
Far more assertI’ve in myself, the external uncertainties dont matter
so much. Feel its the beginning of a new way of thinking about things, feel
very optI’mistic about things.
(R0S) Phoned back difficult patient - she was rude, offensI’ve, I wasnt
upset by it.
Supermarket bill was very large this week. D.
started to moan about it as he usually does. I usually ignore his moaning but
today I felt very sympathetic towards hI’m I knew how he felt (This is the same
feeling as a few days ago, when I knew how he felt when he was angry with my
daughter.) I said nothing because I didnt feel anything I said would make it
better. He came round very quickly after 15 minutes to apologise to me for his
ranting on.
I seem to be standing back and getting everything done,
Did some gardening and cleared away some dead trees and brambles felt
br.er after doing it / more cheerful.
Busier than usual I’mportant meeting pending - felt in control.
Lots of energy all evening worked till midnight.
Desire to clean - feeling very fastidious - wanted everything to be
exact.
Created festI’ve atmosphere - like Christmas. Desire to stop the world
- get everything sorted and up to date and then get everything started again.
Phone call from a third difficult patient complaining about treatment,
since the start of the proving. This is unusual for me, my feeling is not as
anxious about this as I would have been, before taking the proving my feeling
was more of concern than anxiety.
Out walking in the Peak District today. Found I was able to make
connections between the various places in the Peak District. In the past have
been familiar with individual places but not able to fix them together - where
they are in relation to each other. Today I found I could. This is an example
of seeing the broader picture that I experienced in my garden on day 7.
Made a sudden realisation as to the meaning of a recurrent childhood
nightmare, while chatting to a friend - it all fell into place, and was linked
with the film Wizard of Oz - Id never realised that before, although now its
blindingly obvious.
Feel very energetic today - as I used to feel in the morning felt
optI’mistic all day.
My partner and I have decided to get engaged after 17 years of living
together, and 2 children! It seems like a fun, confirming, consolidating thing
to do
Feeling very busy in the late evening, wanting to do, not go to bed.
Urge to read in particular.
I had my hair cut for the first time professionally in 7 years! Another
thing Id been putting off and have at last done!
Feel br. and sparkly, creatI’ve once more. Had thought Id never be r.
again. It has dragged its way through me.
Dictatorial
Bossy. Daughter objected wanted things to be done. More would be
accomplished if she did things and I did things (not bossy normally). Not
dictatorial. Organizing people to take on tasks. Daughter said I looked well.
Feeling calm yet she says I’m bossy. I do not normally ask someone to do
something usually do it myself.
Feel stroppy and bossy - its fun actually! My partner accused me of
talking like someone out of Eastenders! Behaving in a rude off hand way.
Continued also on and off the next day.
Irritability
Conversation on the telephone was abrupt. Every question answered with
a " No, no. Nope, Yep, No. Monosyllabic, abrupt, aggressI’ve.
Alternating between aggression, hysteria and stupor.
Annoyed, slightly shaky after a phone call from a demanding patient.
Quite short on the phone businesslike.
Was direct with daughter, I could feel anger rising, therefore could be
direct without being in a state, she does so little in the house.
A surge of anger toward a difficult patient, while thinking about her.
Patient used to phone daily, now she has come back, looks like shes doing it
again. All at once I decided I would tell her not to phone every day.
Visualised it happening. Never got to a pitch where I thought I could tell her.
Once I decided this, the anger went after 5 min. but the decision remained.
General feeling for the day: More anger, lethargy and tiredness.
Feeling of anger is lifting; a lid is lifting off it. Have been keeping the
peace for a couple of years.
Keeping everybody calm, husband and daughter fiery so I have to keep
the peace.
Later, everyone was very irritable and definitely not at one. Every little
thing feels so difficult and out to annoy me - inanI’mate objects especially.
This is completely different to how I felt this morning. Not able to negotiate
with my daughter, just turned her down without listening to her. Wanted kids
out of my hair, in bed, without bedtime stories, and no argument.
(R0S) Felt irritable, hot and bothered before bed, just wanted to be l.
alone.
Whole family very irritable and failing to communicate at all.
Annoyed for people being in my way, Irritable with people. Want to be
on my own. I’mpatient at others slowness - woman with a pram in front of me Why
is she dithering?" Intolerant (not like me).
Irritable, wanted to be l. alone and quiet. Partner asked for help in
the garden felt obliged out of duty.
(I0S) Woke by answer phone, didnt answer it but felt annoyed and
agitated that a difficult patient had managed to disturb me, lasted until 14 h.
(I0S) Irritable with the kids, couldnt wait to get rid of them to bed,
just wanted rid of them.
Irritable in the morning on being challenged about getting on with jobs
that needed doing on the house / garden (i.e. not getting on with them!)
Busy day - beginning to feel hassled.
More irritable, felt constrained by job. Felt like an automaton, not in
control.
Quite wound up at prospect of long drI’ve to meeting.
On the same night as having a dream about being concerned about
anI’mals, my daughter kept having a dream about a giant wasp that didnt like
people. She came into our room 3 or 4 times, and I was just irritated and said,
Go away: I didnt even think of giving her a hug! It felt very callous of me the
following morning.
Very irritable and feeling out of control today - actually swore at my
daughter when she spilt water all over my work.
Continued irritability with the family - I seem to create situations
where I can find fault and blow up. Shouted at grandchildren in an unreasonable
way - felt very guilty. Irritability better for walking. Everything that was a
problem has now got on top of me. I’m hardly able to do anything because
everything has to be done perfectly. There is so much to put in order I dont
know where to start. I dont want to hand over control to anybody.
(From supervisors diary) Murderous rage. Feels its hormonal. Total
unreasonable, sheer rage. Things winding me up - granddaughter with diabetes -
constant battle to get her to eat, and the dog. Sheer rage.
Very irritable. The cat is irritating me beyond measure. Threw her to
the ground feeling loss of control. Want to control everything. Used to feel like
this when premenstrual - the feeling would go once the period had started. This
feeling went once I started to take Evening PrI’mrose about 20 years ago.
Disorientated
Took 4 days to write a letter - as if time was slipping by - getting
nowhere fast.
(ROS) I dont feel quite in the world - culturally things have gone on
around me, I’ve missed things. Depressed still, also
no desire to do anything - desire to drink alcohol.
Disinclined to work.
I feel depressed in a strange way - no great appetite for work a wish
to enjoy myself - drink, sex, pleasure. Tiredness not depressed but despair or
languor. Drink coffee - I know its wrong but I need something - the urge to
break rules is strong.
No desire to do things I love doing - garden work, studies and writing,
play music, go to cinema, indifference.
Confused. Can’t find familiar objects.
Disorientated in familiar surroundings.
Short term memory shot at. Keeps putting things down and not able to
find them even though they are there.
Memory is poor. Loss of memory for familiar things.
Clumsy - dropping things all the time.
Confused and giggling.
„As if brick wall is stopping me from doing things“. Can’t get through
it. Frustrated. Can’t find a way to remember things. Angry about it. L. my bag of
Sac-lac at supervisors house yesterday (2kg is difficult to miss) it was in
front of my nose and I needed it. I know I’ve done things - can’t find a way
through it. Can’t find things. Supervisor observed; spent a long time rummaging
through her bag looking for something that she had in her hand, (NOTE:
Supervisor also lost something, a message very I’mportant, for 3 days. I
searched everywhere for it. It had been in my hand most of that time.)
Circle dancing - felt well and good energy first half, second half not
really there in the room. Feet felt mixed up. Fatigue (3), lay on floor, dozed,
took half an hour to come out of it. Wondered how I would drI’ve home. Someone
asked me if I was OK. She noticed my feet where getting mixed up. „As if asleep
on feet. Wasnt completely in the room. Not in room / dance.
Made a mistake numbering the day in my diary (only noticed when writing
up the proving notes - this symptom gets < later on, and I hadn’t realised
it had started so soon.)
Still clumsy. Keep dropping things. I’ve dropped the car keys I dont
know how many times today. NOTE: Supervisor has constantly been dropping things
as well.
So far this month (including the period just before the proving
started) 8 patients have got their appointment times and dates wrong - 3 this
week so far! (I’ve been able to establish its not my fault!)
A complete lapse of memory - couldnt remember at all if Id put a remedy
out for a patient to collect although I know Id prepared it, but it wasnt where
I should have l. it. As if a chunk of memory had disappeared, for something Id
just done.
Felt spaced out before - now dont feel as detached - I felt out of
things.
Walking in the precinct - felt weepy, feeble, weak and a bit pathetic.
Confused -whats going on? Making lots of mistakes in my writing and
misspellings - just spelt round with a w not a r! Can make 3 or 4 in a
sentence, but quickly spot them (when going through proving notes realized I
havent spotted them all.)
Supervisor pointed out Id got the numbering of all the days in the
proving diary wrong (corrected at writing up stage I)
(I0S) Busy going nowhere.
Energy levels dropping fast, difficult to concentrate, can’t remember
what has been said. Embarrassing - feel distant.
(I0S) Feel very negatI’ve - What is the point of life?
Still a sense of distance - feeling I was being drawn away.
A feeling of everything slipping away from me, out of control. Nothing
to hold on to. There is no logical mind behind this - I did administration
things this morning and worked out a new case in the afternoon - that is I have
had a productI’ve day. Not a feeling of pressure of things to do, more a
feeling of disintegration.
Feel tired and horrible, cannot focus. Driving problem cannot gauge
distance - mustnt drI’ve too close in case I hit something.
Still feel trapped and out of control, irritable, edgy and tense. Must
try and relax more. Must look to change otherwise health and study will suffer.
Had a row < for consolation. Wanted to sneeze, cough (after the row)
but afraid back would go - but symptoms < for consolation. Felt out of
control - felt as if I was having a convulsion. Felt very alone vulnerable
isolated. They dont deserve me. Decided to antidote the proving.
My mind feels chaotic and so do my surroundings. Work feels out of
control and the house a tip. It all feels too much to put r..
Very aware I’m still making lots of mistakes in writing - sometimes
miss letters out or write just half a letter, i.e. dont complete it.
3x in the last week I’ve taken the wrong route on short familiar local
journeys by car. Suddenly realised I’m going the wrong way on journeys I would
never usually even think about! (This is very unusual)
Sluggish (mind) and feeling of unease. A thin insubstantial divide
between control and loss.
No energy feel zapped.
Feel decidedly not with it - wandered around. Need to lie down. Want to
be shut off from everything. Repeated this feeling in the evening.
Misjudged distances caused two falls. A compulsion to write 1958
instead of 1998 all day, and I’ve written todays date a lot today. Each time I
have to stop myself from doing it. (58 is the year of my birth) this symptom
lasted one day.
Felt I acted slightly inappropriately with 3 different patients today
-tearful for a patients state, as I read a remedy essence to her. Too approving
of a patient who is thinking of acting in a potentially unlawful way, for fear
of seeming to judge her. Spent most of a session chatting to a patient about
mutual friends instead of taking his case! Although it was mainly his doing.
Time
One thing I noticed is that time seems to slow down.
Not enough space
Driving home felt not with it. Went through one or two gaps where there
wasnt space to fit. Took a few chances, sense of not having enough space. Other
drivers had to move out of my way. (Normally a very cautious driver, husband
always says he can drve in between the space I’m driving in.)
Do not want to be restricted in any way - undo bra - feel
uncomfortable, too tight, and too restricting.
Increased Energy
A spate of very earthy activity which I love - walking the dog, cooked
chocolate brownies, producing a special meal for the family I havent felt like
baking for months, but its felt like a real need. Then relapsed into a martyr
role of doing all the washing up, cleaning up, even drying up, and couldnt stop
until it was all done and felt completely exhausted and no one noticed.
Lack of motivation
Went out and stood just waiting for instructions - no motivation, no
initiatI’ve, looked sulky, felt difficult and stubborn.
Irritable in the morning on being challenged about getting on with jobs
that needed doing on the house/garden (i.e. not getting on with them!)
Feeling of not knowing what I wanted to do, in the evening, I should be
doing something, restlessness.
I have energy but can’t get on with anything.
Travel / New
Opportunities
Travel opportunities in the air.
A lot of travel and distance seems to be the theme, possibly of foreign
travel. Distant foreign travels, not just Europe. This feels different.
Found I was doing something completely new for me: - looking for jobs
for my partner (is unhappy in his current job) and I was actually looking at
jobs elsewhere in the country, and abroad, and finding myself open to the
possibility that moving away from here might be an option, and even quite
exciting ! I’ve always been adamant that I’ll never move from this house, let
alone from Manchester, but suddenly the possibility was there, and it wasnt
even scary! For me this is a huge shift. Maybe we’ve been in Manchester too
long??! Feels like itchy feet.
Lot of travel and moving around me - been to travel agents to get house
details, exciting - 2 months ago would have not thought about traveling and
moving.
Quite excited at thought of going away for the weekend.
Have developed an intense passion for someone I shouldnt have! Its a
hugely deep physical and mental attraction and it feels all consuming and very
distracting. I want to spend all my time fantasizing about meeting hI’m, and to
sleep in order to dream about hI’m. Its about passion on the emotional level,
not sexual. About a meeting of minds and hearts, and it feels so r. ...but at
the same time it feels so wrong because of my commitment to my partner. All in
all, a very sensitI’ve issue, and I keep trying to push it away and hold on it
being a part of the proving, but the stronger urge is holding onto it because
it feels so exciting and new!
Grief / Old Wounds
(I0S) Grief - deep crying about: Dogs dying, a friends son, a bit about
my mother - feelings of deep sadness for the grief of others in the world - not
depression, just sadness. Sunshine makes these feelings <.
(I0S) Deep anger about sexual abuse came up - a lot of it aI’med at my
stepfather who abused my daughter as a child.
(R0S) I am thinking about my Dad (died 5 years ago)
The horror of looking down and seeing the frogs leg stuck in the door
remains with me as I wake up this morning. I wondered how it was.
A friends ex husband has died - shocking news - and my supervisor has
also had some sI’milar news about a colleagues father, shes heard of two other
deaths this week too.
Mothers day and felt very down. Wept for the pain of all mothers for an
hour in the afternoon, about mothers being used and abused and acknowledged the
world over. It was a very deep pain, and most unusual for me. All this seems to
have started or come to a head since Friday when I saw old colleagues and
started to talk about old job and boss (very difficult period in my life).
My present situation is one of frustrated love - my loved one cannot be
with me. Since the remedy, are the different feelings with respect to this
situation - sadness, loneliness, depths of sadness, I wrote to my love I would
rather be dead than be like this with no contact. Before we had secretI’ve
contact full of stress, it was hell, we ended it because it was making us so
ill. But this is < this is like being in the shadows - dead having crossed
the Styx. It is so strong it could be a proving. I feel suicidal - so down in
the depths of loneliness - needing her to be with me. No one else will do!
Animals
Very irritable. The cat is irritating me beyond measure. Threw her to
the ground feeling loss of control. Want to control everything. Used to feel like
this when premenstrual - the feeling would go once the period had started. This
feeling went once I started to take Evening Primrose about 20 years ago.
The house seems in danger of filling up with animals! Weve just got 40
ants in an "Ant world, and the kids want a guinea pig and hamster. At the
same time, one of our fish was discovered dead on the floor, having jumped out
and been there at least a week - awful neglect or lack of interest on our part!
Saw a Kingfisher while walking - amazing sight! Animals seem so
I’mportant in my life at the moment.
I feel I’m getting lots of useful information from unexpected sources
at the moment. For example the dogs been unwell and I thought she must have
eaten something, then went for a walk to the park and chatted to 2 council
workmen who told me they’d just found a huge pile of curry (!) under a tree
where the dog had been nosing around yesterday.
A strange and disturbing event. I shut the back door, looked down and
saw half a frogs foot, half its lower limbs, and half its upper leg. The upper
part of the leg had the skin off (i.e. the underlying tissue
was exposed.). I couldn’t bring myself to open the door for fear of what
the rest of the frog would look like. I got my husband to do that - he called
me in - the frog looked OK and he let it go and it hopped away. I can’t work
out the significance of this event. I feel very sorry for the frog - again an
example of feeling its pain - and its way of dying - because how could its
survI’ve with such a bad injury.
The horror of looking down and seeing the frogs leg stuck in the door
remains with me as I wake up this morning. I wondered how it was.
Two new animals ensconced in the household - a hamster and a guinea pig
(to join 2 cats, and a big dog, 2 fish and 40 ants.)
Felt as if animals in the house are getting out of control! Everywhere
I go theres a cat or dog or hamster where it shouldnt be! At one stage there
was a cat, a hamster and a guinea pig all on the kitchen table I (maybe its the
children who are out of control!) Theres also mud, sawdust and hay all over the
house and I’m beginning to wonder if it is such a good idea.
At times today I’ve felt that the anI’mals are controlling us rather –
there’s always something that needs doing, or one that needs rescuing from a
situation.
Another fish died through neglect! The complete opposite of whats
happening in dreams where I’m looking after neglected anI’mals. (I am looking
after all the other animals well.)
Anticipation
Sinking anticipatory anxiety felt in stomach on waking, but I’ve
nothing to feel this way about.
Strongest emotion absolutely nothing. Usual to feel this before
menopause or before meditation, lack of negatI’ve emotion feeling of
contentment, all the problems are still there. Started to think about
grandchildren - could feel anxiety but stopped it before it began - cut the
loop.
Anxious about giving report to meeting - why do I put myself in these
situations.
Refugee
(ROS) After son l. for school - felt dispossessed like a refugee - I
don’t have anywhere.
Criticism
A lot of criticism from my daughter about how difficult it is to lave
at home, I wont let her use the stereo etc., etc., and complaints from 2
patients about how bad they feel on homoeopathy theyre not sure they want
anymore treatment. I felt able to stand it but is quite an unusual amount for
me all at the same time. I dont feel particularly affected by all this
criticism.
Information
I feel I’m getting lots of useful information from unexpected sources
at the moment. For example the dogs been unwell and I thought she must have
eaten something, then went for a walk to the park and chatted to 2 council
workmen who told me they’d just fund a huge pile of curry (!) under a tree
where the dog had been nosing around yesterday.
Some more useful information gleaned from a fellow dog walker
acquaintance in the park - to do with a house for rent, which a friend of mine
needs. It feels as if every time I go out, I came home with something useful or
interesting!
Met a friend in the park that I havent seen for ages - arranged
provisional lunch.
Music
Suddenly really into Bach string music - want it on all the time, its
tugging at my heart strings! (Never been interested in it before.)
Introspection
Night seems a threat. Little doubts create big worries. Sense of
normality and freedom.
On the outside looking in.
Wanted to drop out of it all.
Lying in bed at night before sleep and saw a visual I’mage of blue
bubbles rising against a pale blue sky. Carbon dioxide came to my mind as a word
(second time I’ve had a visual I’mage - never had them before).
Found myself thinking about people I used to work with 18 years ago -
maybe I dreamt about them but I dont recall a clear dream.
Introspection - self-analysis - sensation of something traveling from
the top of my head down through my body to feet. Mentally grounded.
(ROS) Impressions of my father (twice) - he said be careful - has had
the sense of protectiveness. Before this time it was in words.
Despondent
Felt the distance thing again but feel miserable as if I’ve got the
whole world on my shoulders.
Felt quite despondent because of several patient cancellations during
the last week.
Felt miserable down in the dumps. Feel as if I’ve gone to the extreme
of this remedy.
Despondent and low.
Feel and look as if I’m a hundred years old. (People comment on my
paleness). Low self-esteem - feel unattractI’ve - looked in mirror - pale and
miserable.
Still low, feel dragging and horrible. Dont want to communicate.
Don’t want to think about anything I’m dragging on to get through.
Exhausted and weepy.
Feeling low, feeling unattractive, I don’t feel feminine. I don’t know
what I want anymore. I feel my face and hair is a mess, weepy.
My 40th birthday and have felt very down for a few days which is most
unusual. Don’t know if its to do with the proving or because I’m turning 40.
Close to tears a lot of times, and sobbed my heart out reading a sad story to
my daughter at bedtime. Trying not to feel sorry for myself a lot of time.
Miscellaneous
Stunned to hear sister has suffered a stroke or cancer of the brain.
Noticed the sense of depression that I used to get briefly on cooking
has not been there since taking the remedy.
I want to eat, drink, and sleep! All things I can ignore usually.
Daughter and I having a few spats about the use of the telephone, she
doesn’t like to be told what to do. Situation feels healthier than it was.
Very untidy in bedroom - lots of things on bed. Extra covers wanted
wool.
(ROS) Dont want to do mental work - but want to do physical work.
Woke from a very deep sleep and did not want to get up - wanted to curl
up and sleep again. Felt very warm and cozy. Then all day feeling very sleepy
(not physical tired, but a heavy bleary feeling in my head and eyes).
Tired and lethargic difficult to self-motivate. Possibly a delayed
reaction to suffer.
Tired after long drive.
Felt funny on waking: wanted to slip back into my shadow.
(I0S) Fear of cancer is so strong it nearly made me sick. Aware constantly
of a lump on the neck. Need great resolution to rationalize the situation.
Lasts 2 days may have seen the return of the remedy, this time more heavy and
threatening.
Feel people are looking at me and know something is wrong with my eyes.
Felt as if I might burst into tears and would have done it if anyone had asked
if anything was wrong with my eyes.
Lowness lifting.
