Bougainvillea glabra
Woman, 21, stress
A young woman of 21, she has a full but athletic build. She is open, sits symmetrical and stable, is attentive, and has cheerful eyes. She comes with her boyfriend, both of whom are lively and full of humor. Her face is red, radiating, as if she had just had sport, enthusiastic, and like her whole body, it looks like a firmly inflated balloon. She comes because of being stressed, unrest, and irritability with arguments at home, which makes her unhappy. It is difficult for her to talk about herself. She is very preoccupied with herself, spends a lot of time in her head, thinking a lot, which does not suit her. She is very concerned with others, but not enough with her family and home. She does not talk to her parents very much, which she would like to change. Her parents are having a hard time with this, and she feels guilty. Her friends quarreled, and she wants to make things right and talks to both of them. She listens to everything and keeps mulling it over. “Why do they come to me?” She attracts the wrong people in her life, people with problems. At school, she always has different friends with suicidal tendencies. She keeps thinking about it a lot, paying attention to them. She has spent her entire childhood paying attention to them. Fortunately, they are still alive, but the friendships are over. She now misses her friends and going out. She sees her classmates' jealousy, she would like to show her parents that she is there for them too, and she wants to give them attention. After a night out, she feels very restless, she blames herself, and she lets her oldest sister and mother do the housework. Her parents have a business, her mother is busy, I find it difficult, and the atmosphere is good. Now she is in her final year of school and is studying social care. She assists people, and she enjoys it. At first, she studied nursing, which was very difficult, so she and her parents decided to switch to a different level, which she really enjoyed: making the last period of elderly people's lives pleasant, making the end of their lives beautiful. She prefers to do everything herself, she doesn't delegate, she doesn't say no easily, and she can't set boundaries at work. Also socially: doing something for everyone. She would like to have more peace, but doesn't know how to achieve that. She sleeps poorly, and she keeps mulling things over in her head. I can't separate work and private life. In her head, she is always busy: what can I do, about a colleague: how can I help her, keep thinking. At home, she is not always so pleasant, she is a bit grumpy, she doesn't see me as very cheerful, and she lets everyone know. She has no time for hobbies, but she is creative in her work. She made a big mistake in the past, stealing money once, which had an impact, also on my parents. She was shocked at herself, that she was capable of doing that, she hardly dared to show herself, thought everyone knew, didn't look at anyone on the street anymore, and walked around with earplugs. At school, she was overly present, with her clothes, her big mouth, and making sure everyone saw her. Occasionally, she gets irritated, thinks about it, and when she's out, she's very happy. She wakes up tired and has no dreams. Occasionally she has eczema on her left thigh and in the crook of her left elbow. She once had an open wound on her left ring finger.

Follow-up
After four weeks: After taking the medication, she was very tired. After that, things improved; she fell asleep more quickly and worried less. However, her eczema has returned. It started after two weeks, appearing very red on her hands. It is now subsiding but is still flaky, with patches like ringworm. Now she can let things go and no longer reacts immediately. She now also thinks about her peace of mind. Previously, she had no overview and promised everything, but now she plans more. She still shows compassion for others, but in a calmer way. She no longer thinks or worries about everything. She can now let things go more easily. She no longer gives help to classmates without question; she used to give her work away for free. Her sleep is fine. Work is also going well now. Her mood is good, she is no longer grumpy, things are going well at home, she is taking more care of the family, which comes naturally, and she gives a little more attention. Before, she was always busy with everyone, looking for company, and then she would go straight to bed at home. After three months, things are still going well. At home, she helps a lot, she is happier and her head is no longer so full. She is better at letting go when there is disagreement. She used to be very preoccupied with work and ‘how can I make sure that parents are satisfied with me, that they don't have to do everything themselves’. Now she is more concerned with the future. The eczema is still there, on her left thighs and a little on the right, on her left elbow, it itches, it comes and goes, every day. Bright red. Skin scratching is negative. She already had eczema at the age of 14, but it went away later. She is no longer so concerned with her friends and their problems; she looks more at the positive things in life. Working with people: you can create something beautiful, give attention. At home, now everything can be discussed without emotional problems. The rash disappears after this.
Her previous homeopath prescribed Gelsemium sempervivum and Salix fragilis, without result.
