A woman of 43 years with tension and sleep problems. The year before, she was treated for anxiety, recovered well, and started tapering off medication. After tapering off paroxetine, everything hits her so hard. She feels too much from people. Physically, she is much better, but when something happens, she notices it in her sleep. She noticed a need for routine; during the holidays, she became restless and couldn't find relaxation anymore: again tension, one day I felt very good, the other day depressed. I keep fighting. What I mean by that is I am so unsure or negative about myself.
Constantly fighting, those voices in your head, 'You can do it,' 'You can't,' she keeps obsessing over everything. It's worse around menstruation. If something happens to the people around her, she struggles to deal with it. She finds it difficult to choose for herself; she's always taking care of others. This causes tension and even arguments with her parent; she feels she has hurt them and can't park that feeling.
'That crazy sensitivity to emotions that I always have.'
At home, she talks about; her doubt about whether she can stay off medication, the anxieties are familial after all. What can hurt her deeply: the children, her husband, her parents, her own wishes were always subordinate. She listens a lot to her parents, who need extra care, but she chooses her feelings, impulsively. She seems relaxed and calm, but is not inside. After two days of work in healthcare, she is completely drained. The insecurity started in puberty, and she got stuck in it.

AnalysisSeries 5, SiIver series: Sensitivity, atmosphere, and family play a big role, think of Silicon series, but what is the theme: especially understanding and appreciation, how things are going, the intention, conveying ideas and the message: this fits more with Series 5. Her voice is very expressive, the tone is stable but thin. Attitude is calm, receptive, and empathetic: aspects of Malvidae.
Phase 4: Taking responsibility, this is natural for her, she likes stability and routine. Problems arise when something changes: childbirth, caring for parents. Stable theme: found in Phase 4, Stage 10.
Phase 6: Giving a lot, feeling empty, feeling worthless, having familial psychological problems, being unable to cope with life can be Phase 6 or 7.
Stage 2: She feels very uncertain, that fits Stage 2 but you can think also at Phase 2; Phase 2 is 'standing with one foot in it,' and Phase 6 is 'standing with one foot out,' they look alike.
With these aspects, you search within the parameters: Silver series, Phase 4, and Phase 6.
The wording: 'voices' we know from Anacardium orientale, the uncertainty towards the group (family in this case) is a theme of Anacardiaceae. This woman is in a situation where instead of being the obedient, good child, she has developed a different attitude: her own opinion, and ideas, within the family. Phase 4 and Subphase 2 or Stage 2 come back here. The theme of Scholten: adapt to conserve the hierarchy in the family or society.
Prescription: Anacardium occidentale C200

Follow upAfter a few days, she had a turnaround: 'I woke up and felt relieved, good'.
It's going very well: she's calmer, more cheerful, and again picking up things to do. The mood is constant. In the first few days, she still has a short fuse and is dissatisfied with herself, so she doesn't exercise. You still hear the voice reacting to what she thinks and feels: it cracks, is thin, or is high (an expressive voice is an aspect of Silver series). Eyes sometimes look hard and unyielding for a brief moment.
This weeks she still uses levocetrizine, otherwise, she has itchy eyes and nose or sneezing.
The tension towards parents is still there, but it doesn't bother her anymore. The argument has been resolved well. Her attitude now is: if you don't understand me, then so be it (Silver series theme is emphasized again, understanding, expressing, communication). Sleep is good now, she wakes up refreshed. The years after this are going well for her.
The year before, she recovered after Caesalpina bonplandii, then was able to taper off paroxetine (her complaint was depression since the birth 15 years ago).
