A remedy of Piperaceae
Man 50 y. suffers from mood swings and torments himself with his weakness in decision making. He grew up in poor circumstances. He doesn't know himself and doesn't know what he is able to do. His parents started building their house when he was 6 years old, there was no time for him. He was different, one could not use him for practical things like building houses. He has a photo on which he is 3 years old. It shows him with his three siblings but he does not belong to them, he just stands next to them. It feels like he has no needs and no place in life. He feels isolated and strange in this world. He is often afraid in the mountains when it gets steep, he is afraid of death and panic. He is insecure and cannot articulate his own needs. About his father he said, he could not keep eye contact so insecure he was as well, he is a very adapting person.
