< motion
I get panic attacks(can last ¾ hours or goes quickly depending/teacher bring me away from the situation)
I am crying, can’t breath, my hands lock, I can’t move, My nails digging in my palms, my mind goes blank’.
‘I always feel I am on the look out/not at ease/anxious’
I ask what is anxious for you? Thinking a lot, tired, tightness of muscles, closed in.
What is closed in for you? It is panic, within myself, not knowing, what to do/, need comfort
What is comfort for you? Someone there for me, go home, be with sisters , watching TV, someone listen to me, hold me, cry it out. I haven’t so many friends now, I haven’t trust of close people.

Review
I felt less stressed.
Vulva got really itchy at one stage and we dropped back the drops and that sorted that!
I had strange dreams that woke me up 3-5am, I don’t really remember them!
Menses good, 7 days, painful initially then it went, not nearly as bad as the usual ones!
No panic attacks. But, I was emotional during the exams, tearful, excited one minute and the next crying!
I am less tense and enjoying people more.
The Present
S.G. continued with me for 2 more visits, increasing her Lycopodium potency. She continued to preform well at school and is planning to go to University in September/October.
