Children get Overwhelmed too!

When I think of children being overwhelmed I think of the times my children were given simply too much things and they literally couldn’t handle their emotions from that experience. That usually came in the format of crying, anger or simply to be left alone. At other times, usually around exam time or developing new skills they would talk incessently to the level of over thinking things and whether they are capable of handling such pressure or/and new things.

Symptoms of being overwhelmed include:

• Irritability
• Anxiety and depression
• Pain of any kind                                          
• Sleep disturbance
• Digestive problems
• Skin problems
• Weight issues

 
Homeopathic remedies at these times are:
Aconite
Aconite is for intense, sudden anxiety, panic, or fear. Panic could be connected to past trauma. Symptoms of this type of panic include dry skin, dry mouth, and fast heartbeat.
Argentum nitricum
This is recommended anxiety that is due to uncertainty. This includes claustrophobia, hypochondria, fear of heights, or fear of everyday things. Uncertainty-based anxiety could be accompanied with digestive disturbance, like diarrhea, and sweets cravings.
Arsenicum album
This is purported to be for anxiety due to fear of loneliness, darkness, or being imperfect. People with this type of anxiety fear being alone and may relieve anxiety through control or criticism of others. They may also feel cold often.
Calcarea carbonica
Those who need calcarea may be similar to those who could benefit from arsenicum. They develop fear of breaking out of any safe routine. Anxiety worsens when plans are changed, and they show difficulty in “going with the flow.”
Gelsemium
This is for people facing anxiety due to feelings of inadequacy. People with this type of anxiety are often timid and shaky. They may experience agoraphobia, avoid crowds or public speaking, and be vulnerable to fainting. They often also desire solitude and avoid insistent pressure from other people.
Ignatia
Homeopaths recommend ignatia for those experiencing anxiety from grief or loss. People who fit this description are often very sensitive and prone to mood swings, moving from laughter to tears. Ignatia is also recommended for depression.
