My daughter has not been sleeping for some time until about 4:00 AM, even though she lies in bed all night trying. Then she has to sleep in all day. Along with this she has back pain from tension (dorsal region, scapulae to base of neck.) Her chest feels constricted as if it will implode, especially on expiration. She keeps saying she can't breathe. She says she feels that all her energy is tied up in tension. Rocking back and forth sometimes relieves the tension, or other movement. Trapezius feels drawn. Inability to concentrate, worse at night. Feels anxious but not fearful, indecisive. Discontent, but unable to take action to change things. Dull headache in forehead, irritable (3) but very controlled, feels frantic. Lump in stomach as if food doesn't digest. Some loose stools, watery. I feel that she is overstressed from other people's problems, which she takes on, trying to help. People really expect a lot from her as she has always helped. She is a very sweet and cooperative girl, has needed a lot of Puls and Sil, some Med, some Phos, and the last few years, Carcinosin. She was always a night owl, since day one she was up till 1:00 AM. She was very healthy until the last few years, when she seems to be in a state of collapse. She has slowed down her activities to almost nothing, but doesn't feel any better. She is in love in a frustrating situation. She is very conscientious. She is crying a lot. Says she does not "feel like Pulsatilla." Help? Thank you.
