Hi Snoopy,

I have absolutely *no* sexual interest and i usually walk fast and in a hurry and feel frustrated when walking with the kids bc they go too slow (though i usually don't admit this).
I (secretly)like to be consoled when i'm depressed, but usually it makes me cry. Most of the time i keep moving so i won't have to deal with the inner feelings, and am very irritable and agitated.

No unusuall food cravings except popcorn and ice cream, though i like to limit these in my diet.

About the environment, I am very uncomfortable in tight places and clutter (which is my home ) I love clean and neat and spacious (not too) and if not for the fear of bad storms and the damage they would do to the house (i actually *love* a good thunder storm) would love to live on the beach. I hate crowds and crowded places.

Thank you

Smiles, How might i make sure i am talking to an experienced homeopath? Everyone i've seen or talked to has first thought of Sepia and it has not brought about a profound change perhaps bc of the changeability of my condidtion(?)

Not everyone understands how it is with bipolar d. most healers that i've spoken to (of all modalities) don't seem to grasp the extremity of the highs and lows. I don't get way out there manic, just mildly manic...so i just feel really god (typo, but funny so i left it ) I meant to say *good*

I could drive a long way in several directions to find many more homeopaths... I don't want to waste my time. Any tips on screening ??

Blessings, Kelly

Thanks JVolkman, I have heard of George Guess and Charlottesville isn't far from me.

Hi,

To be very honest with you, there aren't that many excellent homeopath's out there. They definintely do exist, however.
After one is done with schooling (500 hours) and clinic (500 hours of case taking) - (this is usually a 3 or 4 year carriculum) and anatomy and pathology courses - This combined with natural talent - and perhaps 10 years AFTER that point, you are beginning to get into the homeopaths that can really look at ones center and really perceive who one is. It is a fine art to reach into the depth of one. It takes years
of opening yourself and a deep intent to see into one. It is an intricate process that takes many years and REAL training along with very deep thinking processes and contemplation.

This art is the art of directing energy. It is EXTREMELY powerful, the energetic pharmacy is.

I think you need a real homeopath who really knows what he/she is doing. Who has dedicated their life to it. Not kind of dabble in it or even seriously dabbled in it.

There are some wonderful people at treating acutes out there who have also had some good experiences with other things, too.

I think you need the real deal though. Let's see. How far are you willing to drive?

Also, the gentleman referred to you in your area I have not have heard of - he may be excellent, I have no idea.

But the homeopathic community is actually quite small still. At the very, very, very, very, very least, please make sure any homeopath you may see went to a good school (NOT A DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAM), graduated, and is a member of NASH (NORTH AMERICAN SOCIETY OF HOMEOPATHS).
E-mail me and I will give the names and numbers of some of the most well known and respected homeopaths in the United States.

As important as it is for a homeopath to SEE you, I think it would be more beneficial to even do a phone consultaion with a masterful and experienced homeopath with an excellent reputation, who has seen several thousand cases, than to actually see in person someone who is still in an earlier phase in their homeopathic evolution.
You can get well, there is a light at the end of your tunnel. Sit tight. You will come out of your dis-harmony stronger and more compassionate than before.

Smiles.......

And also, seriously consider the dietary reccomdations made in a previous post. While to homeopathy I have just arrived at the portals, I am only still just finishing my first year at homeopathic academy, I do have a Ph.D in Nutritional Science and have seen many a vital force gently assisted by way of nutritional therapy (vitamins, minerals, diet, omega 3 fatty acids, etc..) overcome depressions (bi-polar, major, seasonal, etc..)COMPLETELY...................

I have a feeling that you may be getting a tiny bit better simply by the energy being directed at/to you from this thread. Sammuel Hahnemann called this "wesen".

JVolkman,
Thats a great site and George Guess *is* on it. Thankk you all

Dear Kelly,

No, I haven't forgotten you. My daughter is sick--the flu--and I haven't been on line in quite a while. The remedy I was thinking of for you was
Lilium Tigrinum--Tiger Lily. The name itself gives away its bipolar nature: Tiger on the one hand and a flower on the other. They usually have a high degree of sexual interest, but no sexual interest--the polarity--doesn't rule it out. You and the others may want to read up on it and compare it to your symptoms. Gotta run now.
