Picture of Baryta bromata

Essence: you are ridiculous if you make mistakes.

Powerless to prevent mistakes

They feel they are always making mistakes, there is simply nothing they can do to avoid it, they are completely powerless.

Even when they are doing well they still think they are doing it wrong. This feeling gets even stronger when they are faced with a new task. Anything that is new makes them feel out of control.

New people make them feel more inferior and less able to cope.

Ridiculed for their mistakes

They are very afraid of being laughed at because of all the mistakes they are making. Even when someone just looks at them they think they are being ridiculed. Every mistake is bound to invite derisive laughter from everyone around. A typical situation where this feeling can be expected is in a school where they are newcomers and they have to learn how things are done.

They need a lot of support and encouragement, because they are sure that the others think they are stupid. They can easily become the laughing stock of the school. They are incapable of putting up a fight against the school bullies, they might even attract this sort of situation. Later on in life they might come up against similar circumstances, where everybody at work takes the mickey out of them because of their clumsiness.

Embarrassed because of other peoples mistakes A variation on this theme is that they are very concerned for other people who make mistakes and become the object of ridicule.

They really feel for these people and try and stick up for them wherever they can. They feel sympathy for people who cannot cope with the cruelty of modern day society, people who end up in a psychiatric hospital because they can't handle the rat race. They may go and work in a psychiatric hospital to help these types of people.

Ridiculed for their psychosis

They may end up needing psychiatric treatment themselves because of failure, or ridicule or of being excluded by society. They get overstressed and feel that everyone looks down on them because they can't cope. They also feel they have no control over their emotions and are prey to the most primitive instincts.

Hospitalisation only worsens the problem because then they feel that everyone will talk about the fact that they have had psychiatric treatment. A person who has been in a psychiatric hospital must be weak and unable to cope, such a person is bound to be aggressive and unable to control his sexual instincts, so they think.

The first thing she says is that she is afraid of being laughed at, especially at school. She is afraid that the other children will laugh at her hair or laugh at her clothes, which she likes very much herself. She never dares to try out something new. She is also afraid that she isn't doing her work properly. She constantly asks her teacher how she should do things. She doesn't put her hand up to answer questions in class, too afraid that shell be laughed at because it was the wrong answer. She assumes that it will be wrong even before she has said anything. She has difficulty with maths, difficulty with any new subject, difficulty making choices, even simple choices like which flavour ice-cream to take. She doubled a class last year, but now she finds it difficult to make new friends. She is very shy. She doesn't like to be away from her mother. Her mother has a part time job in another town. On the days that her mother is away she doesn't feel well, complains of stomach pains and doesn't want to go to school in the morning. When she was still at nursery school she used to cling to her mother and wouldn't let her go. She is afraid of strangers. When there is anything exciting going on she complains of cramp in her stomach, worse in the right hypochondrium. She doesn't like to go to stay with other people because she gets homesick, especially for her mother. She is also afraid of the dark, there might be ghosts who will come to get her. She is a very mild and quiet little girl. She likes to please people and is very afraid of making mistakes in case her mother gets angry and blames her for doing it wrong. Past history: She is the eldest of twins, born at 37 weeks. She was a bit behind in her development and has never really caught up. She remained a bit on the small side. She was late learning to walk, not until 16 months old, late dentition and late being potty trained. She had her tonsils removed when she was 4. Generals Build: small, slight, face, long and thin, blue-grey eyes, dark blond, thick hair, large and crooked teeth. Weather: warm. Desires: sweet (2), spices(2), chocolate (3), egg, (2), fruit (2). Aversion: sauerkraut, spinach, strawberry ice-cream, buttermilk. Sleep: on right side or stomach. Skin: wart on sole of right foot, peeling skin around her nails. Analysis She starts by saying that she is afraid of being laughed at: Baryta carbonica. But this remedy didn't do very much. So we had to look further. The second theme is the fear of making mistakes, particularly connected to the fear of being laughed at if she does make mistakes. This brings us to Baryta bromata. (Homoeopathy is that simple ?!) Further confirmation for Baryta: unsure, shy, afraid of new situations and strangers, indecisive, slow development, late teething, walking, potty training, small, (>) sweet, throat affections, retarded growth and (>) lying on stomach.

Bromium symptoms: throat affections, (>) chocolate, skin peeling around the nails, blond, blue eyed.

A striking symptom is her aversion to strawberry ice-cream, while she loves other flavours of ice-cream. In the repertory we can only find an aversion to rich cream ice-cream in Radium bromatum.

Radium is placed directly underneath Baryta in the periodic table.

Reaction First she got Baryta carbonica. The reaction was a few days of constant stomach pains and some slight sore throats. Her fears didn't really go away.

The next time she got Baryta bromata. And the time after that she came into the consulting room skipping and she hopped onto a different chair from the one she had sat on the previous times.

Things are going very well. She looks much more at ease. Her teacher says that she is more self assured. She isn't so afraid of making mistakes and she doesn't ask for help all the time anymore. She is able to make choices and decide what she wants, regardless of what others think of it. Today she is wearing a jersey that she never dared to put on before, because it is rather large and the other children might have laughed at it.

She mixes better with other children, is even talking to boys! She doesn't cling to her mother when she visits other people, but will go off and explore. No more stomach aches, even on the days when her mother has to work. She went to stay with a friend for 2 nights. No homesickness, no stomach pains, no fear in the dark. A slight fear of ghosts from time to time is all that is left. She feels as if she has been set free, freed from the little cage she had been locked up in.
