CALCAREA SULPHURICA - Malice, irritability and jealousy

- GEORGE VITHOULKAS
The constitutional Calcarea sulphurica patient is not an easy case to deal with. The remedy is not easily recognisable by its mental-emotional characteristics. This patient does not know how sick he is, and will hide his mental state because he does not realise that he has a problem. He will not talk about it, but the information will come rather from relatives.
The main feature I have found in the mental-emotional pathology is an exaggerated sense of self-importance. There is a marked hidden egotism and we frequently see the traumatic effects of false modesty. Such patients go along in life expecting everybody to appreciate what nice and clever people they are, and therefore are deeply hurt by people not paying attention to them or not duly appreciating them. They moan and complain and hold grudges if they feel that others do not appreciate them. This idea is central to the remedy.
Imagine a patient who has an internal wound that cannot heal, cannot close, and it oozes and suppurates, and you wonder where all this pus is coming from day after day, week after week, or even year after year. The same idea may be applied to the soul which has been wounded and which oozes not blood but pus. There is something rotten inside the patient, a process of decomposition is taking place. The ego has been hurt and the soul weeps, but not in a healthy way.
A general discontent is shown, with morose and obstinate mood. The patient loathes life and becomes malicious with others. He has a quarrelsome nature, and, expecting others to do as he says, he feels insulted or offended if this is not the case, and hatred or contempt overtakes him just because people do not agree with him. He does not want to be talked to, and he has an aversion to answering questions and to company. The alternate reaction is to complain because they don't feel duly appreciated.
These individuals are easily irritated and roused to anger. A highly impatient and impetuous manner is often found, and they seem to be always in a hurry. Great irritability has been noted in the late afternoon, and in the evening as well, and 'irritable after coitus' is also a symptom that has been observed. Once the irritation and the anger have been expressed the patient becomes totally exhausted and very weak.
Jealousy is one of the strong aspects of this remedy. In this respect it is similar to Lachesis and Salicylicum acidum, there is a malicious jealousy in all three of them. Irritability and jealousy can grow to an almost pathological degree.
