Boswelia serrata
Remedy code: 3-655.41.15
Young man of 28 years, talks easily and tells: I have been at home for six weeks, with burnout. Two weeks back I tried to work, it doesn't work out, after a short time it's already too much. All week I lie on the couch. Am up. It's a bit of finding what I can do. After sleeping I keep feeling tired. Now I am tired, eyes droop. Headache is left vertex, constant pain, no energy and do not feel like anything. That was a lot in the study too, the exam week.
My work: I lead, am department head of a service department, maintenance of the help desk, and the mechanics. It started as a second job within the company, they now ask if I can continue with it. My dot on the horizon was far, I hesitated about it for a while, for did a technical study. Started in good spirits this year, it was a lot of fun. It's a difficult department but I knew that, there were problems, the company is growing fast, this job is too busy for one person. I am now both manager and the technical guy. Everybody came to me for solutions.
Then I had an operation, throat tonsils, at home for two weeks to recover, then realized it was actually too much. Got reluctant. Told the boss: this is not what I want, the amount of work is not fun. Too much, someone is at my desk every five minutes, so you don't get into your own work and don't get an overview, the concentration is gone every time. A lot, no direction, no approval. The problem is ‘I don't know how’. Managing I was doing for the first time. I got stuck in it. I didn't really know which direction to direct. Difficult to concentrate, forgetful and easily distracted. I told the management that I still had to get on with it, 'just a little longer', the stress was there, I only did the things I thought 'this really can't wait'. Tackled the biggest crisis. After work on the bike, my head was full, at home with friends I kept thinking about how to solve it. Sport helped, I sleep well.
In the end I was crying behind the computer, the emotional realization that this is how it is. Suddenly then came this tiredness, it came out. Physically tired, hanging out, a little gaming, reading a book, lying flat a lot. I'm also in the process of buying a house.
Did engineering studies, before that computer science, but that was too much sitting, a lot of theory. Engineering is very fun, interesting, all my family does it too. Did internship in renewable energy, after volunteering in a third world country, then I learned to 'go for it'. I want to do it the best I can. Often had trouble with tonsils, inflammation, no more since the surgery. With stress I have headaches, shoulders and neck tight. I like to be with people, want to help, had side jobs, make people happy. Now as a manager: I want to be friends, not a boss. My hobby is the old timer, love to be busy, tinkering etc, am also creative with wood. Being outside, the fresh air, the openness, a bit of freedom. Family and friends, I try to spend a lot of time there. Buying the house: this I want to do myself, refurbish it.
Analysis
Look for ‘theme’ as burden or solution.
Problem lies in managing, Silver series, technology and IT: Silver series. Want to help, more than accountability or leadership, want to connect. Way of talking is pictorial, looking for atmosphere, more than meaning and detail, more emphasis on Silver series5 than 65.
Focus of complaints is area of shoulders and neck, throat - the tonsils, fits Silver series.
From his place in and viewing the world, this brings you to Silver series5.
His idea and attitude "I can handle this, go for it" fits with Phase 4. Taking responsibility, feeling this way of Phase 4, the spontaneity of Phase 1.
Idealism, Phase 1 or stage 1, other culture, clade 5 (concerns his development work). Just beginning, everything is new fits Phase 1. Starting spontaneously and confidently, then running out of steam, confirms Phase 1.
So it points all to the Burseraceae.
The sensitivity characteristic of Malvidae is not always seen directly in the Rutales, probably this is in the shadow of the certainty, the stability that fits Phase 4. Often it is just characteristic that there seem to be no stress factors, not so experienced in the families of the Malvidae classified on Phase 4.
The inflammation of the tonsils: fits stage 15. Working himself over the top. Many friends and family contacts, compare with phosphor, also stage 15. The period, the approach of building up, having to work hard for it fits stage 15. Doing fun things, partying, stage 15.

Follow up
After one month: doing pretty well, I was already in a good process, privately. Did make adjustments at work. Out with friends is always busy, lots of music. Normally I could shut myself off from it well, but because of the burn out I couldn't stand it at all. Now it's going well again, although I have to recover from all those stimuli an hour with earplugs in bed. I started working again, could concentrate well, and after work the rest of the day was good. Feel happy, cheerful. Last week I did decide to resign the extra position, I actually knew before, but didn't come to the decision. I am more of the technology than the management. Did doubt, 'is it because of the hustle and bustle that I don't like it', but I didn't enjoy going there anymore.
I can go to bed late now, listen still to music but less loud. Sleep well, deeper, wake up rested now. No more head, eye or neck pain. More energetic. I have been using iron for years, hb is often too low, I see everything as a competition. Do mindfulness app now too. Two months later he calls that things are going great. Family reports years later that all is well.
