665.55.05 Glechoma hederacea, Case
Case by Martin Jakob.
Woman, 25, allergies.
Her ankles are painful, swollen and oedematous. It is worse from walking long distances and stress at the university. It started in high school, when she had relatively few friends, sometimes more, sometimes less. She missed a close friendship.
She had just finished a six-year relationship. She had to go away, to know herself, she felt it limited her, but the separation is not complete, they see each other often. She has another acquaintance too. She has the feeling that she cannot have a relationship with them both. One of the men creates a sense of home.
She studied sociology at the university, which was stressful.
Her childhood was good. She often argued with her elder sister. Her sister was always the smart one, had better results at school. She also studied and worked as a special kindergarten teacher. It’s all rather a lot, two men, a lot of friends, working on her doctorate thesis and going out. She is happy when she gets time to sleep. She does not want to waste time and wants to have a happy time with people. She cannot decide on one man because then she must hurt the other and that she could not do.

Follow up
After Glechoma she separates from both men. She realises that she always wanted to be herself and that is easier without a boyfriend. Previously she had doubted if she could manage alone. She feels more stable and confident, appreciates herself more. Things feel lighter, better. She worries less.
