Rubric help, please

[Rosemary Hyde]

Patient, school-aged child (7), claims he is unworthy of any possessions. The most recent time, he also stripped naked and said he was unworthy of clothes as well.
This latest time was in reaction to reprimands from his teacher at school, who says he's "obsessive." Nothing the mother has noted would lead to that particular description.
Obviously, this latest episode is a cause for concern, if not alarm. Can anyone suggest a rubric or remedy that might correspond to this?
I'll look, initially, at Lac-c and Hyos...
Thanks, Rosemary.

Tiny thought: MIND; UNWORTHY; life, for, feels (2) : nat-s., plat.
(Your thoughts were mine too, tho.)

Or possibly something re "despised"? (Or is lack of "modesty" the
issue, or is he teasing, or ???)

Hi, Rosemary,
I don't know of any rubric that applies, but I've seen this sense of unworthiness in a patient who needed Stramonium and was similarly given to divesting his possessions. I think you might find a similar thread running through the entire Solanaceae family, to greater or lesser degrees. But in a child so young, I think it's cause for worry. Absent any strong religious feelings, it sounds as if he's verging on saying that he's unworthy of life.
Peace,
Dale

MIND - DELUSIONS - worthless; he is

other ideas: ailments from reproach; self-denial; discontented with himself;
sensation of being good for nothing.

Might Hura be worth a look too, or something else from Leprosy miasm?
Rosemary--I gather you've had an appointment with him already? If so,
can you describe what you saw? The taking off his clothes thing--do
you have a sense of whether it was simple grief (and a certain lack of
modesty!) behind that, or anything else?

Hi, Dale.
Yes, I agree -- that was my sense when his Mom told me about this. I've wondered about Stram, too, and willl look again. Thanks very much for sharing your experience.
I do have some strong physical generals to work with as well -- history of migraines, > sleeping; headache is throbbing with redness of face (he'd already been given Belladonna when they consulted me, with no results); tendency to nausea with vomiting when riding in a car for more than a few minutes; Physical exertion << headache. He has a croupy cough every year during the winter. No perspiration that's noticeable. The peculiarity in the case is his strong focus on material objects -- hoarding them usually, but now saying he doesn't deserve them -- material objects are definitely a symbolic focal point for him, which makes me think there's a strong Sulphur component in the case...
He also weeps easily from frustration, and is often frustrated because he can't make up his mind about anything. I need to look more closely at Nat-s (or Calc-s???) for him. Lac-c is also a distinct possibility, I suspect. The solanaceae do sort of hang around the edges of this, too...
Warmly, Rosemary

Nope, doesn't sound like Stramonium. What about Melilotus-off., which tends to have throbbing headaches with a red face, like Bell., be rather materialistic, and have ailments from sunstroke?
Peace,
Dale

Think of Lac Humanum, This has got the same feeling of worthlessness.

Else you can consider rubrics like forsaken feeling.
