Forsaken feeling, feels of not

Restlessness, after coition.

As
Sepia
is
mostly
prescribed for women, we
will
first
examine
the
woman Sepia. A woman is
brought to the Sepia state
after
renouncing
her
feminine
nature.
It
is
frequently
observed
women
between
20-40
years old to require Sepia at

A sensitive young girl starts her love life with

enthousiasm. She gets involved into a sexual
relationship but something happens and it
fails. She starts a second relationship which
again fails. Her dreams start to fall apart,
she is put off by the idea of another
relationship. Her emotional life feels empty.
If she happens to get involved in a new
relationship she finds that she cannot relax
during sexual intercourse and she feels bad
afterwards.

Here is another case: A young married

woman starts feeling that her sexual
life is not emotionally fulfilling. There
can be many reasons for this for
example,
her
husband
may
concentrate on the corporeal aspect
of sex, thus overlooking the romantic
needs of his wife, or he may be very
involved in his business and not very
emotionally supportive. She starts
feeling rejected and abandoned by her
husband. Before her marriage she
might have been Phosphorus or

A surgical operation can also

bring about the Sepia state.
This usually happens after
obsteric surgery, mainly after
an abortion. An abortion is a
very traumatic experience for a
woman. If her partner insists
on an abortion, thinks that he
does not love and respect her
any and starts feeling hurt.
Then she may become Sepia.

But even if this is not the

case, the emotional trauma
resulting from some medical
treatment can cause some
inhibition
towards
sex.
There is something that
does not let the woman
relax during coition. She is
tense. She starts feeling
that she will never be able
to enjoy life as she used to.

What happens to a woman

that
develops
such
a
psychological picture? Or, in
other words, what is the
attitude of the Sepia woman
towards other activities? She
is
characterized
by
hyperactivity.
The
Sepia
housewife is a very busy
woman. All day she moves
about in the house, motion is
good for her. She is fastidius

She demands that her husband

and children take their shoes off
as soon as they enter the house
and put things to their allocated
places. She is always busy with
something. She does not feel
well when she is sitting, motion
makes her feel better. During a
ball or a fair she is the first to
dance. Physical exersise helps
her a lot. She is full of anxiety,

Frequently
we
find
Sepia
among
educated women. It is difficult to state
whether high education promotes the
creation of the Sepia state or Sepia
women have an inclination for higher
studies. We believe both are true. On one
hand, a woman that feels emotionally
unfulfilled directs all her energy into her
work and studies, on the other hand, a
vigorous study programme prevents
natural emotional expression. Taking
over multiple roles may result in the
appearance of the Sepia state. Another
outlet can be making money. Sepia feels
financially insecure, she has fear of

Despite the fact that she outwardly

seems a very dynamic person,
internally she is very much like
Natrum muriaticum. She is very
sensitive, easily hurt, she wants to be
loved but she does not like
consolation. She keeps to herself and
weeps alone. The feminist type is very
much like Sepia. Out wardly dynamic,
inwardly sensitive, she is a woman
that has not lived up to her feminine
nature. Sometimes she may not
express her anger on others, beating
her children and then regretting it.

The Sepia mother offers

everything to her children, who
represent the meaning of her
life. Sometimes, though, she is
indifferent to them. This
happens mainly with educated
Sepia women who spend a lot
of their energy in their
business. However, in both
cases emotional investment is
lacking.

Where is the Sepia woman

led, living this way? Most
often some physical
symptoms appear as a result
of stress, for example. Then
hypochondriac symptoms
develop. She starts fearing
death, thinks that she has
some kind of illness, fears
that something bad will
happen to her. She might

Another picture, not the

most common one, is that
described in the books as
stagnation. It refers to
women who have been in the
Sepia state for a long time or
whose organism is
exhausted. They are
characterized by great
indifference. They are
indifferent towards their job,

They are in a stagnant

emotional state. Their
movements are slow, they
wonder how they can be in this
state. However, even in this
case motion makes them better.
When they come to the clinic
they break into tears while
relating their problems. Such a
psychological state is
commonly observed during
menopause.

It is true that Sepia is not

often given to men. If a man
is discontented with his job,
he might develop the Sepia
state. Or, in other cases,
sexual excess can result to
emotional indifference. The
Sepia man reminds us of
Natrum personality. Some
times he shows feminine
aspects.

Children develop a Sepia state

when they grow up without
love and affection. A
workaholic father, dedicated to
his job and overlooking his
daughters emotional needs,
induces a Sepia state in his
daughter. The Sepia child is an
hyperactive sensitive person.
