Argentum Nitricum Mental State

A very high need and wish to perform
Want to be stars Warm, loving, quite extroverted; want be w/people Lighter (than Aurum), about entertaining, performing for artistic Goofy remedy, vs. haughty

People oriented people

Ah, whatever we are going to do, we are going to do differently About performing
A silver salt a silver nitrate Nitrates: Want to play have fun, Also explosive quality Miasm: both Sycotic & Syphilitic (mostly) Syph: because needs to create strong rituals, compulsive to prevent disaster They try to organize their life around not having to be in these situations

Like to have fun!

Quite sympathetic, (when not own stuff) (Hard to tell apart from Phos on surface)

Overcome with irrational thoughts That Distract them Impulse to jump off edge of building In this moment, they are overcome with this intense impulse, they cant stop They can explain it all in detail; explain how it feels to fall off to go splat Kids: What would it be like to stick this fork in the socket? and they do it Adults: wonders, yet hold themselves back

Everything is dramatic
(never timid or calm)

Rituals
To keep the weird thoughts down Often involve movement in space Come down stairs on left side ...or something bad would happen Big stars, no red m&ms Very superstitious Everything is about signs Ill take all of the good luck things you have Often diagnosis with OCD

Seldom Bungle!
(Periodic table in the middle of the row)

Before Oscars, what to wear? to say?

Not Self-Critical
they give a great performance, they know it, they feel great Where they go down, is when they are at the pinnacle and fear of going down Devotion to Classics I want what was shining to shine forever

A Tension
The Nitrate part (brings very high anxiety) All salts have a conflicting part in them Worried about doing their best job Caught in this particular tension, driven to be thought of highly of, and yet equally strong fear and dread of failing

Creates an erratic nervous system

How you feel, if you were a hostage negotiator, life and death, and what if you fail?

One of our most irrational remedies

Spouse is trying to trap me Leave jobs for weird reasons They dont make sense (in an extreme state) Can be for early dementia if not treated

Suggestible
Especially about their health Case of Polio in MN; they were the ones that called, easily reassured

This is how they approach life

Performance becomes a crisis for them

Oh my God, could that happen to me?

(Like Phos)

Strong sense of hurry

I cant take much more of this waiting From erratic mindset Arg-N; cant hardly contain themselves, will ask how much longer, will go out in hall and pace, just all the more anxious Relationships Rocky Married and Divorce Loving in relationships, but explosive

What am I going to do, there are 50,00 people out there to see me, what if I fail?
Anger (Explosive) Temperamental
Over-reactive State (what they are trying to avoid) In this impulsive state, they will blow up at anything They can have huge temper fits

On one hand, they want to shine On other hand, they dont want to fail

They begin to live in this world of irrational thoughts A lot of anticipatory fears
Anxiety, sets in as soon as date is set (might not even realize it, so habit) If I do fail, I have a long way to fall High test anxiety People who fail tests because of anxiety

Even for a simple unrecorded quiz Major stage fright remedy Dont want to get Trapped!

Its big, its loud, and its sudden

And when its over, its over Not physically violent, they are loud, they rant (a performance)

Demanding Kids
A Handful Frequent temper tantrums at Home

Closed in places; panic Great claustrophobia

They panic if they cant get out (Syph) Emotionally; they feel trapped, they want to perform, they are sure it will be terrible Same feeling they get in a closed in room

Irrational Fear of Failure Dreams Falling, things crashing on them, of being trapped, of performing and failing; of giving graduation speech naked; of loosing control in absolutely critical situation The Actors, Performers Reagan had a silver tongue, but couldnt handle complex issues (not Aurum) approaches in an artistic way Arg-N are not interested in running the show
Cant articulate why

Its not rational, its just a feeling they have If Failure

Pathology sets in

(how will I get out?) huge

Never sit in the middle Wont sit by window, why? Might jump

Fear of buildings falling down on them

Panic Attacks Im going to fail, fall, cant get out, Im trapped
From 0 to 100 in one second

The anxiety might create that terrible performance

Arg-N has the lead, they have a terrible performance, they will likely come down with physical illness
