Life Situation and Mental State
In childhood PGM used to say don't say anything since your tongue is black and it may come true. She was also very close to FA, H and MIL.

Pt was only daughter amongst 9 uncle and the only Si among 9 Br. So very loved and Pampered. Wanted to study much. She played sports - Hockey And being amongst 9 brothers, was quite a tomboy. She never had the need for going outside the family, so did not a single friend in childhood. Father achieved much after her birth - owned 2 buildings etc. Father had been told that till you have your daughter, you will have everything!!! At 19 yrs ie in 1972, when she got married, father lost everything; uncles developed insecurity, did not want to be with a sinking ship and so fully separated. Fa got a double shock.

July 1997 Fa died of 1st heart attack. Uncles took away all the property. Brother sold house, went to Nasik to settle. God was kind: they faced their, increased liabilities boldly .Cried while narrating the history. It was as if it had happened yesterday.

1991: MIL very ill. On respirator.
1992: She prayed to God to either take her or make her well. She died next day. Missed her3 sorely, she also felt a sense of guilt,.

Patient says she can talk to God. When she prays, her prayers are always answered.. But she never asks for material things.

Husband is a very practical man, caring but never expresses emotions. He wants his own space. Whenever pt ill, she wants some one near, and feels neglected. Children are grown up and don't have time. Husband says worry is her passion! This upsets her.

Mentals
Irritable³ weepy³, anger suppressed, brooding. Hurt very easily. Forgives but cannot forget. Loner does not like many friends, close only to H and MIL. Sympathetic. Fear of water³. Perfectionist³. Does not socialize since does not like gossiping. Talks excessive, continuously.
