She is sad and weeps easily, worse when there are tensions and her father is sad. For a year she has been plagued by black magic. She feels ghosts around her that she tries to ignore.
She has a sore headache in her forehead, more left and then right. It comes in attacks, together with dizziness and fatigue. She wants to sit down. The complaints are not influenced by the weather, food, menses or other things. She has pain in her legs, trembling in her feet and left calf. She has black spots in front of her eyes. She is allergic to trees, pets, wool and house mites, which cause an eruption on her forehead, nausea and sneezing.
She is a sensitive and unsure child who weeps easily, especially when her parents reprimand her. She has a fear of spiders and water. She likes music, hard rock and plays the guitar. She has an aversion to sports. She likes to watch movies like “The life of Brian” or “This is the spinal tap”. She is stubborn, and wants to decide for herself.
She is very closed, like her father. She loves her father very much but does not know him. She takes on his grief and emotions. Her father has never received love, so he cannot give love because his mother was very hard on him.
