Discouragement and Despair

DISHARMONY: An excessive sense of duty, a heroic attitude, an inability to let go, and a tendency to downplay one’s own problems and needs

POSITIVE QUALITIES: Perseverance , flexibility, helpfulness.

Edward Bach's definition of this remedy:

“For those who struggle, they fight hard to recover or to carry out the tasks of daily life. They never tire of trying one thing after another, even when their situation seems hopeless. They keep fighting. They are dissatisfied with themselves if their illness interferes with their duties or their ability to help others. They are courageous people who battle great difficulties without losing heart or holding back.”
