Gorse 荊豆

Used for feeling mired in a dormant state of melancholy. People who need Gorse are unmotivated to change their situation believing that there is absolutely no prospect for improvement.
​Neither will they seek help from others, either through fear of inconveniencing them or because they genuinely believe no one is able to help. 

Negative emotion causing unhappiness:
Disheartened / Given up hope of change

​Positive emotion encouraged by the Essence:
Renewed hope / Faith
