Essence: confusion of roles with their loved one.

Confusion of roles with the loved one

They like their contact with their lover to be really meaningful.

They want there to be a mutual feeling of understanding and acceptance. But they feel that they have to put their own interests aside and adapt to the other persons feelings, otherwise there would be too many differences and the relationship wouldn't work. They also want to understand their partner on a very deep level, which is another reason why they go to great lengths to try and imagine what he thinks and feels. But they tend to take this a bit too far so that they lose sight of their own feelings. Then they get confused about whose feelings are whose. They are also inclined to leave all the decisions to their partner. Another situation where such a confusion may occur is in a relationship where their lover is not only their lover but also their doctor, therapist, teacher, boss.

Confusion of identity with their partner. When the situation gets very extreme they may end up in an identity crisis. They are so much in love that they want to be totally at one with their partner. They try and achieve this by taking on all his thoughts and feelings, they hear what he hears, they see what he sees, they start to act the same way he acts. It may even go as far as psychosis, where they start to hear voices telling them what to

do.

Triangular love relationships They tend to find themselves in relationship triangles, for instance by falling in love while they are married. This creates a lot of confusion, as they no longer know whom they really love, and they tend to get stuck in a state where they simply can't make up their mind. Or they fall in love with a married man or woman and end up in a similar confusion about whether this person really loves them.

Bewildered by jealousy The confusion about their relationships can make them very jealous. This jealousy may become so overwhelming that it in itself becomes a cause for confusion. They are not sure whether it is they or their lover who is the most jealous. They are afraid of this jealousy and try to hide it in case it breaks up the relationship.

Theorising in confusion

They may get swept along by their fantasy, seeing things that aren't there, imagining hidden meanings and getting totally confused by the most innocent remarks and actions of their lover.

They may even lose track of time and space.

Confused whether they are beautiful or ugly They may also be confused about anything to do with beauty. They don't know what harmony means and they take on other peoples ideas about it, which makes it difficult to decide from moment to moment what they really feel about something. One moment they think it is nice, the moment they are not so sure anymore. They may feel the same way about their own body.

Before she became psychotic she made a sculpture of a teacher she didnt get on with. She did this in an attempt to make him understand her instead of the other way round. She had been working very hard and became more and more rushed, until she ended up in a psychotic state. She was very fanatic, wanting to prove that the things she felt were really happening; she felt that everything was connected. She was very hyper, didnt sleep, experienced everything as very new and exciting. She lost all sense of time and she started hearing voices which told her to do things. She had delusions that everything was connected to everything else. She was also very much in love with another teacher and wanted to marry him. They did have an affair but he was also married, with 3 children. She allowed herself to be totally influenced by him, and copied him in everything she did. His remarks always took on a special meaning: she always felt hidden messages in them. She still dreams about this teacher, feeling they are still connected in some way. She still feels his influence in the way she works, as if she thinks like him. She had a dream in which she felt that he was sitting on the back of her bike, although she knew it wasn't really true. She has done a lot of sculptures, mainly with clay. Later on she started painting too. In her work she always feels hurried; she tends to lose herself and doesnt stop, especially before her menses. When she arrives somewhere after a journey she often feels she isn't really there yet. She wakes up in Switzerland, for instance, feeling she is still sitting in the train. It is as if her spirit travels more slowly than her body. She is afraid of flying and of lifts. She wants to stay on the earth, and is afraid of falling. She gets jumpy, and feels there are ghosts behind her. She sometimes gets paralysed with fear, for instance when she has to take an exam. She is afraid of the moment of falling asleep. She is also afraid of violence, with the fear of being wiped out. She has white spots on her nails. Generals Weather: cold, cold hands and feet. Time: (<) morning. Desires: potatoes, pasta, spaghetti. Aversion: meat. Menses: active, hurried, wants to tidy up the house before menses. Sleep: it takes two hours for her to wake up properly. Analysis Both during and after the psychosis she was very influenced by her boyfriend, and saw everything the way he did. This points to Aluminium (seeing things through someone else's eyes) sulphuricum (the lover). Her boyfriends (Sulphuricum) remark took on a double meaning (Aluminium). She had a dream in which she felt her teacher or lover (Sulphuricum) was sitting on the back of the bike with her, although she knew this wasn't really true (Aluminium). On top of all this there is a confusion of roles: her teacher is also her lover. Other Aluminium symptoms: psychosis, wanting to be understood, hurried, sees everything connected, busy, no sleep, no sense of time, commanding voices, sculptures made of clay, loses herself, her spirit travels more slowly than her body, fear of falling, ghosts, jumpy, being wiped out, cold, (<) morning and waking, (>) potatoes, pasta, (<) meat.

Reaction

One month after Alumina sulphuricum everything is much better.

She sleeps better, and wakes up more easily. When she went on holiday she felt she was really there from the first moment onwards. She dreamt that she wanted to reach her teacher and couldn't. This made her very angry. She has many angry dreams.

She feels more connected to the here and now. She is less afraid when swimming, no longer afraid of being dragged down. Her emotions are beginning to feel more as if they originate from her. Just after she took the remedy she had the sensation as if she had been working with clay for weeks. The white spots on her nails disappeared within two days.

A year later some of the problems came back. She started to get lost within a new relationship, but this time she was able to spot what was happening. Another dose of Aluminium sulphuricum worked straight away with good results.
