Essence: Adapting through fear of break up of the relationship.
Adapting through fear of break up of the relationship These people are very unsure of themselves. They don't know how to stand up for themselves, especially because they think that the other person will leave them if they do. So they tend to ignore their own needs to please others; they come across as being kind and very easy going.
Self criticism as a mother In their capacity of being a mother they feel a great lack of self confidence. They are afraid they can't take care of the children properly, so they are always busy trying to prove to themselves that they are capable. They have many anxieties about the children and tend to feel that they haven't done enough. They put their own needs aside out of fear that the children might grow up to feel as insecure and fearful as they do. They run around all day for their husband and children, but they like doing this unobtrusively. They don't want to push themselves to the foreground in any way, in case it looks as if they want too much for themselves.
Adapting to mother
When they are young they feel overawed by their mother. They are afraid of her criticism and they would rather do as she says. So they start helping her and doing little jobs around the house for her. But they don't get round to doing what they want for themselves. They devote themselves totally to the task of pleasing their mother in order not to lose her.
An uncertain mother
A variation on this theme is the situation where their mother lacks self confidence and is always criticising herself. She is always adapting to other peoples wishes until she has become a nobody and doesn't know who she is anymore. So the child would not know what a strong mother looks like, it has no example of how to stand up for itself. So it will stay stuck in the same kind of weakness.
Too insecure to dare to ask for pity
They are afraid of asking something for themselves. As soon as they ask the tiniest favour they are immediately afraid that the other person will think them a nuisance. The thought that others might think of them as attention seekers makes them feel even more inferior.
Unreal person
When things get even more extreme they may turn into a non- person. They have suppressed their own wishes for so long that there is nothing left of their own personality. All their own desires have been lost in their never ending care for other people.

Skin eruptions on chest and arms, red spots, (<)(<) sun. DD: Carbon series, Silicium series, stage 2 and 17. Case A 40 year old woman has an inflammation in the left heel. It is swollen and it hurts on pressure. It has been operated on several times, but this didn't help. Walking on bare feet aggravates, shoes with special support ameliorate the problem. Walking, especially walking on tip-toe, aggravates the shooting and drawing pains. She also suffers from headaches in the neck and base of the skull, radiating to the forehead. It feels as if she is wearing a tight bathing cap. The pain is worse when she is busy and better when she sleeps. It is worse in the beginning of the evening. She also had an ear infection on the left side, accompanied by fever. No discharge. Her jaws were very stiff at the same time. She still has pain in her ear on pressure. She has also suffered from a prolonged cold and sinusitis, with a cough with copious mucus, worse in the beginning of the evening. This is worse when she has to organise something in the evening, like a dinner party, when she has already had a busy day. She has problems with her mother, who sits on the sofa criticising her all day. She is afraid she will become just like her mother. She desperately tries to be easy going and kind. She apologises for things that are not even her fault, like the butcher giving them a piece of meat that is a bit on the tough side. On the rare occasion that she shouts at the children she quickly catches herself: I'm not turning out to be like my mother, am I? She is unsure of herself and wonders who she really is. She is afraid of showing her weakness. She goes along on a skiing holiday although she secretly hates it. She is afraid of appearing a bore, so she puts up a brave front. She is kindhearted and tries to please everybody. She tends to worry about the children. She does everything for her husband and children. When her children happen to look sad she immediately fears that they will have emotional problems later on in life. In everything she does in the house or with the children she is driven by an urge to do well. She is aware of everything she missed as a child and she wants to do better. Her mother used to be very kind towards her when she was younger. When she didn't want to go to school her mother let her stay at home. All her mother asked of her then was that she would do the shopping. Later on she realised that her mother was afraid to leave the house. This is still the case, which is why she always has to do little jobs for her mother. She is afraid of her mother and doesn't dare to stand up for her self. All she does is try to please her mother all the time. When she was 13 she once had a panic attack when she was being held by a much older girl. She was afraid of this fear: everything became hazy and she felt very pressurised. Generals Weather: warm hands and feet; (>) sea (2), (<) sun, (>) fresh and sunny; fear of thunder in childhood.
Perspiration: little.
Time: (<) 7 pm. Desires: sweet, chocolate, sour, spices, milk, coffee, vegetables, fruit. Aversion: fat, eggs. Food: (<) chocolate, spices. Menses: prolonged, spotting after menses. Analysis To summarise this case we could say that she feels very uncertain about herself as a mother. She has to achieve in all areas of making a home and raising the children, and is afraid of making mistakes. This aspect strongly indicates one of the Muriaticums. The uncertainty, the childishness, and the lack of courage remind us of the Carbon series. The typical way in which she puts herself aside for husband and children is very characteristic of Beryllium, which leads us to Beryllium muriaticum. She worries about the children (Muriaticum), afraid that they will develop emotional problems (Carbon series, Beryllium). She always wants to please (Beryllium) her mother (Muriaticum). Her mother (Muriaticum) was too afraid (Beryllium) to leave the house. Another key Beryllium symptom is: always wondering who she really is. Muriaticum symptoms: afraid of her mother, afraid of turning into a bitchy mother, afraid of being a bore, (<) extra cares after a busy day looking after home and family, (>) sea, (<) sun. little perspiration, prolonged spotting after menses.
Reaction One month after Beryllium muriaticum 1M she is a lot better, more relaxed, more self confident. She feels warm and nice inside. One month after that the fear that she will turn out to be like her mother has disappeared. She is able to get angry with her children without stopping half way. Looking after herself becomes easier, she's less inclined to be angry with herself. The children also give her more feedback.
After 4 months and 4 doses of
Beryllium muriaticum 1M everything feels lighter to her. No more heavy, dark feeling in her head. She feels more relaxed in her mothers presence, although she still doesn't dare to oppose her mothers wishes.
The headache and stomach pains were gone quite quickly. The pains in her heel didn't start to get better until several months later, but now, after 9 months, they are almost gone.
This is a new remedy.
