Essence: having to continue to be successful and be a good mother.
Success and motherhood must continue
They want to combine their creative career with motherhood, but they feel it is all too much. They feel they have enough creative ideas left inside them, but it is a matter of having to keep up the steady flow. And this is not easy because circumstances are against them. Having to take care of the children sucks out all their creative energy. This way they may even regard their children as enemies who are trying to take success away from them.
Reproducing success in order to be cared for
They may go through life with the feeling that they have to continue their successful performance otherwise nobody will care for them anymore. They not only have to keep up their schoolwork, they also have to do extra creative activities on the side, like music lessons, or acting lessons, otherwise mother wont be happy and wont take care of them anymore. They might even forge their school reports in order to be appreciated.
Powerless against your mother
Their own mother often felt the same need to develop her artistic talents and stay in touch with the art world or scientific developments. But motherhood forced her to give up her brilliant scientific career and for this she secretly blames the children.
She is is expressed either through criticism or through projecting their own desires on to them, forcing them to be high flyers in the arts or sciences. But this has nothing to do with real love and nurturing. And gradually the children will begin to feel powerless against their mother. They can't compete with her use of language, her cleverness and her power. Her dramatic behaviour takes all power away from them and eventually they will see her only as their enemy.
Powerless as a mother
Another variation is that they feel powerless as a mother. This may be the result of having too little time for the children because they are too caught up in their creative career. It may also be because they didn't receive much care themselves when they were little and therefore feel unable to cope with children, it all feels very unnatural to them. Because they feel they haven't given enough love to their children, they tend to compensate by giving them anything they ask for, which in turn leads to a feeling of powerlessness later on when they daren't deny the ever growing demands.
Dwindling talents leads to self-pity
They are very sensitive to criticism, especially where their way of handling motherhood is concerned. But they are also sensitive to criticism of their artistic achievements. On the whole they tend to be easily insulted, feeling that they are being treated unfairly, always afraid of being pushed aside. In order to maintain their successful career they may take it upon themselves to start looking after influential people, hoping of course that they will safeguard their position.
As soon as they feel that appreciation of their talents is waning they become quite pessimistic and start to wallow in self-pity.
They don't want to meet other people anymore because they will only be trodden on. They usually don't show their unhappiness.

Neck pains; stiffness. Arm problems.
Ulcers, blisters and vesicles on lips; herpes.
Skin eruptions, on chest and arms, red spots, (<)(<) sun. DD: Silicium series, Silver series, Stage 12 and 16. Case A 50 year old woman suffers from a stomach ulcer. She complains of nausea, water in the mouth and vomiting, worse from the smell of burning and meat. When she exerts herself lifting heavy things or pressing too much during stools she also has to vomit. Warm milk makes her feel better. She doesn't have much pain, only a feeling of pressure just before vomiting. The stomach complaints started after she had a lump removed from under the skin over her stomach. This happened when she had problems with her husband, a strict military type who already had four children. Everything was fine until she got two children herself and from then on life became hell. Her husband demanded her undivided attention the whole time and always told the children to shut up and be quiet and to clear up their mess. As soon as the lump on her stomach had been discovered she knew it was a sign that she should choose for her children and get a divorce. After the divorce she felt relieved, eager to be there for her children. But on the other hand she also felt guilty that she was taking the children away from their father. She had an unhappy childhood, the relationship with her mother was extremely difficult. Her mother used to make negative comments all the time: You are stupid and useless, you will never get anywhere, you will never get married, you are too masculine etc. Her older sister added to her misery by confirming everything the mother said. Even now she starts to tremble in fear whenever she visits her sister, totally unable to move or speak. She feels powerless because she never received any acknowledgement, especially not from her mother. She always had to fight to achieve anything. Her mother had sent her to boarding school in the hope that she might be able to get a diploma. She always looked to her mother for a bit of love and attention but she never got it. She did her best to be a good girl, but her mother didn't even notice. She is still a kind type of person, but she cannot stand up for herself. Her son asked if he could borrow the car for three whole weeks and she had great difficulty saying no. He said: I thought you wouldn't , which made her think: Why do you ask then?. She had a strange dream that she cut off the tops of the fingers of her left hand while lots of people were looking on; she was very calm about it all and nobody amongst the group of onlookers took any notice. She dressed her wounds and, as before, nobody bothered to take help her. She teaches sowing and needlework and she is the only one of her sisters who has gone to college. She started college on her own initiative, that ll teach them!. She was desperate to prove herself. Later on she tried to retrain in textile designs, but couldn't keep it up. It all got a bit too much. She had a breakdown and had to resign because there was no possibility for her to work part time. She feels she was never able to fully enjoy her children because of the pressure of work. It is a sense of loss which also makes her feel guilty. She tends to be a bit heavy and pessimistic, always sensing trouble when there is none. She likes her freedom and can't stand rules and regulations. Medicines tend to wipe her out and she wont tolerate this. She is very black and white in her points of view, yes means yes and no means no. She likes to be busy, it makes her feel good. She gets discontented when she is idle. When she meets people she either likes them or she doesn't and in the latter case she is not interested in getting to know them better. Generals Weather: (<) gloomy weather (2), (>) fresh air, sea, space; cold feet.
Perspiration: during hot flushes, especially on the head, which ameliorates.
Time: (<) 9 am. Desires: bread, vegetables, meat, sweet, chocolate, coffee. Aversion: sour (3), onion, garlic, spices. Food: (<) cooked food, sour, meat. Menses: every 5 to 6 weeks; active and sleepless before menses. Sleep: difficulty getting asleep (2), (<) waning moon (2), thunder, snow, (>) after dinner; wakes frequently, (<) 5 am, (<) restless legs; sleeps on abdomen. Physical: (>) motion.
Analysis
Her remark that she feels powerless against her mother is in itself almost enough to prescribe Cadmium muriaticum. She doesn't dare to say no (Cadmium) to her son (Muriaticum). Through her work with textile designs (Silver series) she feels that she hasn't been able to fully take care of her children (Muriaticum).
She feels powerless (Cadmium) because she never received any recognition (Silver series) from her mother (Muriaticum). She cannot stand up (Cadmium) to her husband who demanded all her attention and told her children (Muriaticum) to be quiet. She dreams that she cuts the fingers off her left hand (Silver series) with a knife (Stage 12) and nobody cared (Muriaticum) for her.
There are other confirming symptoms for the Muriaticum aspect: she wants to do everything for her children and often feels guilty towards them. She tends to get pessimistic and feel sorry for herself. Other Muriaticum generals: (<) sour, (<) gloomy weather, (<) waning moon, (>) sea, (>) bread.
Confirming symptoms for Cadmium: sleeplessness, (<) 5 am, teacher, textile design (art), stomach problems.
Reaction
After Cadmium muriaticum she soon starts to feel better. She is climbing out of the pit and wont be dragged down anymore. She wrote down her experiences of her childhood which released a lot of sadness.
Other remedies that had worked partially before Cadmium muriaticum: Kali iodatum, Gaultheria, Ginkgo biloba, Zincum metallicum.
Cadmium muriaticum is a new remedy.
