Essence: weakness of will because they have lost the right to exist.
Weak willed because they have lost the right to exist Their own sense of who they are is lacking to such an extent that they feel they don't have the right to exist. Sometimes a feeling of I have a right to be here may suddenly flare up and then they'll suddenly demand their own space, but soon afterwards they shrink back and daren't take anything for themselves anymore.
Doubt about the place where they live
Sometimes they don't know who they really are because they don't feel at home in their own country. They feel that they might feel much more at home in another town or another country.
They often think of moving to another, faraway place, but they can't decide. And if they do decide and go, they keep wondering whether that was the right decision. They might even move backwards and forwards between two places, until they really don't know where they belong anymore.
Changing ideas
They never have any clearly defined ideas, which is often the cause of their wavering moods. They are aware that they lack a solid base, and yet they don't want to nurture any ideals of their own. But they feel worthless, not having any ideas, so they might get obsessed with someone else's ideas, which they might exchange for yet another set of ideas at the drop of a hat.
Weakness of will viewed with humour
They can't bear to be teased, as this makes them feel even more useless. But on the other hand they have the ability to see the funny side of their own weakness and to make a joke about it that puts it all into perspective.
Emigration out of weakness
In a later stage they might feel so bad about their own weaknesses that the only solution is to emigrate. They want to go to a new country to start again and build up a strong new personality.

DD: Carbon series, Silver series, Stage 1 and 17, Arnica, badiaga, Carlsbad, Mancinella, Spongia, Titanium, Vanadium, Zincum. Case A 40 year old man suffers from restlessness. He works for an international contact agency, writing courses. He frequently travels to South America to give courses. He loves that country. He also likes Holland very much, and he lives here with his wife and four children. But part of him feels much more at home in South America, as he feels a deeper contact with the people over there. So he keeps wondering whether he should emigrate or not. He feels as if he is floating sometimes, as if he isn't grounded. And he can't sit still. He dreams of an enormous octopus sitting in the attic, waiting to catch him with its huge tentacles. He tries to run downstairs to escape, but he can't. He has trouble with his knees: they feel wobbly and he is afraid they'll give way. Generals Weather: (<) gloomy (3), (>) sun (3); (>) outside, (>) sea.
Perspiration: (<) excitement. Time: (<) evening, (<) 11 pm. Desires: soup (3), fruit (3), fish (2), salt. Aversion: mussels, fat, milk, alcohol. Food: coffee, smoking, alcohol. Analysis The main problem is that he doesn't know whether to emigrate or not. He keeps changing his mind (Lithium), can't decide about this emigration (Iodum). Another Lithium symptom is the fact that he feels so ungrounded. The dream tells us about the octopus, an animal from the sea (Iodum), whose tentacles he can't escape (Lithium, weak). Other Iodum indications: restlessness, teaching, international contacts, (>) outside, (>) sea, (>) fish, salt, (<) mussels.
Reaction
After Lithium iodatum he feels quieter, he doesn't get so worked up about everything. He doesn't take it out on his wife anymore when he is under pressure. He still loves South America but the dilemma about emigration has gone.
This is also a new remedy.
