Zirconium Muriaticum

I do not believe this is a proven remedy. You will only get information about it by using the Periodic Table themes proposed by Jan Scholten.

Essence: officially starting to show your creations.
--Officially starting your creations -
They are at the start of their creative or scientific career. It is the time of the first job, or the opening of their own practice or the first official exhibition. They have many new ideas and they really want to do something with it. They have got something new and unique to offer and are ambitious to put it into practice.
Consolidating their own ideas.
They want to give expression to their ideas, to put it into practice. They want to break with the old routine orientated patterns and make room for their creative impulses. Tired of adapting to other peoples ideas they want to develop their own creations.
--Semi-ambitious -
But they are still a bit unsure of themselves too. They know they have the right idea, but will they be able to make it work? Won't there be too much opposition, will it turn out to be just castles in the air? Will other people appreciate the ideas they are so enthusiastic about? They can't be sure how it will turn out in reality.
--Failure at the start of their creative career -
They have a tendency to fail as soon as they start to express their creative inspirations. Then they start to doubt themselves and collapse.

Essence: letting go of relationships: splitting up.
--Letting go of relationship -
Their relationship with others isn't very good. The relationship has always been there, but they know that it has come to an end and they have to let go. It is inevitable that all things come to an end sooner or later, but they have a tendency to want to postpone the moment. They feel the right time hasn't come yet and they are not ready to sever the bond.
Holding on to relationship: mother-child
A typical situation is that of a mother and child. It is a relationship that has to end one day, when the child has grown up and should go his own way. But up until that time the relationship is inevitable and very strong. The child has to hold on to his mother in order to survive, sometimes in the most literal sense of the word. The mother is also 'condemned' to this relationship; she can't escape from the situation without endangering the life of her child.
--Letting go of everything for the sake of someone else: mother -
A mother is also inclined to let go of everything for the sake of her child, especially when her child is in danger. She is constantly tuned in to the needs of her child: when the child cries at night she is there before anyone else has even noticed.
Relationships with needy people: care, nurturing
They tend to look for people in need. This way they make sure that the other person will not easily let go, because their need will make them want to hang on to the relationship. Care and nurturing is an important theme here. They like helping other people and create a bond based on the care they provide.
Another possibility is that they need a lot of care and attention themselves and use this fact to create a bond. This is a natural sort of situation when a child is very small and he needs his mother all the time, but it may continue if the child acts helpless and dependent for many years.

--Holding on to communication: attention -
Attention is another central theme. They need and demand a lot of attention. Attention is something to bask in, like a cat who sits on exactly that piece of newspaper that you are trying to read.
Or they may give a lot of attention, again to keep the communication going.
--Demanding communication: self-pity -
They can be very demanding in their relationships, like a baby who cries insistently when he is hungry. They are afraid of losing the other person and try to avoid this by continuously holding their attention.
When the relationship does get broken they feel extremely sad and bitter. But they don't talk about it, although their bitterness is more than obvious from their behaviour. Their air of self-pity is designed to attract the other person's attention and persuade him or her to put an arm around their shoulder and make it up again.
The end of a relationship: sadness
They may find themselves in a situation where they have lost a child, a relative or a friend. They are very afraid of such a thing happening, very afraid of disease and death and being left behind. They feel emotionally abandoned and daren't go on in life on their own.
Or they daren't leave home when they have grown up, so they remain with their family indefinitely.

--Letting go of relations and family: alone -
They feel they have nobody left in the world and are condemned to spend the rest of their days in loneliness and bitterness. They can spend endless hours brooding about how it used to be and how it would have been if the other person was still there. They cannot let go of their love, nor of their hate. They become introverted and keep staring at their own navel, so to speak. Others are not important anymore, and they avoid contact with the rest of their friends and family. A baby in an incubator is an example of a human being who has been emotionally abandoned.
Letting go of relations: anti-social
In extreme situations they might stop seeing other people even when there is no valid reason. Their behaviour becomes anti-social and they don't take other people's feelings into consideration.
An example of such a situation is that of a foundling, where a mother has put the baby in a basket and left it on a doorstep somewhere. The antisocial conditions of the society she lives in may have forced the mother to go to this extreme, such as if she would lose her job and her income if she has a child, or if she is an unmarried mother and the customs of the country make it impossible for her to keep the child.

Zirconium muriaticum would show a blending of the two sets of characteristics.

For example,

Letting go of starting an artistic career.

Failure at the beginning of of a creative project causes them to flee from relations and family.

and so on.
