Codependency Posted: 11-21-05 14:48pm
I just wrote before that I had a cutting
problem and I was sent to a hospital to
get help for it. Well ne ways while I was
there I was evaulated and doctors thought
I might have codependency. They gave me a
bunch of information on it and im sure if
u go to yahoo.Com or something and just
type in the word codepency u will probley
get a bunch of information about it.
Goodluck!

Be true to yourself. Do not let others
"govern" your emotional state. Try not
to let so much of your love out. It is a
radar and they know you "can be used" say
no, when you want to say no---dont just
say yes, cuz you feel they expect you to.
Do good things for yourself every day.
I went for years "but I am a christian,
shouldnt I be doing all these good things
for them" but somewhere I got lost in all
of that. It is good to do good things,
but not to the point you forget about you.
Love yourself first, cuz you can't truly
love anyone else until you do. I know
this is so easy for me to say now, but
there was a time, I couldnt even
understand what it all meant. .God told
me, "all these things you do are
wonderful, but you are doing them for the
wrong reason" I was doing it to prove to
them I loved them, and that I was a good
person. Trying to make them believe me,
when I spoke. To be accepted by them.
Now I learn, you cannot make anothers mans
opinion change, no matter what you do.
They will love you and respect you, no
matter bad you appear to them. They will
not love you and not respect you no matter
how good you are to them.
Do you understand the words that are
coming outta my mouth?? Lol
i hope you find the little girl tht is
hiding down inside of yourself and nurture
her to maturity. She is longing for you
to come back and get her--take her with
you. I wish I knew of a good book, but
this I learned all just from .God. I
asked .Him to let me know me. And in
turn I now know others the same way I know
me. It has been a wonderful journey--but
not without it's pain and
disappointments.
.God bless you--i hope you kind the way

Lots and lots and lots and lots of people
have codependency. Its a way a person
manages their needs and their needs within
relationships. Read a good book about it.

I suffer from codependency. I have
several books on it, but one book I
recommend is called codependent no more.
Read it!!!

i'm pretty sure casey wanted to see if
anyone else on these forums had
codependency or any advice about it...
Redirecting her to a search engine
probably won't be helping her out...
