A codependent person may try to change, or feel shame about their most private thoughts and feelings if they conflict with the other person's struggles. If you are on a journey towards self-love, this support group is for you. Join us and find others...

Hey! I am new here also and believe I'm codependent....if not totally, then pretty close. I have gotten involved in my church and have begun making some very good friends. I've also gained a lot of insight and ideas from different posts on this sight. The people here are super. There's several books that people have suggested too. Hang in there and keep talking. It really helps. Write in your journal...that helps too.

welcome! check out the "recommendations" tab and you will see lots of stuff.
in the meantime, ya might want to consider calling yourself something other than "pathetic jerk"....
what we tell ourselves is what we believe about ourselves.
your life may suck right now but if you want to work hard, it will get better.
blessings!

I agree with Afloat. Self-defeating language is a big problem for me too and I did not even realize how much I do it until I started paying attention to it, but yours is very obvious. This site is great and you will find some great answers here to things you think no one else can really understand. Keep looking around and you will find a lot of resources here. This site is the best thing that has happened to me in a while.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
