i am finally checking in---i am going though some changes and long over due changes which i need even though i am scared. the one change is letting go of a unhealthy/co/dependant relationship----she is getting me sooo down and i need to move on. i make myself crazy being around her.

i am into my second week of work and its going fine. i am tired and cold and wishing that i could go back to bed this morning.

I just ended a dysfunctional friendship too. It's sad when we realize the type of relationship it has turned into, isn't it? But when we realize this person causes us more discomfort than pleasure, it's not fair to either party to continue interacting. Congrats.

I do agree that it causes more unpleasure discomfort then pleasure so it is time to move on and enjoy life.

Definitely first one month of letting go is toughest part i ever had to get through with... My feelings and thoughts drove me nuts...Had every intention of going back to relationship that was futile. Therapy, Books, friends, Gym, CoDA and prayers help me to sail through........ Hard but was possible.
My therapist said try atleast to do 30 day no contact and yes i did and i was completely surprised to find myself that i lost somewhere in that enmeshed relationship..... I am happy to see me and now i try never to loose myself again ...
