Codependency Support Group
Codependency is defined as someone who exhibits too much, and often inappropriate, caring for another person's struggles. 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...
Pretty much My girlfriend went to rhode island with her best friend for a week. We've pretty much been together for 7-8 months straight and there hasn't been a day I haven't seen her.
The week coming up to this I have had a lot of anxiety. Haven't been able to sleep the last few nights, sleeping pills or not. The morning she left I fell a sleep an hour b4 she left. So I didn't get to really see her or what not b4 she left. Honestly... I felt like shit when I woke up at 7pm. I felt very depressed. However, I did the only thing I could think of that would keep me sain. I called my old buddies. Which... is very risky, my old basketball buddies are druggies.
I relapsed yesterday, and although it's very sad... I can't help but feel okay with it. I had fun, I enjoyed having my friends over. I didn't miss my gf. It's been close to a day and a half now, and my buddies are still at my apartment. Good thing they are broke so I have no temptation. Just venting and letting go of the feelings I have inside.

Its easy to become accustomed to having someone there, a warm body if you will. But sleeping is the same as being awake.
We all need to be able to stand our own company first. Once you are comfortable with yourself, sleeping alone or being alone don't matter.
You're right to focus on your friends and having fun so you don't think about this girl. It's tough to unlearn neuro pathways that you've become accustomed to, but you can replace those neuro pathways with other neuro pathways that are equally pleasurable and healthier!
