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...
I have been told this often, read it in Co-Dependent no more, and still have no idea what that means.
WHAT does it mean to 'deal' with your feelings? "Feel" your feelings?
Where does one start? What does it mean? How do you do it?

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...
Also been working on making a choice to not let some things bother me. Not able to sometimes, but I'm working on it.
In my mind that's "dealing" with my feelings. may not be right, but trying t get stabilized here.
if you are sad, cry. if you are happy, laugh. if you are angry, address your anger. if you are lonely, call a friend.
i think we just don't realize how little we actually feel when we begin recovery.
the first step for me was naming my feelings.
when i felt something come up i tried to name it and then i tried to determine why i was feeling that way.....
hope this helps.
it's not easy even though it seems so.
What this means is like the other poster said name your feelings. Be HONEST with yourself.
Also dont try and run away from them sit with the sadness for a little while if your sad. Don`t try and replace it with something else so you dont feel it. Your feeling it for a reason.
All our feelings are for reasons.If you run away from them you are not dealing with them.
Does this make sense? This doesnt mean dwell in the negative just acknowledge it feel it and move on.
