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 going to counseling for depression, but have come to the realization, that what is really wrong is that I am not dealing with my issues of Codependency.
So here I am taking my first of what I'm sure will be many steps in dealing with this.
What are some suggestions for me to move forward.
I'm reading Codependent no more. letting my counsler know how I feel and see if we can start dealing with this.
But any suggestion are ery much appreicated.
Thanks. Campyone

It really really helps if you could find some codependents anonymous meetings in your area and go to them. Nothing replaces the identification you will feel and the support you'll find. It has helped me a lot. Good luck.

An excellant "Boudary" book here;

And the book can be got through the library.

We all need healthy boundaries, and no one gets through recovery without going through the boundaries.

I recommend keeping a journal. I write often, especially when I have a particularly rough time, or when I have a breakthrough. It helps me maintain some perspective. I can look back on things and see what worked and what did not.

Thanks for the suggestions. I found a Alanon meeting in my area going to start that back up. Also having my son go to Alateen. I don't want my son to have to deal with the smae stuff.
