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...

How about you?

If this really doesn't give you a fresh "codependent" slap to this face, what does? How many of us are on this site, and responding and aiding MORE to other's people's problems on here, instead of looking into our own? I find myself totally wanting to be a "responder" and not a "poster". Anyone else?

I feel you, there! I do post, but I am more of a "responder", just fits right in with my patterns... that is a sobering thought...

i do the same thing, but i do post some, of course not as much as in the beginning, i try to reread what i'm responding to and not be a hypocrite. sometimes it's self therapy. for example, i'll tell people not to be in contact with ex. and i have not been for 63 days so i do try hard to practice what i preach. i find it's all helpful to me, reading and responding.

gotta give it away to keep it, as they say in al anon.
i think when you feel comfortable you will become a "poster".
gotta have a bit of recovery under your belt before you can really be helpful.
giving and taking is all about doing it judiciously...in our own best interest.
saving the world begins when we save ourselves!

I beleive I post and respond pretty equally. Many times I find that what someone posts is exactly about where I myself am at too.

I don't post discussions too often, but I will respond from time to time, when I feel I have something to offer. I do still keep a journal and that's important to me. It IS easy to read about other's problems and want to try to fix it.

We are all here to learn on grow. Our journey sometimes may consist of more responding or posting. Whatever it takes to heal as long as we are here and here for each other. Either way, you learn. That's whats important.

    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...
