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...

your ego is now invested in keeping your lowerself engaged now that your higherself is starting to develop.
the same ol thoughts get pissed when ya start thinking new healthy ones and that causes the brain to get a little crossways.
but it does pass.
i take it slow and breathe deeply.
i was just thinking about how recovery from codependency is similar to labor and delivery of a child.
every woman experiences the same end result and pretty much the same process (water breaks or not, contractions, dilation, pushing etc) but we all experience it differently and in our own way.
you are experiencing, imho, textbook symptoms of recovery.
and that is a good thing!!!!
you are not alone and completely normally abnormal.
ha! love to you

Prayer and meditation, and medication for a short while, along with attending my meetings and reading a lot of literature - well this has been my sustenance. I'm just now starting to feel safe pursuing goals outside of recovery now.
I think it's a matter of finding that person that we lost in ourselves. It's an awkward phase. Trying on new likes and dislikes, comforts and discomforts, learning about our feelings and what those feelings are telling us.
"Easy does it" and "one day at a time." I do think that this is natural, and with me it seemed to calm itself down in its own time.
AAAAAHHHH! It hurts like hell! LOL
