Women who Love too Much Community Group
WHEN BEING IN LOVE, MEANS BEING IN PAIN... This group is to help women through the journey of realizing they can love themselves. To help realize that they are capable of having a happy, healthy, whole relationship and break the cycle of abuse and heartache from loving emotionally unavailable men.
It sounds cliche, but it's all about loving yourself enough to know that you deserve better, and be happy enough on your own to end the relationship.
I highly recommend checking out a 12 step group. Norwood recommends these in her book as the best way to heal. I'm in a 12 step group and it's helped me enormously.
I've been really anxious even with daily stuff, I've been having some anxiety attacks and this isn't how love should feel like... this isn't love, it's probably obsession. I'll try to repeat that sentence in my mind, thank you very much. first boyfriend you know? I've always had some trust issues and this one that I trusted....I just feel vandalised.
@goingup how can I join one of those? and what are they all about?
Often obsession is our way of avoiding problems in our own life. We distract ourselves by thinking about them, and get that temporary 'high' to feel good. It is very much like an addiction. Unfortunately, thinking about them distracts us from focusing on our own life and we get further and further behind. It sounds like this is happening to you with your grades. By the way, you don't have to feel happy for him that he is doing well. Do you think he feels sad for you that you are doing poorly? I doubt it. Dont feel obligated to give more than he deserves.
12 step groups are different depending which you go to. I attend a group for codependency called 'codependent anonymous'

Click on the link. In CoDA, people learn to heal their problems by growing their own spirituality, and looking at their own issues with help of a sponsor.
I think CoDa is great for anyone who has obsession and addictin involving relationships and other people. I highly recommend you check it out and see if there is a group in your area. There are groups all over the world.
