- I'm really confused about what to do. I'm a teacher and opt to get paid throughout the summertime, and have money put into the summer bank so that I will be paid through the summer. For the past 18 years, my paycheck has been the same throughout...
- It is difficult enough to begin "the work," to go into a recovery/reflection of any sort no matter what the reason. Even more difficult to realize that you are turning 50 years old and still experiencing some of the same things. The good news is...
- An old friend had gotten in contact with me and wanted to hang out. We got together a few weeks ago and I was not sure if he was interested. I was just starting to wonder if he was. He got my number and said he would like to get together again. ...
- I've been trying not to overfocus too much on the friend that has come back into my life, but I don't know if I'm doing a very good job of it. I can't determine if I'm just lonesome and want to replace my relationship, and he is here...I don't...
- I guess for some reason I just needed to sit here and chill out. On Fridays I usually sort of feel like I am "supposed" to go somewhere and am "supposed" to be doing something. But, at the end of the workweek all I want to do is just sit on my...
- It occurred to me that I feel somewhat attracted to my friend, but as I'm thinking about it further, something tells me that he is extremely avoidant and noncomittal in relationships, and that I would be really let down by him. I'm not sure what...
- Has anyone ever felt worse after therapy? Usually I feel better, but I came back today and started crying a lot. I don't know if I was just feeling numb about my situation or avoiding it, but the things that were bothering me I started talking a...
- One of the characteristics of codepdendence is a hard time accepting compliments and praise, it's actually on the list when it's read aloud at meetings.It was interesting, the other night, I was having dinner with a friend and he was saying while we...
- Hello,This actually is not a depression post, but I am looking for some advice if people are willing to do that. I actually had an amazing couple of days. I took a day off and paid off my car and one of my credit cards, and had an interview at...
- So, like a lot of people with codependency issues, I have people in my life who are clingy, needy, dependent, bossy and manipulative. These behaviors can work both ways in the codependent dynamic. We can play this role toward others or they play...
- So, today is Mother's Day and I always have a lot of angst around holidays. This constant discomfort that comes up around all of them. Usually this vague discomfort and depression that leads up to the day. I'll try to make a long story short,...
- So I had a boyfriend before the pandemic from a social group that I went to. He broke up with me in Mar 2020 right before lockdown. It was terrible. I loved him SO much. He unfortunately was a narcissist. I even cried about it until late...
- I'm still having such a hard time with my work situation. I've posted about it before, but it really got to me today. I graduated with a certificate for a new career and just cannot seem to even get an interview. It's just a growing pile of...
- So I am really at a crossroads. I am going to try to keep a long story short, but that is hard to do sometimes.In a nutshell, I was on the receiving end of domestic violence with my family of origin for many years, and even though I had moved out...
- I don't know what my problem is. I had so much to do today and ended up coming home and falling asleep. I had really wanted to go hiking and clean my bathroom, and then maybe do something this evening, but for some reason got off on a tangent...
