- Exhausted.I am so tired of trying to catch up to all of the BS these days.....I am totally exhausted. I went to Europe a couple of weeks ago and came back to a tsunami of sh*t at work, at home, friends crud, family crud, yadda yadda....bada...
- Turn and face the strange......So for approximately the last year I have come to this site and aired some grievances I was having with my job. I am so grateful for this site for that and the people who walked me thru my journey, not allowing me to...
- Cutting my nose to spite my face......So a previous discussion I had started was related to my job and how frustrated I am with the problems of communication on this project I am on. The continual 'too many cooks' in the kitchen aspect of this...
- I have been struggling daily with some issues that occurred with work. I am trying diligently to let it all go but it seems with each day a new issue arises which re-invigorates my original issue and as well is 'added to the list'. I have had...
- So I thought I would share an experience which awakened me to my Co-Dependency being alive and kicking. I think one of the things that we can easily forget as Co-Dependents, is what we perceive as "being nice and loving", is in fact actually,...
- For the last 28+ years my father and older half sister have been the bane of my existence and mainly because of the conversations between my mother and I. They both are literally mentally ill and literally abusive and volatile people who have done...
- I cannot even express what this feeling is, I don't know why this bothers me, but it just does. Thankfully I was able to draw a boundary about it today......but here is the story.My dad and mom split when I was 6 months old, a gnarly family...
- So on Thanksgiving my cousin came up, she is an alcoholic and proceeded to drink 2 bottles of champagne from 11-3. She was ok for the most part but her mouth has always been a trouble maker.So we were sitting there and she decided to bring up this...
- So you know, the nice thing about being Co-Dependent is that I have the other person who is creating the chaos, so I don't have to deal with my own; hurting MY feelings, the person I have to "deal with", or rescue, the one that I am so happy to...
- So today my Project Manager wrote me and my boss an email praising me for a job well done on a project I managed back in Jan/Feb.....I was literally jumping out of my skin with glee to hear from him. And no less getting praised for a job well done...
- Is messengee even a word?So to provide some history; I had 2 good friends who when I first was hanging out with both of them, I had some red flags I ignored them like any good co-dependent would do and accepted them regardless. I remember the...
- Sooooooo it seems, most people have trigger issues in their Co-Dependancy and the relationships with their spouse or their children or a family member and it is their constant, I have varying ones that seem to affect me in different ways.I had mine...
- So now we have all started sharing our pics, and a lot of us have done moral inventories on ourselves, bared our souls on our problematic areas......how about ending this week on a high note and start by giving ourselves pats on the back for the...
- But first it will piss you off.I have been on this site now for a couple of months. There seem to be a variety of layered issues we all bring to the table here and we all provide feedback, lots of lovey dovey, I understand you and hopeful messages...
- Soooo I went on my vacation....I enjoyed being away from my life for 10 days. Unplugging from the day to day mundane work mode, paying bills, blah blah blah.....but found myself almost paralyzed while on the trip.I have discovered a few things...
