codependent personality?

[sweetpea03]

I was going through workbook pages for my stress management class, and one of them had been all about personality types. We had to go through the page, checking off things that were relevant to us. After looking at all that I marked, it showed me as a codependent personality type. I had never really thought about it or realized it until now. Thinking about it now, I did everything for my bf and always put him before myself. I came second to him always. I know I need to work on it, but where do I even start? wow, I feel so pathetic. haha.

I think it is so easy for others to say to just start being independent. I too am very codependent. To the point to where it has kept me in an unhealthy relationship for some time now. I am just plain scared of sitting at home alone and not being with him every waking minute like its always been. I wish I knew the answer. And if you find the answer, tell me. I feel empty when I am alone.

Becoming more independent would be a start... So, do things by yourself; for yourself;
or, put yourself first every now and then. Not everything we do in life has to include or revolve around other people.
