This is a codependency online journal. It is for people who have allowed other people's problem to become their own.
Codependency becomes “normative“. If a codependent person becomes involved with another person who has healthy boundaries, the codependent person still doesn‘t know any other way to operate unless they‘ve gotten help and intervention .
This means a codependent person is unlikely to have a relationship with someone who has healthy boundaries. This only reinforces the cycle of codependency. A codependent will continue to use the same system of coping unless they get help.
Codependency in relationships is often part of an addictive or depressive syndrome or both.
Anxiety and panic attacks can also take place. Codependency is unsustainable over time, usually eroding the family system or work situation or other forms of interpersonal relations.
The solution is to work extra hard at clarifying your boundaries, keeping everyone's responsibilities separated, and becoming committed to looking after your own interests in the face of demands to do otherwise.
Use your journal as a tool in your continuing journey of self-discovery mastering the art of self care.
