How to get over codependency.
I am currently in a codependent relationship. And I am the codependent one of the two of us. We have been together for over two years and love each other very much. We decided tonight that it is best to go on a break for a little bit. We aren’t broken up, just taking space for ourselves. One of the main reasons for this break is my codependency. I feel absolutely horrible about this and I have been trying really hard recently to get out of that mindset. I truthfully don’t know what to do. I am in therapy again and just recently started back on my anxiety medication. I know that I have a lot of interpersonal issues and things to work on. The advice I’m looking for is from other people that are aware of their own codependency.
I am constantly worried about him and always want to know how he is and that he’s okay. And I crave reassurance. Rightfully so, this became exhausting for him as it would anyone. I just need tips on how to take care of myself and to put myself first. I love him so much and he told me he loves me the same. Any tips or advice in this situation would be so appreciated and helpful.
(This is a relationship that we BOTH want to fix, any comments telling me to leave him will be ignored)
