Hi Everyone, welcome back. I am Roslyn Saunders, Co-dependency and Addiction Coach Specialist.
Today’s video is a continuation of my last one about some of the abusive things we do to ourselves in the codependency cycle. As I said in the last video, I want to share some of the behaviours we engage in when we experience low self-worth and self-abuse.
One thing I call the “codependent crazies.” When we’re in the codependent crazies, it’s absolute insanity, and we do things we wouldn’t do if we were of sound mind. I want to raise awareness about the condition of codependency and how it presents in our lives, so here are some things you might relate to.
This is from my book, page 142:
- Texting a new or former partner obsessively, unable to stop, even when they haven’t responded.
- Checking social media profiles in a way that could be interpreted as stalking.
- Butting into people’s conversations without listening.
- Leaving underage children alone at home to search for a partner or friend with addiction problems.
- Driving past a former partner’s home or the home of someone you’re obsessed with.
- Allowing a partner to drive with you and your children in the car when they’re under the influence of alcohol.
- Overworking to the point of burnout, becoming unproductive, or even not showing up to work.
- Being generally unpleasant to be around because codependency has overtaken you.
These are things to check in with yourself about and get help for. These are conditions of codependency, of not being connected with ourselves and not putting ourselves first.
Doing recovery work is essential. Thank you.
