    Hi,

    I am still in my recovery process from people pleasing, letting myself down for others…some phases are hard, as they are new, bur i know they are mandatory
    Sometimes i feel like something is missing or as if i do something wrong just because it is not the same

    Thank you for the check!
    I hope i will feel free from my own thoughts on this topix soon

    Hello Anita, Martha

    Thanks for the replies. I have done a “detox” from internet, instagram, etc

    To be honest, i am changing.
    It’s hard some days, I feel guilty for putting boundaries in place, but it’s also relieving
    When i feel anxiety very high, i don’t shut it down like before
    I let it feel, act, even it is very uncomfortable and i just think ” this is my old people pleasing pattern. I will let it pass”

    It’s not easy and feelings of guilt arrise more than before as i step in a new “way” of dealing…but i hope one day i will look back and think ” all this work was worth it!”

    This forum was very relieving for me. Thank you for your stories as well…

    Martha, i am sorry for yoyr situation and i hope you will be better!!!

    This was direct to my heart&soul.
    Yes, i am afraid of my friend to go in dark places and i also didn’t wanted to be the “push” button for him to go there.
    But i see this js an irrational fear now…and this worry was way too heavy for me now to carry it on
    I started setting boundaries, which comes with a lot of anxiety as this is not my way of normally doing, but it is good for me.

    I haven’t expected these many answers…i am reading this blog for years now and now i can see why it is so special.

    Thank you!!!!
