Relationship Anxiety - Emotional Dependency

[Loveaddict]

I am trying really hard to not text a person right now because it is not good for me. The urge feels too intense and more powerful than me

I know this and feel for you. I still answer calls and texts from an ex 4 years later and he is poison to me. Try your best. I am rooting for you.

think I know exactly what youre going through. I used to do that all the time, feels awful being left alone with your thoughts or maybe more accurately it feels awful being dependent on others for stimulation. I used to live vicariously through social media, basically I would lurk on peoples pages all day just trying to learn about them and their life. Not for any nefarious reasons just because I had no life of my own

thank you. How do you ever get over emotional dependency?

[Raggedy-Ann in reply to Loveaddict]

Google that question it gives you something to do and after a few videos or articles it might give you some strength... I need to do that too.

with time and practice. You have to be resilient, the feeling they provide to you can be found elsewhere you just have to look for it. Think of it like an addiction. The longer you go without the easier it gets.

Thank you for this! Really needed it

I will say, you can get over such by solely accepting that they are not for you. So, as they give up on you, please give up on them, let them be, and move on.

The relationship is strong and tough but if you are determined you can move forward.

Replace that individual. I am not saying to start a new relationship. That may be more catastrophic but, I am saying, get someone to talk to, chat with, or text, and spend some time with someone who is just like that person in your life. (There is a vacuum your separation from him has created and) it replaces the feelings your body desire from that individual and before long you must have forgotten how it feels being with him unless you go into a quiet thought on that subject.

But, I will say be cautious. Thanks.
