Among other things — I’m recovering from a lifetime of people pleasing. Setting new boundaries always gives me a sense of deep sorrow. Like something bad is going to happen now, and life is all wrong. Terrible feeling

Boundaries are so important for your own personal mental health. You need to look after yourself. Don’t feel bad be proud of taking the step to stand up for yourself.

Oh I hear you! I just finished 30days in treatment and working on codependency was one of my goals and will continue to be! It is very hard for me to say no and not feel like I need to make everyone happy- now I’m ready to make ME happy! There is CoDa 12step meetings- I will be attending also. All the best to you :heart:

I can totally identify with you! What a great opportunity to learn how to positively please yourself, while learning to identify people's wants vs needs in your life. Reach out anytime and congratulations!
