The name's Belle. I'm 23 years old and currently an unemployed student. I'm very laid back, bubbly, energetic, enthusiastic, and even a bit sarcastic. I do have my faults though, as I am often critical, hot-headed, stubborn, and lazy. I'm using this blog to, hopefully, help others deal with their codependency and other issues because I'm going through the same process.
I have always been codependent, but I did not realize it until just recently after some issues with my mother. Since then I have been going to therapy regularly to seek help with coping, grieving, healing, and moving forward. I went in with the goal that I was going to change how I act, not how my mother acts. I cannot change her, but I can change me. That is very important when going into therapy, I think, because people often want to change their surroundings and get no where. I've done this for years thinking it would make me happy, but it hasn't. After failed attempts of changing my surroundings and people, I realized that it's me who needs to change.
The therapy has been going extremely well; although I'm still learning and coping every single day. Through the therapy, I have realized that I want to help others if I can with issues that may be the same or similar. That's why I'm here. I'm happy to be here and I hope I can help at least one person. Thank you for reading!
Regards,
Belle Monroe
