To stop being codependent, you have to first understand it and the role it plays in your relationships. You can offer support instead of control, allowing others to manage their own life.

Whenever I feel stressed, anxious, mad, or even excited, I always try to listen to what I need. Take a second to pause, breathe, and think because it will all work out and be okay.

Emotional well-being is about expressing and managing your feelings successfully. The way we process everything depends on our ability to decide what will and will not affect us.

When you decide you’re in a toxic relationship and want to end the friendship, hopefully the person will step back as you cease any contact and refuse to be pulled into the fire.
