Just write a listener and see what happens. If you are feeling like nothing helps, please tell your family or friend. You can also call a helpline. Talking also helps.

7 cups is a great app to talk to people about things you’re going through. Going to the doctor to get medication is also another choice that would be good. You don’t always need therapy! You can even try talking to friends and family. That could possibly be your therapy if you can’t go see a professional. Letting your feelings out to your friends, family, or even people around you... can be very helpful sometimes. Letting go of what’s in your head is sometimes a good thing. Even if you don’t want to talk about it. It’s always nice!

Talking on 7 Cups to a listener is a good way to slowly think about some of the issues that you are facing. Take the time to reach out for a supportive chat and see how things go. You may find that having someone to listen is helpful in figuring out the feelings of a lack of independence and while the listeners can not specifically advise you of what to specifically do they can help listen to your ideas and thoughts. Having to confidence to move forward means that you are very brave and reaching out to talk to listeners can be a positive experience that helps with your personal journey.

Come to 7cups like I did. Talk to your parents or friends or other relatives. Utilize healthy coping skills like drawing and music. You can talk to a teacher or a guidance counselor those guys are helpful too. You could also try to get financial help through your school or another government organization that may help pay for your therapy. You could try journaling. Just write down everything you would say if you were talking to a therapist and then read it out loud if that helps. You have to find what works for you and stick with it. I don't know if I was helpful but it's just my opinion...

Codependency is a struggle that may be stemming from loneliness, which may be coming from depression. Feeling like you cannot be away from another person is a difficult situation, because it leads to an emptiness when you do happen to be away. Codependency can lead to feelings of insecurity, worthlessness and frustration. Connecting to a listener on 7cups, working through mental health worksheets that you can print out, trying to spend more time focusing on your self-care and trying to connect with other friends are all healthy ways of coping with both codependency and depression. There will always be people there for you who are willing to help, and you have come to the right place.

Like a moth to the flame, codependency is often exhausting, with feelings of hopelessness when everything you do is either never enough, or not quite right. Learn to trust in others that they can take care of what they need to get done and that they can work their way through their own struggles. You might like to try free or inexpensive online courses that can help break the pattern of behaviour. There may be informative videos from psychologists or counsellors that can help you understand ways to overcome it. Start looking at ways that you can meet your own needs because often codependent people put off taking care of themselves, start with small things that you enjoy and then aim for larger goals.
