“Although the relationship may have many happy moments, it won’t hide the fact that you may also feel like you’re suffocating. You can’t spend time alone, you constantly feel guilty about things you should not feel guilty over, and also frequently mentally exhausted. You may also find your relationships with friends and family starts to suffer, and your co-dependent partner begins keeping you in a bubble. Instead of the relationship empowering you, you start to feel shut off from the outside world. You may entertain thoughts frequently of calling it off, but you become scared of “hurting” your partner. Indirect threats of self-harm or even suicide keep you from initiating a breakup.”

“Take a careful examination of your relationship. Try to do this in the most objective way possible. Try not to be deceived by “rose colored glasses”, as even the most unhealthy relationships do have some happy moments, but they’re no excuse to tolerate abusive conditions. Reinforce to yourself the concept of personal responsibility and agency. Your partner may be dependent on you, but that is THEIR choice. If they decide to act in a way that is self-harming, it is NOT your responsibility. Remind yourself that co-dependent behavior is NOT “normal” behavior. Often, a co-dependent person will suggest (and personally believe) that obsessive, unhealthy, or controlling behavior is how all relationships naturally are. This may be the result of childhood experiences”

“People don’t talk about death, and people don’t discuss how the rampant compulsion to buy shit and keep up with society’s expectations does the exact opposite of providing peace and happiness. So, by engaging these topics, I hope that the quality of your life will improve, and that people will begin discussing these important issues amongst each other. As we explore the disease of depression, I also hope that this book will help you to learn critical-thinking skills, and the ability to recognize the combination of external and internal forces that are creating the sensations of unhappiness that you desire to cure. The reason is because many people are affected by negative culture and ideas without even realizing that it’s such a source of anxiety and fear.”
