Hi d.o.a.

Great post. You are very aware of your issues and that is a great start.

I am an ACOA and I have some codependent behaviors like you stated. I am afraid of making mistakes, I think. I don't need the approval of others like I used to when I was younger. Going to support groups has helped me get through some of my issues. I do live a fear-based life. I am figuring out how to stop this process. I seem to worry about only the most practical worries. I kind of put my fears into a category. I am too organized ...even in my own head. New diagnosis...organized worrier....
