I am chronically dependant on others. I can't even identify what to consistently work on because it's just that bad. I was wondering if maybe there's a step program or something to help with this or what's worked for you in the past.
I have to ask for help literally on an almost daily basis. As an adult I can't even meet my own basic human needs to begin a routine. My life generally seems to fall apart when I feel like I'm making the first step to where I'd be stable enough to start independance but I'm flimsy. I don't even have a starting point here. |

Welcome to the forums @Individualperson.
The first thing I would suggest is to look into options for a therapist. They can help you talk through your experience and start to see how to take the next important steps. You could also try looking for a DBT workbook online. You should also take a moment to acknowledge that you've already taken the first step to recovering, by reaching out for help online. That can be a big step, but you made it. |

I'm not getting why I can't be fixed or even what's wrong with me that everyone else seems to be aware of. I don't want to bother going back because I never get to the point where they say I've improved or I'm cured of who I am.Where does it all lead ? |

Interesting point of view. Why are you leaving it up to "them" to say if you have improved? You even left it up to us to correct your spelling. That seems kinda sneaky! My longterm therapist always asked me, what's your payoff, what do you gain from this behavior?
I definitely did not want to "take responsibility." I remember telling college friends that i wanted my parents to choose a husband for me, because then, if it didnt work out, they couldnt blame me! It wouldnt be my fault! But that presupposes a failed outcome. You can find an outcome you desire and take responsibility for attaining it. Fall six times, get up seven. |
