Signs You May Be in a Codependent Relationship

Codependency often starts as care — but turns into control, anxiety, and loss of self. It can be hard to recognize, especially if you grew up in a family where emotional caretaking was the norm.

Common signs of codependency:

• You put others’ needs above your own, even when it hurts you

• You feel responsible for other people’s emotions

• You fear being alone or abandoned

• Your mood depends on how others feel or act

• You struggle to set boundaries — or feel guilty when you try

These patterns don’t mean you’re broken.
They often come from early survival strategies that no longer serve you.

Therapy can help you understand where these patterns came from and how to shift them. You can learn how to care without losing yourself, set boundaries without guilt, and build relationships that feel mutual and healthy.
