Sometimes we stall our own emotional growth because we want our loved ones to like us and feel needed.

 

This is never a healthy situation.  You deserve to feel happy and to be mentally well.  It is good to surround yourself with positive and supportive people as much as you can during your recovery.  If your whole relationship hinges upon your dependence on another then you will either give up in your struggle for happiness or will grow to resent the people who are holding you back.  A healthy relationship allows for both growth and happiness.

 

I have listed just a few ways in which it is very possible to hinder your chances for happiness and emotional well being.

 

Now how about you?  Have you ever sabotaged your own recovery from depression?  And did you find ways to overcome your resistance.  Please do share your story here.  We want to hear what you have to say.
