Think of a plan or develop a script of how you will respond if you encounter this person. Remember: you should limit contact if the person reduces your self-esteem and makes you feel small or unloved. For example, if the person wants to talk on the phone, suggest a date and time, and then go to a supportive friend's house to take the call. In the place of euphoria, excitement and infatuation, you may experience fear, self-doubt, loneliness and panic after an addictive, codependent relationship dissolves. Physical symptoms can mimic those of substance abuse like being unable to sleep or eat, cramping, shaking, and experiencing nausea. These are normal parts of breaking a bond that gave you positive feelings. The symptoms will eventually fade. If you feel chronically depressed, seek out the services of a professional counselor. Ending an addictive relationship can make you feel empty inside and make you believe you will never find another person to love. A counselor will help you to understand the importance of working on yourself and making sure you are healthy and whole. Keep in mind, feelings of worthlessness cannot be stamped out by relationships; you must resolve these feelings in order to ever fully love yourself or another person. Deal with your own self-esteem issues now, before you start dating again. You may find strength to cope by listening to the triumphant stories of others who have severed ties from an addictive relationship. In conjunction with seeing a counselor for individual therapy, attending meetings with others like you can help you to educate yourself on addictive relationships and learn how to spot such unhealthy relationships in the future. It can be easy to neglect yourself when you are feeling down about ending a relationship with someone you cared about. Take extra time to eat and exercise regularly, get quality sleep, and treat yourself gently. Doing a few self-care activities each week can also help you to feel more like yourself and bring some structure to your new-found independence. Relax in a soothing bubble bath, get your hair cut and styled, or visit the spa for a massage. Don't neglect yourself because you're feeling bad. Boundaries are significant to you living a healthy, stable life. Many people wrongly assume if they are extremely close to another person when they first meet, it's a sign of a perfect match. Keep in mind, you should have a life beyond your boyfriend/girlfriend or best friend.  The next time you meet a new person be direct about your needs and any limitations you would like to set. In healthy relationships, both partners should have a say in how things work. Don't give up your power in another codependent relationship. Moving forward, always be mindful and aware of your past relationships/friendships that have been treacherous. Take things slow with any new person that enters your life. Always keep your needs in mind and practice self-care.  Finally, continue to seek outside support from your counselor or a local support group to receive education and encouragement as you form new healthy bonds.
