Codependency Symptoms Quiz

Definition Of Codependency: 

Codependency is a condition that results in a dysfunctional relationship between the codependent and other people.  A codependent is addicted to helping someone.  They need to be needed.  This addiction is sometimes so strong, the codependent will cause the other person to continue to be needy.  This behavior is called enabling.  The enabler will purposefully overlook someone abusing a child, will call in sick for someone suffering from addiction, will put roadblocks to prevent their child from becoming independent, or even keep a sick family member from getting the treatment that would make them well.  These are behaviors common to codependents.  A codependent often suffers from a 'Messiah Complex' where he sees problems with everyone and sees himself as the only person who can help.  Here is where I need to work...trying to be 'Mr. Fixit' for everyone...even those who don't feel they need anything fixed.  A codependent counselor (common) will never think your sessions are done.  In fact, they often create issues that weren't there just so they can continue to feel they're an important, no, essential part of your life.  This is one of the reasons I always spend the first counseling session evaluating the problem and setting up a schedule of sessions to complete the work.  If we're not making progress, I don't want to become the person you feel you have to take every problem to...it's too addictive to me.  That's what codependence is...an addiction to being needed.  These best-selling books can help you understand Codependency Symptoms and Solutions.

Codependency Symptoms Quiz: 

Take this test to find out if you're helping people who need or needing people to help:

1.  Do you feel demeaned, hurt or offended when someone you love tells you they don't need your help?

2.  In the last year, has anyone resorted to arguing, begging or raising their voice to get you to stop trying to help them?

3.  If you had plenty of money and your child, sibling or parent had an addiction to drinking, spending, gambling or drugs, and they asked you for money to help with their necessary expenses (food, rent, clothes, bills), would you give them the money?

4.  When someone shares a life or relationship problem with you, but doesn't ask for help, do you offer help or advice, anyway?

5.  When you survey your relationships, do you find yourself surrounded by mostly people who need you?

6.  Do you ever find yourself making excuses for the needy people in your life?
