I have given this friend my will to live

[holdingon]

I feel like a crazy obsessed person. I constantly seek out their approval and their attention. I have lied in order to get their approval. It is a toxic, unhealthy relationship that brings out the absolute worst in me. I feel needy and insecure and like I don't have control of my life. This has happened with no-one else in my life. It has pushed me to the point where I have given this person my will to live, if I don't have their approval, I feel like I have no worth and that there is little to live for. It's fair to say that this person has taken absolute control of me and I have let them and I have no idea how to get it back. I am not proud of who I have become and i am desperate to pull myself out and change it. How do I let this person go?

Therapy. No, really, therapy. When you have gotten so far that you're practically depending on this person as your will to live, you're in very deep. Try it out.
