Erica shows signs of being codependent, which affects her ability to get along with people in all facets of her life. She has low self-esteem, tends to be controlling, and is easily offended and down on herself when she does not get along with people. During her first semester as a freshman in college she tried to make friends in her classes and in the dorms, but she has not had luck in making a single friend. She has become anxious and socially withdrawn. Over the holidays, she was distraught and asked her parents if she could drop out of school and just look for a job. Her parents have encouraged her to try the next semester before throwing in the towel. Using what you have learned about attitude and wellness, offer Erica advice on how to turn her situation around.
