Silent impact on psychology and body
In toxic relationships, people involved often experience prolonged stress, mixed with anxiety and feelings of insecurity. These negative emotions, if prolonged, can erode mental health, causing people involved to gradually lose confidence and find it difficult to maintain a balanced state in life.
According to Dr. Sonal Anand - a mental health expert at Wockhardt Hospital (Mumbai, India), sharing: "Toxic relationships can create a large emotional burden, making people exhausted both mentally and physically.
Not only psychological, prolonged stress can also affect sleep, the immune system and cardiovascular system, increasing the risk of serious health problems.
Why do many people find it difficult to escape a toxic relationship?
One of the reasons why many people find it difficult to leave a toxic relationship is the interweaving of hurt and positive moments. This creates hope that things can change, even though the reality of negativity continues.
Experts believe that when the body is constantly in a state of stress, the nervous system will be activated for a long time, leading to emotional exhaustion and reduced decision-making ability.
To protect yourself, the first important thing is to clearly identify signs of unhealthy relationships such as excessive control, disrespect, or frequent emotional pressure.
In addition, insiders need to set clear boundaries, actively share with relatives or psychologists, and not rush into new relationships when they are not really recovered.
Abandoning a toxic relationship is not a failure, but an important step to regain balance and protect long-term health.
