Recognising a Toxic Relationship

Updated: Dec 16, 2022

Toxic relationships can be harmful to our mental and emotional health. It is important to identify and address toxic behaviour in our relationships in order to maintain a healthy and happy life.

But what exactly is a toxic relationship? A toxic relationship is one where one or both partners engage in behaviours that are harmful to the relationship or to the individual. This can include things like emotional manipulation, verbal abuse, physical abuse, and other unhealthy behaviours.

Some signs that you may be in a toxic relationship include feeling like you are walking on eggshells around your partner, constantly making excuses for their behaviour, and feeling like you are not good enough for them. If you are in a toxic relationship, it is important to recognise that you deserve to be treated with respect and kindness.

It can be difficult to end a toxic relationship, especially if you have been in it for a long time or if you have strong emotional ties to your partner. But it is important to remember that you deserve to be in a healthy and happy relationship. If you are in a toxic relationship, consider seeking help from a therapist or counsellor who can help you work through your feelings and make a plan for leaving the relationship.

If you are struggling to end a toxic relationship, it can be helpful to surround yourself with supportive friends and family who can help you through this difficult time. It is also important to take care of yourself, both physically and emotionally. This can include things like exercising, eating well, and engaging in activities that you enjoy.

Remember, you are not alone. Many people have been in toxic relationships and have successfully ended them and moved on to healthy and happy relationships. If you are in a toxic relationship, it is important to seek help and support in order to get out of it and move on to a healthier and happier life.
