Handling Relationship Issues
Toxic relationships can severely affect mental health, often leading to a decline in self-esteem, energy levels, and overall happiness. Constant exposure to toxicity can generate feelings of insecurity in women, as they frequently start questioning themselves and navigate the relationship with caution. The harmful behavior in a toxic relationship, such as criticism, belittling, manipulation, and control, can cause emotional distress and stress. This can then become more severe leading to mental health problems such as anxiety, depression. Some signs of a toxic relationship are given below. It is important to learn to spot the signs of a toxic relationship so you can start creating healthy ones instead.
