My relationships deeply impact my mental health. Supportive ones lift me up, reduce stress, and make me feel understood. But toxic or draining connections can trigger anxiety or self-doubt. I’ve learned to protect my peace by choosing healthy, honest relationships.

I had a romantic relationship that was driving me insane. And that is what you get when you are involved with someone that is insensitive to your emotions. I was going down gradually. I struggled to work. I had to break up with the lady. And today, I have gotten back to my usual best.

I have a healthy relationship and so I do not have any kind of mental health issues related to my relationship. Well, just like average couples, we sometimes have arguments, and on that day, I feel distressed. Even a small disagreement can cause tension and nervousness.
