Bad Relationships: When To Call It Quits
If you have a mental illness, do you find yourself reluctant to end an unhealthy or bad relationship? You're not alone. Even despite being emotionally abused, some with depression, bipolar disorder, severe anxiety and other mental health conditions are afraid to leave. After all, they think, "something is better than nothing" and "who will help take care of me?"
In an article titled "Ending a Relationship: How Do You Know When Enough Is Enough?," our anxiety blogger, Jodi Aman, discusses how staying in unhealthy relationships actually makes your mental health worse. She also shares things you should consider BEFORE making a decision on whether to stay or leave the relationship.
