The past few weeks, I’ve really been struggling with skin picking around the neck area again.
And I’ve been obsessing over things that shouldn’t matter that much and have been feeling really down in general.
So I’ve been thinking, why? Why do I feel this way or acting this way?
General feeling of helplessness about the future, intense work stress are factors. But I realized that a toxic relationship was also playing a huge part.
Have you ever had a relationship (family, friendship, romantic or otherwise) that brings you down, you feel emotionally exhausted when you have interaction with them, and it comes to a point where you dread speaking with them? or you find yourself being passive aggressive towards them because you haven’t been able to express that you’re unhappy in the relationship?
This was exactly how I’ve been feeling and I realized it was time to address this toxic relationship. I don’t know what is the best way to go forward with it. But I’ve started by trying to be more honest with how I’m feeling.
