An unhealthy
relationship can lead to an abnormal state of mind thus affecting you
emotionally. A relationship is said to be unhealthy when it has no attribute of
a good relationship and which will eventually end up in heart breaks and
disillusionment. These affect the mind thereby causing a lot of emotional
stress thus leading to heart problems
Below are some of the
negative effects of unhealthy relationships; People that involved in this kind
of relationship may act strangely. He/she may easily get angry over little
things. When they are hurt instead of dealing directly with the source of their
problem, they burn with anger and are ready to pounce on any one that annoys
them. The pains are sometimes transferred to our brain, thereby affecting the
way we think which may leads to high blood pressure (HBP), mental disorder etc.
Here is a story
of Daniel who died as a result of emotional stress. Daniel and Mary met at a
wedding reception of a family friend; they fell in love at first sight, which
they thought was true love but later turned out to be false. They continued in
the relationship until the third month. When Mary felt she was no longer
comfortable with Dan, she started cheating on him (going out with different men
including Daniel’s close friends)
When Daniel discovered
that his lover was cheating on him, he never said a word because he was afraid
of losing her. He kept harboring the pains in his mind. He kept on passing
through the emotional stress until it developed to a serious heart problem
He went for medical
checkup; after all examination has been carried out on him, the doctor called
him to his office and discloses everything to him. Daniel asks the doctor what
will be the cause of his problem. The doctor said to him, ‘it may be caused as
a result of one harboring a lot of things in his mind like anxiety, worries
which develops to emotional stress. And this is likely to affect the physical
condition of his heart’. Then Daniel realized that he has been into an
unhealthy relationship which has really affected him emotionally. Now that he
has thought it wise to let go that unhealthy relationship it was too late for
him. Two months after the medical checkup, he was ill and rushed to the
hospital but Daniel didn’t make it due to the emotional stress that has already
eaten him up. That was how an unhealthy relationship led to the demise of
Daniel
My counsel- quit any
relationship that is not adding any positive value to your life. It might be
detrimental just like Daniel
