I was in a toxic friendship and I'm glad I ended it but I'm still working on fixing the damage caused by them.

As someone who was in a toxic romantic relationship, I can say this is all true.
I had so much guilt and anxiety and other mental health problems and felt worthless, like I was nothing without them.
I had an identity crisis after the relationship and had to take time not only to heal but figure out who I am truly.
If you are in a toxic relationship please get help and support and leave the relationship, and start loving yourself. You won't regret it.

Being lonely is very bad don’t get me wrong but having toxic relationships wether it’s love or friends is way worse, chose the people who you hang out with or love very wisely.

I was in a toxic relationship for multiple years, and have only recently been able to walk away from it. The relationship was absolutely distroying both of us, yet neither one of us wanted to hurt the other by saying it wasn't working. Eventually I had to cut the ties, for both our sakes, and it truely was the hardest thing I had to do.

Recognise the signs, approach the person and see if you can work on it together, but ultimately you need to look after yourself and your mental wellness first.

For anyone out there who is scared to have to make that choice, it is scary, but it does get easier over time and you'll both be healthier for taking that step back.

I was in an extremely toxic and abusive relationship for over a year. It took me a long time to realize that he was a terrible person and I wasn't. Now I have an amazing partner that treats me better than I ever imagined someone would. It gets better guys💜 just keep pushing forward

Listening to the voice actor talk about toxic relationships while having such an angelic voice is just woah.

Most of my relationships get toxic overtime, that is why I prefer locking myself away from other people and spending all my time working /studying

I was in a toxic relationship and 7 months free from it. I wasn't the same happy person I use to be while being in that relationship. Now that time has passed I am no longer depressed and starting to feel like my normal self before the relationship. Mind you I am guarded when I do decided to date again. I also have learned healty boundaries. So there are many good things I have learned from being in a toxic relationship.

Its eerie how, over the years, you guys literally always post the exact videos I need, at the time theyre needed. I just wish i watched more often. Thank you

My first relationship was with a really toxic guy in seventh grade, and ever since then I've always found myself in relationships that seem fine at first but are revealed to be another toxic relationship. Also, I got raped a lot as a child and I've been told this is why I seek sexual encounters as validation. I don't know, to be honest my "love life" has never really been so "love"ly. To be honest, all I want is a kind guy who cares about me just as much as I care about him. Like, I'm not looking for a relationship with steamy sex and titles. I just want gentle kisses, warm hugs, and adorable, genuinely happy memories.

My Best friend is in a toxic relationship and she has shown every sign listed in the video, we tried to help her but she wants to be there anyways.
It's heartbreaking.

[yikesjustyikes]

Got out of a couple of toxic friendships several months ago. Things definitely do get better afterwards, even if it sucks a lot at first. It helped me to accept that things were meant to end and now whatever good memories I did have with them, I am able to let pass through my mind without my heart aching. But I am actively healing, as will anyone else reading this. Things will be okay one day. You are stronger than you know.

I'm in a relationship almost a year or so after my last breakup from a toxic relationship and I'm still working on it, your videos help to bring a better idea of what I could be feeling. Thank you!

[legostep]

Well, this video helped me get out of my toxic relationship. I'm still scared though, my ex girlfriend always threatened suicide if I tried to break up with her. I wasn't happy and I always was at her beckon and call. I always felt sick because I had to stay up all night for weeks talking to her. I don't know who I am anymore, but I finally left. A pressure has been lifted from my chest.

Thank you psyc2go you have saved me from so much pain. ❤

My best friend of over two years was extremely toxic and god, I relate to everything here. 😔

[christinharbinson]

I was in a toxic romantic relationship at one point. I felt worthless and even after it ended it took me a long time before I felt like myself again. All of the signs in this video were true. Just know there can be a way out and that time can heal some of these emotional scars.
