Your Body Will Reject a Relationship

Updated: Jan 26


When a relationship consistently causes you stress, it's time to reconsider why you're still involved.

The toll it takes on your mental and physical health can be significant, and some damage may be irreversible.


From my own experience, I can assure you it's not worth it. My doctor was astonished by the range of health issues I was facing, often remarking that I didn't fit the typical profile for many of my conditions.


Some of the challenges I've dealt with include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, blood clotting disorders, liver inflammation, elevated eye pressure, blurred vision, heart palpitations, diabetes, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, kidney cysts, thyroid nodules, IBS, and more!


I maintain a healthy diet, keep a healthy weight, exercise regularly, avoid sugar, steer clear of processed foods, and don't consume alcohol. So, what could be causing this? Stress! Yes Stress!


I am currently on a journey to restore my health, and I'm using my platform to support others along the way. Why? Because I faced this challenge alone, without guidance, and I can tell you-it's a lonely journey.


Ladies, it's important to listen to your bodies. While some issues may stem from lifestyle choices and others from genetics, if you're struggling to find answers, it may be time to examine your situation more closely.


The connection between stress and health is often underestimated, but it can be the silent force that damages your body over time. The emotional burden of a toxic relationship can manifest physically, as I discovered firsthand. When you feel drained, anxious, and unsupported day after day, your body responds in ways you might not even recognize. It becomes a vicious cycle—stress causes health issues, and those health issues create even more stress.


One of the hardest realizations I've come to is that stress doesn’t just disappear on its own. It’s a slow build-up that sneaks up on you, with symptoms that can feel like a collection of random problems. It wasn’t until I saw the pattern in my own health that I realized how much my emotional well-being was intertwined with physical illness. Chronic stress isn't something that can be ignored or brushed aside. If it’s affecting your body in such profound ways, it's a wake-up call to take your mental and emotional health seriously.


It’s easy to dismiss discomfort or chalk it up to “bad luck” or “genetics.” But the truth is, sometimes the root cause of our struggles lies in our relationships. It’s essential to ask yourself: Is this relationship worth the toll it's taking on my health? If you’re feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and constantly drained, it may be time to take a step back and reevaluate.


My journey toward healing isn't just physical—it’s about setting boundaries, cutting out toxicity, and learning to prioritize my mental health. And while the road is long, I’m no longer alone on this path. I encourage you to find support, whether through friends, family, or professionals, and listen to your body. It knows more than you might realize.
