We all love being in love. In fact, we search in hope to find the person who is ‘the one.’ That way, we can settle down and get married to this person. And we hope we will live happy ever after. But on the way to finding the right person, it can lead to many a difficult relationship. And as well as not being good for our heart strings, it can also have an effect on our health. In fact, a lot of people prefer to be single for the sake of their well-being. After all, no rows and arguments can mean a happier and healthier life. Here are some unexpected ways love might damage your health.
A toxic relationship can leave you depressed. A lot of us are in toxic relationships without even knowing it. We try and hold on to the fact we love the person and that there are some happy times. But to others, they can see how toxic the relationship is. After all, if you are constantly arguing with each other and don’t trust each other at all, it doesn’t make for a healthy relationship. And when you both are bad for one another, it can make you unhealthy. After all, toxic relationships have been linked to depression. Feeling criticized and negative all the time, as well as distrusting the person can lead you into a dark path. And constantly trying to make something work can make you feel unfulfilled and drained. Once you start struggling with depression, it can be a hard to get out of this mental state. And depression is not the only negative to your health from a toxic relationship. As this feature reveals, negative relationships can put you at higher risk of heart problems. Therefore, if you are in a toxic relationship, you could put your cardiovascular health in danger. Take a step back and decide if the relationship is right for you. Try and see it from an outsider’s point of view. It might be best to end things now for the sake of your health!
Arguments can lead to anxiety and stress. Of course, it’s normal to have the odd argument with your other half. After all, you sometimes have to get your emotions out to ensure you don’t keep them bottled up. And it’s a good way to be honest with each other about how you feel. But if you constantly have arguments, it could have a negative impact on your health. After all, it can lead you to start suffering from anxiety as you worry about when the next argument will take place. And you start fearing when you will have to next spend time with their other half. Not only can rows cause anxiety, but they can also cause you excessive stress. After all, shouting at one another can heighten your stress levels. And it can have an adverse effect on the rest of your life. After all, if you go to work after a row, you might not be able to concentrate as you feel so stressed out. Therefore, it’s time to work out the route of all your rows. Sit down with your other half and talk about the issues which are causing you to argue. And then you can work out whether you want to move forward, or whether you should leave.
One-night stands can cause STIs. It’s common in the modern world to spend a night with someone you might have just met. After all, we have one too many drinks and then might end up moving forward with an initial attraction. But while there is nothing wrong with having a one-night stand with someone you fancy, it can have a damaging effect on your health. After all, you don’t really know the person, even though you might feel like you do after a couple of drinks! Therefore, you don’t know what STI’s he might be carrying. So after you have slept with him, you might find it has been passed on to you. And then you might be hunting down antibiotics for chlamydia to clear the condition! To stop this occurring, make sure you have a chat with the person before taking the next step. And while you might be getting feelings of lust, it might be worth asking them out so you can get to know them when you are sober. That way, you won’t rush to the bedroom and make a mistake which can put your health in jeopardy.
Unrequited love can leave us comfort eating. It’s so easy to end up falling for someone who doesn’t feel the same way back. And it can be a nightmare to try and move on from your feelings. In fact, unrequited love can often have a damaging effect on your health. It can make us so miserable that we start to comfort eat. And when you start comfort eating on a regular basis, you might start putting on weight. And then if you become overweight, there will be a lot of negative impacts to your health. For one thing, you might start suffering from high blood pressure. And being overweight can often lead you down the road to diabetes. Therefore, it’s time to try and move on for the sake of your health. Go out with your friends and put the guy to the back of your mind. After all, the right guy who cares about you too might be just around the corner.
Relationship insecurity can lead to sleepless nights. When you are in a troubled relationship, it can be a stressful time. After all, you are constantly worrying if the end is around the corner. And you worry how stable your relationship is. In fact, you can start imagining problems that are not even there. And relationship insecurity can lead to so much stress and worry. So much so that a lot of people start experiencing sleepless nights. In fact, this article says research has found that relationship insecurity is associated with poor sleep. After all, you are more likely to lay in bed and start panicking about your relationship. And with so much going on in your mind, it can mean a decent night’s slumber is a thing of the past. To ensure you can get some quality sleep, it’s worth talking to your other half about how you are feeling. Explain your worries and see if you can feel more secure in the relationship. Or it might be the time you move on to a happier relationship with less worry.
Splitting can lead to bad heart health. It’s always tough when a relationship comes to an end. After all, we really loved that guy, so it’s easy for us to feel miserable. But you need to be careful about how hard you take the break-up. After all, a bad split can lead to heart woes. We have all heard about a broken heart. And while your heart can’t technically break, you are at higher risk of heart troubles if you do go through a nasty split! In fact, there is a thing called broken heart syndrome which is a temporary enlargement of the heart. And it can occur after a bad stressful split. Therefore, for the sake of your heart health, try and find ways to deal with the split better. For example, going out with friends or throwing yourself into work can be good distractions.
Of course, there are benefits to being in a relationship. It can boost your health and be the happiest time of your life. Just make sure it’s the right kind of love and a happy relationship for the sake of your health.
