Mental Health And Relationship Problems: This statement of Riya has become the truth of the hearts of many women. Where earlier the relationship used to provide comfort, now it seems like a burden. Actually, this story is not only of Riya, but of all those people whose mental health has become the biggest enemy of the relationship.
She goes to sleep crying every night. After a long day’s work and fatigue, when he just needs some rest, he becomes stubborn. “I am mentally tired and he is forceful,” This is what Riya says, who is now moving away from herself. The relationship that was once his identity has now become a burden for him. Perhaps the reason is not just fights, but the ignored mental health which gradually weakens the roots of the relationship.
According to psychologists, mental fatigue becomes a major reason for coldness and fights in relationships.
When partner’s ignorance becomes a trigger
Relationships last only when both partners understand each other’s feelings. But when a person is mentally tired or depressed, If the other partner ignores it by calling it ‘drama’ or ‘mood swing’, then the situation becomes worse. In such a situation the person feels even more lonely. This is the reason why distance increases in many relationships despite there being love.
It is important to talk openly
Psychiatrist Dr. Sakshi Mehta says, “Mental health plays an important role in a relationship. If you are constantly feeling tired, upset or emotionally empty, then it directly impacts the quality of your relationship. At such a time, it is important to talk openly instead of stopping the conversation.” In such a situation, do not judge the mental state of your partner, rather listen to him. Sometimes just listening to someone quietly is no less than therapy.
self care is important
Many times, in order to save the relationship, we forget to take care of ourselves. But the truth is that before keeping a relationship healthy, it is important to be mentally healthy. Things like yoga, meditation, journaling and therapy help in improving mental health. Also, it is very important to set your limits with your partner and have the courage to say “no”.
