Relationships

Mental health problems can have a large impact on a relationship. They can really drive a wedge between the growth that needs to occur between you and your partner. It is important to learn how to manage mental health problems in your relationship to prevent them from becoming a greater problem. Mental wellness is a challenging thing to manage on your own, but when you place it within a relationship it adds a completely different element.

We all are individuals who want strong, quality relationships with others. For some, it is easy to develop these relationships, but for others, it can be more difficult. From a young age, we are provided with ample opportunity to build friendships with peers through school, however, as we age this process becomes more difficult. Making friends requires putting ourselves out there. For those that struggle with building and maintaining relationships, it becomes so easy to develop social anxiety and depression. 

Some questions to ask one another if you are in a relationship to hopefully get to know each other better and learn about different viewpoints!

Struggling with commitment is an extremely common occurrence in relationships for both men and women. However, when it comes to commitment phobia, this fear of commitment can be paralyzing; it is a very real experience of anxiety and fear.

I want to challenge you to try setting a boundary and seeing how it feels! It may be very uncomfortable at first, but it may also result in some positive changes in your life!
