Dec 18, 2018 by apost team

Nothing is worse than being in a toxic relationship that causes anxiety, depression, and confusion. It's so easy to be blinded by "love" when you think this person is everything you want. There's that blissful fleeting joy of someone who is there for you when you need them, but having them hurt you and abuse the relationship almost on the daily can break you down.

The toxicity eventually crumbles your soul and affects everything that you try and do, but you stay in this relationship because you've become so attached that you can't bear the feeling of being alone again. Quite possibly, you stay because you see the microscopic good things they have done. The thing to remember is that getting yourself out of a toxic relationship frees you up, and you deserve a second chance at breaking free from the burdens.

Take a look at these four incredible things that happen to you once you let them go:

You Grow Exponentially

You are no longer the same person you were when you were tied down to believing everything your ex told you about yourself. You've developed a thick skin with a confidence that makes you feel as though you can do anything. It's this strong feeling that takes you over and makes you feel invincible. Not to mention the lessons you have learned that have now enabled you to be smarter about who you spend time with. You know who to give your heart to. You gain that patience on finding the right person.

You find yourself so confident about yourself that you don't feel the need to gain validation from other people, especially people whom you find attractive. You slowly become your own person. This is your time to grow into who you truly are.

Self Worth Develops and Improves

The person you thought you loved was there to destroy your self worth and make you believe that voice of negativity inside you. Now that they are gone, your overall self worth becomes what it always has been; unlimited. You become this incredibly powerful being. Not only are you free from the verbal abuse, but you are also stronger because of it. There's going to be that scary voice of a demon that haunts you, but you'll find that inner strength reminding you that you've gotten through it and deserve better.

It is through loving yourself that you don't settle for anything less. What a sad experience seeing friends who deal with low self-esteem and settling for a mediocre love life. When you love yourself you truly become a stronger person willing to find the right person and not settling for less.

Your optimism will ignite you to create more change in yourself and further develop who you are. Everything from improving your health to developing new skills, you will have the energy to continue bettering yourself for the future.

It's easy to lose relationships that once mattered to you when you dive right into a relationship. It gets progressively worse when you get into a relationship that is verbally and physically abusive. The people who care about you the most are oftentimes pushed away in fear that they will get in the way, but they only and always have wanted the best for you and always will. These are the people whom you'll find coming back into your life after you let go of that toxic relationship.

The main reason behind that is that you lose your pride. You leave that horrible person you thought you loved behind knowing damn well your family and friends love you unconditionally. You're not afraid to come back to them anymore and ask them for advice concerning love and relationships. You develop a newfound sense of appreciation for these people because you are reminded of how much they mean to you.
