Emotional Abuse: How Its Affects You

If you are in an emotionally abusive relationship  for a long time, you may loose your ‘inner compass’ and can become convinced that you are worthless, and that is all your fault, and  you feel like you have nowhere else to go.

Try to honestly answer this questions to yourself:

  • Is your ultimate fear to be left alone, without no one to love you?
  • Do you sacrifice your own wishes, just to please your partner?
  • If your partner abuses you, do you become submissive?
  • Do you do things that you do not like just to make your partner feel good?

If you are in a relationship wherein emotional abuse happens everyday, the effects are dangerous than any form of abuse because it can be frequent. The effects of emotional abuse can be subtle, it makes you feel that you are the problem in the relationship even if you are not. It makes you doubt your self-worth and affects your self-esteem also.

Here are the negative effects of long-term emotional abuse:

  • Low self-esteem
  • Emotional Stress
  • Health Problems
  • Depression
  • Isolation
  • Alcohol or drug use

You may seem introverted, quiet, or may appear confident and extrovert, which is an act to fool the outside world so that you can hide the humiliation you are experiencing. You may have deliberately chosen not to seek help but decided to deal with it. if you continue to have communication with an abusive partner, it can drag you back to the same situation.

You must try to do something if your partner is unwilling to seek help or knowledge.
The recovery process can be long and painful. It may influence your mentality and may decide to hurt yourself. It may result to suicide when dealing with a long-term emotional abuse. You would feel unlovable and unworthy.

Proper counseling will help stop this chain of suffering once and for all.
