It’s not you, it's me.

One of the most critical things to do when searching for answers or suffering with your mental health is to take responsibility for your own life.

Blaming others, staying in relationships or continuing with habits that don’t support good mental health is both your responsibility and your right.

It is very common to blame our struggles on our loved ones or those close to us or to believe that our struggles are created by those around us.

Much of human struggles that are depicted in film, narrative, social media, tv or a a significant focus of our social interactions are our relationships. Many of us define our experience of life by our relationships - be it those we want, have lost it are in.

I have experience very toxic relationships but I can tell you now, in every circumstance the answer is to leave. Leave the relationship, leave the habits, leave the boundaries you have accepted behind.

Relationships are a two way street - so long as you are choosing the relationship you have the choice of leaving open to you.

Leaving is by no means easy - there may be control, cohersion, children or finance involved - however it will never get better as long as you stay. People do not change because they learn not to hurt you, they change because they want to and you cannot make someone want to change.
