Is there ever a time where relationships (any type) can just call it quits? I’ve discovered that cutting all ties isn’t that easy. Maybe you’ve known someone for years and you decide that they’ve become to toxic so you reach out to them to call it quits.

But- it’s not that easy. I think any type of relationship can’t just stop. No matter how toxic or bad it gets the trauma triggering still happens and when you want to find a way to stop all of it, it never works out. Nothing is as simple as what we need. So eventually the trauma resurfaces in every situation and you become drained from any conversation with another person, and going out or even staying in becomes too hard.

Rather than motivating yourself with the things that make us happy, every moment becomes another trigger resurfacing.

Will it ever get any easier? Doing those mediocre happy moments for ourselves become bland, and eventually we begin self blaming. Any thoughts?
