Can years and years of verbal and emotional abuse and put downs cause more anxiety, stress, and mental health issues? As well as physical exhaustion and irritability and anger? I (F32) am experiencing verbal and emotional abuse from my male partner of (M36) of 11 years and I feel so drained emotionally and my anxiety is at an all time high! He calls me names, swears, puts me down, and is not encouraging at all. He is moving out tomorrow. I feel so drained out. I’m not sure if years of all this can cause more mental health problems than usual? I do stuffer from anxiety that is genetic but I wonder if the fighting and verbal abuse is making it worse?
