How Do You Manage Stress When You Live in a Toxic Environment?

Try to create a little space for yourself, even if you can't leave right now. Spend time outside, talk to someone you trust, or do things that help you feel normal.

One thing people overlook is saving your energy. You don't have to answer every argument or explain yourself to everyone.

If the environment is unsafe, focus on finding support and planning a way to get somewhere safer. You may not control the people around you, but you can take small steps toward a better situation.
