Scrolling TikTok recently? You may have seen creator @4grownwomenonly casually drop what turned into a full-blown internet research paper.
@4grownwomenonly Here is a description of 30 auto immune diseases that show up in a woman who is experiencing any type of violence or chronic stress. #divorce #marriage #autoimmunedisease #loveandrelationships #empoweringwomen ♬ original sound – Nico R
In her video, she shares that more than 3,000 women flooded her comments after she talked about how toxic relationships with men (financial, emotional, mental, and physical) can take a serious toll on women’s bodies. Not as a diagnosis. Not as medical advice. Just women connecting dots in real time.
She makes it clear: she’s not a doctor. What she is doing is reading directly from the comments and listing the top illnesses women themselves mentioned after reflecting on their own experiences. The video isn’t polished or dramatic. It feels more like a group chat that accidentally went viral.
Can Toxic Relationships Impact Health?
Women weren’t arguing science or asking for studies. They were sharing timelines. “I got sick after that relationship.” “My body changed when I was constantly stressed.” “I didn’t feel like myself again until I left.” Over and over, the same theme appeared: prolonged exposure to toxicity left something behind.
The creator talks about how ongoing stress (especially when tied to violence in any form) can feel like it settles into the body. She even uses the phrase “imprinted on DNA,” a statement that’s less about biology and more about how deeply these experiences linger for women long after the relationship ends.
This conversation isn’t about blaming, diagnosing, or handing out health advice. It’s about recognition. About women realizing they weren’t “crazy,” “dramatic,” or “weak” for feeling like love was making them sick.
What makes this moment interesting isn’t whether every claim can be proven or not, it’s how many women felt seen enough to speak up. Social media, for all its chaos, has become a place where women compare notes out loud and realize they’re not alone, all in real time…together.
And when 3,000 people say the same thing in one comment section?
That’s not a trend. That’s a conversation. Which is why women linked toxic relationships to declining health.
