Bearing a grudge can be bad for wellbeing – whether you silently simmer or outwardly rage after a row, dwelling on hurtful disagreements can lead to poor mental health. ‘Holding on to anger is a blocker to emotional functioning,’ says clinical psychologist Dr Jenna Vyas-Lee*. But that’s not all. The stress caused by unresolved feuds can be a risk factor for physical symptoms and health issues such as migraines, anxiety disorders and even heart health complications and strokes.
