How do you know if or when it's the right time to end your relationship?

He's clearly very much in love with you. Are you in love with him?

I knew I couldn't kill myself because it would destroy the people who loved me, so I decided if I had to live I might as well be messed up on drugs. I did that for years, resenting everyone who still cared for me, until I realized I was killing myself slowly anyways.

This is when I decided if I had to live, I might as well be happy, and get better. This realization helped me get started with treating my depression, anxiety, substance abuse etc.

The only reason I'm alive today is because I had people like your boyfriend, people who loved me. Those are the people that kept me here, and realized I had to get better if I was going to continue living.

I wish you the best, and things can and will get better.
