My boyfriend and I have been together almost 4 years and he doesn't understand what I feel and what my thought process is or why I do what I do

Hi
Yes you have to look after yourselves first which could mean leaving. People who have never experienced depression cannot even begin to imagine what it feels like. If your boyfriend has ever had a severe hangover, that’s what it kinda feels like but it’s there all the time until you get help.

Take care

I've been thinking about it for months now....I feel like it's time because he's not willing to do what he says

Jess 1028 you absaloutely do what your heart says I know that feeling of loving someone and not getting it back I was prepared to walk away. You will find happiness in making difficult decisions because you are pushing your self out of your comfort zone if you do decide to leave your boy friend please ensure that it is done without anger or resentment. Ensure that you have support from a neighbour or friend that can be with you at short notice. I would say believe in your self that you deserve to be happy life has many paths ☺
