My gf (24F) and I (26F) have been together for 4 years. We’ve endured some ups and downs but have always stuck through it and she’s my best friend. Recently I’ve had a feeling of being lost in myself. I’ve felt myself rely on my girlfriend for just little things such as deciding what movie to watch because I just don’t know. I don’t hangout with friends much as my partner is an introvert and I’m a more introverted extrovert so I thrive off of those friendships! I feel so unlike myself and this is a tall we’ve had before but have decided I work on myself while we’re together.
I have a job with kids in foster care that I recently had to quit because it was too much on me, and my mom has been declining from her battle with cancer. So I’m now in search of a new job while commuting home 3 x a week to help her out. I’m overwhelmed and lost but I’m finding it hard to justify breaking up with her even though I know deep down I should probably figure my s**t out.
Help!!:(
TL;DR: Having a hard time feeling like myself in my relationship and feel like this is a silly reason to breakup.

If you feel lost, mentally unwell, depressed etc. You should feel like you can go to your partner, but don’t be ashamed for leaving if that’s what you need. Ask to take a break, or leave for therapy.
Take care of yourself.
