Hi everyone. me and my boyfriend have been together for 3.5 years and we absolutely love each other. we have been through some tough times before but nothing like this. I have had ongoing mental health issues and a pile of stressors have come in to play recently and it overtakes my life. my boyfriend called me yesterday to say he has been feeling burnt out and doesn’t want to ruin his mental health and is scared that he will. he says he finds himself constantly worrying about me and it doesn’t give him the time to think about himself. he says he has lost a little bit of energy to see me and doesn’t want it to get worse. i genuinely don’t know what to do. we both want to stay together because we love each other and have stuck together through hard times before but we genuinely don’t know what strategies we can use for him to focus on his own mental health and take some of that responsibility off. thanks
TL;DR my mental health is affecting my boyfriends mental health and he doesn’t know what that means, and we need help to rebuild our relationship
