My boyfriend doesn’t care and I want to die.

Yes I am reliant on my boyfriend. Yes I have abandonment issues. I suffer with PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder. My boyfriend never talks to me when I’m upset , Never consoles me , never tries to help me or think of anything to ever say to me. I deal with serious trauma of being abused in my past . I don’t have family. No mom no dad , neither in my picture . My best friend is half way across country , I live on disability because I can’t keep a job and only get just over $700 a month to survive , I can’t afford to pay for rent on my own as a one bedroom in my city goes for 1600$ plus a month utilities not included. sometimes I feel like I care too much about him and us. Our relationship is a constant cycle. And I choose to stay. It’s my fault I know. The 3 years we have been together he has consistently promised things only to never get around to anything . Recently, he has gotten really bad. To the point where he doesn’t even respond to me when I talk sometimes anymore, he will just blatantly ignore me. And when I ask him why he will angrily say “ cause I don’t know what to fuckin say “ I ask him can he just speak to me normally and not speak to me the way he does , he always says yes baby I know I need to change and I will but then never does. I am more than suicidal . I have no family, I have no friends. No support system. I’m extremely emotionally fragile currently and don’t want to be alive. He has the tendency to miss out on a lot of work and call in sick. We are struggling with money. He was supposed to go to work but kept falling asleep in the morning , so I got upset and told him “ I’m not going to keep waking you up in the mornings so you don’t miss work , you don’t change because you are too reliant on me “ he relies on me for everything yet I have all this undealt trauma that I’m supposed to be working through but instead I stay home to try to tend to the relationship when really my boyfriend does nothing but get a free pass to never think, always prolong progression , float through life by pretending to not know until someone else steps in and does it for him, oh and when he hurts me I have to console him because then he just beats himself up. After I told him what I said this morning , he proceeded to whine in which , I was aggravated so I mocked him by whining back at him, he responded to that my jumping on top of my and grabbing a full head of my hair with both of his fists and slapping me . Then proceeded to cry to me for doing that to me literally 2 minutes after he did it. I’m speechless. I don’t know what to say or think. I have no support system. No mental stamina or strength. I am extremely emotionally dependant on him especially with him being the only person I have , and I know I will just get told to leave or figure something out . But it’s akways much said than done. I have been thinking a lot recently about dying. About how to painlessly kill myself . But then I just feel bad about who winfind my body. I feel bad about someone having to see that or even take care of that. But I also don’t wanna do that to myself somewhere all alone where I will be scared and all alone. It’s conflicting. I have a lot of pain inside of me. My heart hurts a lot. I’m currently sitting alone crying with sharp pain in my chest while he sleeps and skipped out on going to work .... he has already given me his shitty apology and that’s all I will get ... I know I probably won’t hesr what I want from this, if anyone even reads this or decides to reply to it. I’m alone. And I just wish he loved me, I just wish he would stop making things so hard by doing this cycle. I just want to be happy. As a little girl all I ever dreamed of was to just spend the rest of my life with someone who truly loves me and to create my own family since I’ve never had my own. But even that seems impossible at this point . I wish he loved me properly. I wish things would just be okay. But I know that’s pribably not how things will ever be . I wish I had someone. I wish I could just enjoy my life. I know I’ll just be told to leave and get away !! And just figure it all out !!! And honestly it’s like no. No I can’t just get up and leave I have no where to go, and realistically , I’m fucking suicidal, I’m not going to help myself . I’m not going to push: I know how I get . I will plunge into a severe manic/ mania if I were to leave . I know myself. It won’t work out the way I’d want it to. I wouldn’t be strong I’ve tried to go before and I couldn’t. I ended up in emerge with a tube down my throat. I’m all alone and i always will be

keep holding on
for anyone who is having a hard just keep holding on i PROMISE you that things will get better even if you cant even fathom even the slightest possibility...
Then do you want to stay in this suffering?
It's clear that he's the reason your condition worsens.
He doesn't help and treat you right.
You're better off without him
ReplyYour life is more precious than your boyfriend.Dump him .
Be independent. And most importantly Love yourself.
ReplyDon't waste your precious life on a person like him.
You should just leave him.
Maybe you can find someone better loving and caring person afterwards.
Don't lose your hopes.
ReplyI can't tell you that everything will be okay because I don't even know that for sure. I think that you should really talk to a psychiatrist or a counselor if you already aren't. Don't ever be afraid to reach out and call for help. I think that by taking this small step in helping yourself will, and can possibly get you in a more positive direction. It is definitely not okay that your boyfriend did that to you, or that he doesn't try when it comes to your relationship and life in general. Like the others have suggested, it'd be best if you left him. In my opinion, I think that he is making your condition worse than it has to be. All of these things, you don't have to do all at once, changing your life in any way takes time, it doesn't happen in a span of a day. No one is rushing you to do these things, but for your health and safety, we want you to take these steps and become much healthier. Don't go making a self-fulfilling prophecy by saying that you can't. I know that somewhere along the line you're thinking that it is easy for me to say all of these things, and it's true that I haven't been in your shoes, but that doesn't mean that you can't do what is needed to be done. I really hope that you are okay and that you're going to take things one day at a time. If you ever need to talk, feel free to message me and we can exchange numbers if you'd like.
ReplyHi, thank you so much. I was afraid to come on here and read the responses. Thank you for the kind words, I don’t really know what to say right now. Besides the fact that I am trying my best to take it one day at a time. I am currently seeing a psychiatrist. But I still often feel very weak mentally and emotionally. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts and such a well written response ❤️
ReplyIt's good to hear that you're taking things slowly, and talking to a psychiatrist. Slowly but surely, you will be able to become stronger mentally and emotionally, all in due time. There will be days when you feel lower than most and that's okay, just try your best to dust yourself off and get back on the saddle.
ReplyEverything looks impossible before its done but I KNOW you are stronger than what you think. Listen, baby steps okay. First things first, please please please stop pining for his love. He doesnt deserve you, and you know it so stop chasing him and let him go. Next, find things that make you happy. Outside of this relationship, think about yourself. Think about what you feel like watching on tv, eating, doing and do it, even without him if you can. Be unapologetically yourself. You will start loving yourself and he may want you more but you may not want him! Life has so much to offer and you are never ever stuck. It only feels like you are because you trapped yourself in your own mind. You can do it! Please dont give up. Let other men flirt with you. Use a dating app in secret if you must. Keep your options open so you can inevitably leave him later for someone better. Just dont officially cheat on him cause thats not cool.
ReplyHi Friend,
You deserve to be treated soo much better, and you are soo strong for withstanding all that you've been through. It's not easy having no one to call about your problems. Please, please don't give up on your life and please don't lose hope in new beginnings! God can change everything for you, God can be your shoulder to cry on. He loves you and is here for you. Lean on him for your strength. I'm going to pray for you 💛
