It seems to me that my girlfriend tends to take life too seriously. She is very depressed and frequently breaks down at the slightest of problems. She says that things will never get better and she frequently and abruptly self harms, even on good days. She is obsessed with her weight but does not take necessary steps like researching how to eat healthily or take care of her self nor will she take a shower regularly. She has steadily gained a lot of weight over the course of our relationship due to eating nothing but pasta and ice cream.

She is also a daily drinker which she uses to dull her pains of reality.

There is not a time where she feels at peace. She is very intense all of the time. She has had a checkered past with her old relationships. I didn’t know it walking into the relationship that it would affect her so much but now I feel as though I can do nothing but be a sort of shoulder to cry on every day.

We live together so this is starting to feel like a prison sentence.
