You can TELL him all you want. It is only going to push him further away. You need to do this for yourself right now. He may look at you in 3 months and think, what the hell did I do. Until you do this, he will only continue to see you for what you are right now...a mess. Believe me when I say I know how hard you are struggling. I have been to the well of scum that lies below rock bottom. But I am making my way back out into the sunshine that is my life. You need to get a life. Act as if...do something to make you feel better. Take the focus off of him and sooner or later he will focus on you.
