we've dated and broken up before this, so I'm not worried about anything changing since we're also best friends and we both get over this type of thing quickly. when he told me he wanted to break up with me, he said it was because he wasn't sure the relationship is healthy. He tells me his bad habits, but I haven't been. he said he wanted to start to work on himself and for me to work on myself. I told him I would try to, but I have no idea how. I still love him platonically of course and I want to change for him, but I don't know where to start or how I'm supposed to start getting better. I find comfort in the pain and emptiness I feel now but I feel I might get worse rather than better. I don't want to get better for myself.

my boyfriend told me he's going to attempt on his birthday (which is soon) I'm talking him out of it slowly whenever he brings it up, but he still says hes going to try. i know hes hesitating because he told me "youre gonna make it a lot harder to leave" and other things similar. any advice to convince him more to stay?

The last time i brushed my teeth properly was really around 3 years ago. My dentist doesn't say anything about my teeth, even says they're better than other people's. Even when I shower and clean myself multiple times, i still feel gross.
