I (19F) have been with this guy (20M) for a bit over five months, we are currently long distance because of university

I’m not exaggerating when I say he’s the most perfect person (for me) I’ve ever met, now I know part of this is probably our relationship being so fresh, but I genuinely can’t find a single flaw or a thing with his personality that I dislike

We have very similar interests and goals and he’s just very caring, sweet, reassuring and supportive and everything I could ask for

However I’ve been struggling with my mental and physical health really badly for the past few weeks

It’s due to things completely unrelated to him and our relationship which is kind of why I feel like this is so unfair to him

But I just don’t think I can make a good partner right now, I can barely make myself get up every day, let alone checking my phone and even keeping in touch with anyone has been so exhausting, I have t talked to most of my friends in over a week

Unfortunately this is our main method of communication at the moment because of the distance, but I feel like I don’t have anything left to give

We barely talk now because I’m just at 0% energy and he’s being so sweet and still asking about my day and encouraging me but I just feel awful about everything

I want to sort out my mental health first, and heal my body a bit since I’ve just been feeling so exhausted lately, but I don’t think I can do that and still put energy into other things, I just don’t have it in me right now

But I always hear people say you shouldn’t break up just because it gets hard, and that the right person will stay with you no matter what? He’s even said before whenever I’ve been sad or stressed that he’s always gonna be by my side

But I really don’t know, of course I love him and this relationship so much and if I was in even just a bit better place with everything I’d want nothing more than to pursue it further, but like I said right now it just feels too much

I plan to let him know all this, but also I don’t expect him to wait for me or anything, I don’t know how long this will take and it doesn’t feel fair to him

I guess I’d just like to know what everyone else thinks? I don’t know if I’m overreacting and just pushing him away because I feel overwhelmed, or is it valid to want to be alone for a while to sort things out? Even if you still love the person and there’s nothing wrong with the relationship

Sorry for ranting, I just really need some advice right now
