My boyfriend says its in my mind and I can get over it on my own. I’ve started cutting and no one knows and it’s embarrassing. I need help. What should I do? (24 yr old female college student)

My boyfriend is having anxiety problems so bad sometimes he vomits for a day straight! I think its a type of seperation anxiety because he cannot handle it when I’m away from him! He goes everywhere with me everywhere except work! Help me please!
