From your post it sounds like your boyfriend is having a hard time. The drug/alcohol abuse may be the result of an undiagnosed mental illness or he may be trying to self soothe with food/alcohol/drugs. Seeing a therapist would probably be a good place to start.
Yeah, I'm sure you're right. Regardless of what he could/could not be diagnosed with, he needs some help. I don't know how to talk to him about it, he just shuts down whenever I bring it up.
