Stockholm syndrome
Currently in an emotionally, mentally and verbally abusive relationship. This vicious cycle that my partner abuses me-stress hormones released and then when things settle down he promises to never do this thing again makes my brain to release oxytocin and then this whole vicious cycle keeps on going. I'm losing my mind. I feel so negative inside. I want to snap out of it but I'm unable to do it. Every night I cry so much. It's affecting my studies, my health, my everything.

Hi, I am sorry you are feeling this way. I am sure this situation is taking a toll on you. It looks like you would want to snap out of this and aren’t able to and feeling helpless because you feel you have no control over yourself. The reason we stay in any relationship even when we know it’s not doing us any good is because we are receiving something from it which is a need we have. Once we identify the need they are fulfilling for us and work on fulfilling that in ways that feel safe for us by doing it ourselves, we will be able to find a way to heal ourselves. Through this process of fulfilling that need, I am sure you will also find some strength to find a way to make yourself safe. Safety could mean moving our of this relationship also. It depends on what you want and how you want it. You’re brave! Stay

Hi,dear it is good that you understood your problem.When you don't take action against it,you are indirectly encouraging him.There are many ways to face this problem.
Don't be a victim.
Be strong enough to tell him that abusive behaviour is not acceptable.
He is bullying you.
There can be some psychological problems with him.Talk to him when he is calm and ask him to get help from a
Psychologist.
If he is not willing,then you need to take a decision whether you want to stay with him .
Call for help.

Involve people you trust.

Getting out of an abusive relationship isn’t easy, but you deserve to live free of fear.
If you’re trying to decide whether to stay or leave, you may be feeling confused, uncertain, frightened, and torn. Maybe you’re still hoping that your situation will change or you’re afraid of how your partner will react if he discovers that you’re trying to leave. One moment, you may desperately want to get away, and the next, you may want to hang on to the relationship. Maybe you even blame yourself for the abuse or feel weak and embarrassed because you’ve stuck around in spite of it. Don’t be trapped by confusion, guilt, or self-blame. The only thing that matters is your safety.
If you are being abused, remember:
You are not to blame for being battered or mistreated.
You are not the cause of your partner’s abusive behavior.
You deserve to be treated with respect.
You deserve a safe and happy life.

counseling will help you to resolve confusions

Hello,
I understand that once you are emotionally involved, it is difficult to snap out of a relationship, however abusive.
The mind gets used to the discomfort, and it feels scary to make a change.
More than anything else, you need mental strength, support to go through the process of change. I am here to help you find yourself and your particular solution. Not someone else's but what you can do and feel comfortable with.
Stay strong.
Next Steps
Please get professional help to understand and find strength within you
