    Stuff to do?

    Ok so this question just popped into my head and i just wondered: What do you guys do to take your mind of the negative parts of being in LDR?Why do i ask this sometimes its just inevitable to think all day every second of my relationship and him and sometimes i end up getting to anxious about when we will get to see each other? when do we close the distance? And i need to do stuff to take my mind of things. What do you guys do to get your mind of those thoughts? =)

    I try to get busy at work and go out with some friends at least once a week... but weekends are painful as hell... I watch lots of TV and wait for him to be online... but I still manage to do things around the house, like cleaning and cooking... sometimes I make plans with friends to have lunch or a few drinks... or I organize silly sleepovers with my cousins... of course I keep thinking of him all the time, but since I'm having fun, I only focus on the good things and forget about the sadness and the distress...

      I don't go out and I don't drink. So it's a lot of waiting around, making myself as busy as possible with classes, work, school work and events on campus. Other than that it's mostly just sitting around. I watch a lot of TV.

        I'm finding it rather tough at the moment since I'm out of both education and work (temporarily), so I have too many idle hours on my hands. I don't really have anyone to go out with; I waste a lot of time on my laptop, and read when I can find the motivation I'm so looking forward to having activities to fill up my time with again!

          Since I'll graduate soon, I have a lot to do: finish writing my dissertation, learn for the big exams, worry about party plans and everything in between like cleaning, going out with friends, caring for family members.... if I have some free time and he's busy I watch TV or waste time on the internet. The rest is spent with talking to my SO and that is my favourite pastime.

            Now that I finished my studies, I usually just try to do pleasant things. Chat with friends, watch movies, cook, play games... Sometimes I clean. Things that keep you focused usually also take your mind off things.

              it was harder for me in the beginning- we're 8 months into it now and I used to cry a lot in the beginning. ever since we both switched to unlimited talking and texting I don't feel the negative aspects as much as I used to. I don't know when the next time I'm going to see my fiancee is, he might have to have spinal surgery, and it was his turn to come up here and meet everyone.

                I busy myself with schoolwork. I take a full load of hard classes so I have a lot of homework to distract me. My class schedule also will allow me to graduate early so I can close the distance faster so that is good motivation.

                I also have a part time job on campus. I hate the job so much but it's another distaction.

                Other than that, I hang out with my friends, watch too much TV, come on here, and sometimes do some "feel good" shopping :P

                  I work 40 hours a week.. And I have evening and day shifts.. So when I have evening shifts I work from 12:00 till 21:00 so sleep in in the morning.. When I have day shifts I work out, go running or watch movies..

                  Watching movies really clears my mind!! Don't have to deal with my own live but with fiction

                  What some people in LDRs sometimes forget, is that they are in a relationship! And we are in love! And we all love love! So we should be happy that we are 'with' our SO's! So hold on to the positive!! Enjoy the butterflies!!

                    I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE LAST THING!! I should focus on being in love and be positive and enjoy the butterflies. Im too anxious lately because I'm going to see him again in april and I'm just counting down the days and imagining what it will be like =) so i guess i can focus on that.

                      I don't drink out of respect for my SO. He doesn't drink, can't even stand the smell or taste of it. I don't go out because the area outside my campus is VERY sketchy, I don't have the money, and it's just an agreement we have. Works out fine for me though. I tried it once, not my cup of tea. I'm a movie, dinner, see the sights walk around kind of person. Not a club/bar person.

                        Forming a good group of friends, especially if you can find some other LDRers. I spend a lot of time planning for when we/could be together which seems to make the time go by faster.
