Anyone getting withdraw symptoms?

[Belle]

Ive been feeling terrible about not having enough time to talk to my SO. There is only a three hr difference but its already interfering with everything. I guess it has to do more with the fact that i was used to talking to him all day. Now, i have class all morning and he works all afternoon on weekends. By the time he wakes up, its the afternoon here and i have class and hwk. Then i have to go to sleep before the sun even sets with him.
I look around the site and there are people with even worse time differences and i guess i was just spoiled. I was used to being able to text him all day ever day. Most of all, i was used to waking up to a text from him =) and go to sleep after talking to him.
Well, anyway, when i talked to my roommate, i realized how amazing he has been with me. He has been sweet, supportive and patient through it all. He prepared himself mentally for the fact that we wouldnt be able to talk as much and that i would be a brat about it. He has really encouraged me every time i freaked out these two weeks (first year of medical school) and even supported me when i told him about my plan to work at a clinic in mexico during summer (though it means being far from him even on my vacation).
I wish there were more hours in the day. Getting weened off my bf is giving me withdraw symptoms and making me very irritable.
Any of you experiencing this or an LDR after being CD?

I actually suffer from it a lot, it's a bad habit I picked up with a now ex friend I was dependent on. When he began working more I was getting withdrawal from not having him around to talk to and I would get irritable, mad, depressed, and cycle. I still do when I get to talk to him because then my brain tells me he'll talk to me tomorrow too and when he doesn't it's the same thing. The thing I try to remember is I filled my days before he was around me as a friend, much less a boyfriend, so I can very well fill them now.

I completely understand. It's been 3 months since I last saw my boyfriend, and it'll be about 2 months more til I se ehim, and we were starting to both go through withdrawal this past month until we cam eup with a solution of him visiting me.

I am having major withdrawal symptoms. My bf is in the hosptial and I am use to talking//texting to him 3+ hours a day and today I have gotten about 10 minutes. I HATE THIS FEELING! I cry myself to sleep everynight and look at his pictures...and watch the videos he has made me, and i cry and cry

I suffer from it, especially on Friday nights. (cause that's when he's super busy)

haha, we were never CD but I know what you mean. ^^; I have withdrawal from lack of cuddles. ^^; I find it hard to sleep at night and have taken to fluffing up a bunch of blankets to be a body shape so I can have some semblance of cuddle. O ^ O

Yes--all the time. It'll be almost another year until I can see my guy again, and I already miss him so much--even though we've been apart for already 2 months now. It's so hard seeing couples that can physically touch each other--like hold each other's hand, and hug and kiss their SO all they want.

Oh man. Seeing couples walking around is the WORST. I don't resent other people their joys, but it just reminds me of what I could or would be doing if he were here. It doesn't help with the separation, that's for sure.

I actually only get that with kids. I always think "will ours be this cute?" Funny thing is I don't really want kids.

I find all of your definitions of withdrawal very weird. Then again, I've gone through cold turkey withdrawal of a physical drug addiction. I guess I'm lucky I'm a screw-up ;D. I've gone through the hardships you guys are describing. Not to the extent you're all describing, I don't really let myself get hung up on it. I'm just not that type of person.

There are different kinds, not just drug withdrawal. I know the drug kind very well as I used to masochistically force on myself when I was younger. But with people it's pretty much what everyone is saying, you're an emotional rollercoaster, you pine over their absence, and so on.

My bf and went through it in July/August pretty badly. We would cry while talkin cause we missed each other and wanted each other so badly next to each other. But we talked about it and both realized that its not good and due to his college already startin we decided to focus more on our lifes here yet not forget about each other and well still talkin and its workin so far Its not easy but you need yourself to be distracted.

I think I had a bad episode just yesterday, resulting in me being 2 hours late for work, because I could not for the life of me stop crying =/ I think it was because the night before I had crashed in a friends spare room, which had a double bed, and I was up all night because the space next to me was "adam's space" and he wasn't there =/ I am used to texting all say too, so getting used to that is hard. I still can't sleep, and I can't really blame that on jet lag anymore. I'm sure it won't be as bad once school starts and I have things to occupy my mind, but for now, I will pine and pray I get through the next couple of weeks ok. As long as we keep talking, I will be fine.

suffering from it after she was here for a couple of weeks, i miss be able to walk into a room and there she is! *Sighs* that will change in 2 months

[NaNi]

Yeah. I do. I wanted to spend my time with my SO before we met for the first time, but after we spent 5 weeks with each other... I miss everything. I miss all those things that normal CDR couples can do. Holding hands, going out, kissing, making love... just everything. It was really hard going back to just writing emails or talking over Skype after all that.
