One of THE worst feelings ever IMO.

One of the worst feelings ever IMO has got to be knowing your SO hurting emotionally yet they're so far away you can't get to them.

[Trethsparr]

Agreed.

Hurting from being away from you? I tend not to think about it, mostly because I can deal pretty well with the distance so I figure he can too.

No, just stuff going on in her life she has no control over.

[snow_girl]

Then yes I would agree....but I don't think I would go as far to say its the worst ever.

[paulawriteslove]

Yes, that's always hard. But the most you can do is be there for them.

It's the worst feeling

[loveknowsnodistance27]

Yeah, it's a pretty terrible feeling. =[

It is a horrible feeling, my boyfriend is going through a lot of personal issues, and sometimes he just gets really down, and a lot of times there's nothing I can do, it sucks because I wish I could be there when he's hurting or have the right words to say, but there really isn't much I can do I'm just accepting it and trying my best to be there for him emotionally, even if I can't be there physically.

That happened last week with me. I was going through some insane depression due to some sudden events. At first my SO didn't catch it, and treated everything business as usual. Once he caught on, he practically smothered me in love. He called a lot more frequently to make sure I was ok and was constantly reminding me how much I was loved not only by him but by my friends and family. We only live a few hours apart, so he was able to get one day off work to come see me (I understand not everyone is so fortunate). He really made it obvious that while I was struggling I was the only thing on his mind. It made such a difference in helping me sort through things, knowing that he was concerned about me and literally there whenever I needed him.

I totally agree. Whenever hes gotten upset or depressed how i so badly wish i could be there for him to just support and comfort him. is defiantly one of the worst parts of being in a LDR

I was going through a really hard time recently, and one of the reasons I was able to get through was because of my SO. He just made me feel so loved and important that the situation became slightly bearable.

[mllebamako]

I completely agree. My SO is going through a really tough time right now and I wish that I could comfort him. Sometimes he doesn't want to talk about it but when you're LD, all you have is your words. It's not like I can hug him or cuddle with him and comfort him in silence.

[Elissa]

I agree
