I wont see my girlfriend until her spring break which is 56 days away. She goes to school in Texas and I am in Vermont. We started dating right before the end of last semester while I was still at the same college as her but then I transferred back home. I had already made my decision about transferring before I met this girl. I have three semester of school left after this one and I really miss her. I sometimes contemplate dropping out of college so that I can work and go see her more often. I have cried everyday this week because I miss her dearly. We have talked about marriage and she wants me to propose to her and I plan on it because I have never felt this way towards someone. I was wondering how to cope with my emptiness and how to keep going in school. I tend to go home a lot after class because I get really bad anxiety but being home sometimes makes it even more difficult because I just go to my room and mourn about how much I miss her. What do I do to get through this empty feeling? I need my girlfriend more than ever.

Empty feeling... Yes, I think a lot of us feel that. How do you stay in contact during the semester? I find preparing and sending gifts /cards for my love really helps. I spent the last two days writing 28 Open When -letters to give to him when he comes. I also Sing him songs. Skype helps, Viber helps, doing work and pursuing hobbies help. I saw my boyfriend last time December 3rd. It was horrible being without him for Christmas and New Year, I cried so much that week. Generally, it is bad after 3-4 weeks because it has been so long and still equally long to go. Once the month passes, it gets easier and it is more pleasant to count down. My boyfriend makes me do holding up fingers for counting, that is so cute. Others make count down calenders. There are lots of different ways. Have a look at the tip section and try something different. As for the future, you may write a list over the different options you have and the pros and cons. That may make it easier to decide. Good luck

Welcome to the forum.
Being in an LDR is hard, but it's not impossible. Believe it or not, it does have some good points. My SO and I have grown very close as a result of the distance, because we've had to spend time talking. Differentcountries is right about doing things for your SO. Keeping busy with ways to show your love to your SO does help. It's important to find ways to connect, and the little ways count big!
Be sure to try some of the ideas in: https://www.lovingfromadistance.com/...uplestodo.html. My SO and I have tried most of these. While some aren't exactly are normal cup of tea, we've had fun trying new activities together.
Love is a wonderful gift that should be cherished. Most everybody on this forum would tell you that they would love to close the distance, if given the chance. You have to weigh your options with relocating for school, though. Would you and your SO be better off in the future, if you stayed put and finished your education? Or does it not make any difference?
There are tons of good ideas in previous threads here on the forum, too. Good luck.Comment
