This is my first and only LDR. I've never experienced anything quite as hard as being away from my best friend and dearest love. We've been together for 2 years and 3 months.
I know we're not as far from each other as most couples (he in texas and I in illinois) but us being 20 and broke college students makes it hard to see each other. Right now we've been trying to plan our summer. Well I just applied (and probably got) an internship here where I live for this summer and because of this, I don't know if we'll even get to be with each other this summer and this just about tears my heart out. I hate that I have to decide between my career and the person I love most. I've been trying to stay strong but this and a bunch of other stressing matters just keep coming at me and now all I want to do is stay in bed and cry.
This is the worst because when I get like this I don't want to talk to anyone, even my love (I've a bit of a history with depression).
Does anyone have any advice on how to stay positive? Is it ok to break down sometimes? I don't have anyone else in my life going through a LDR and it's hard to talk to them about it because they can't really understand what I'm going through.
Any advice or suggestions would be more than appreciated.
