Coping with Long Distance Separation

oddly enough i recently had a similar experience; my bf went into the army and was gone for 2 and a half months for boot camp. i got to call him once a week, but i felt like you do, like i need him to keep me together. i always went to him for emotional support. in the end it ended up being a good thing because i was able to self-soothe instead of relying on him, but it took some time to get used to. it really wasn't as bad as i anticipated; the first 2-3 weeks were hard but after that i figured out ways to distract myself when i was missing him or feeling anxious, and eventually i was able to hold myself up without him which made us stronger once he got back. i would recommend picking up some new hobbies like crocheting, painting, etc. to keep yourself busy!!
