My boyfriend of a year and a half made it through one year of a Long Distance Relationship (Arkansas, USA and London, England) by making sure to schedule time for each other, watching shows/movies together on Netflix, and creating new "traditions" - he started telling me bedtime stories in his afternoon and I told him bedtime stories in my mornings. I suffer with anxiety and depression too but my boyfriend would go out of his way to make sure I knew I was still very special to him by sending me messages, letting me know who he was hanging out with/what they were doing and saying "I can't wait for you to come home so we can do x, y, or z". For important days (birthdays/anniversaries) he would send me flowers and chocolates and if he was having a bad day, I'd order a pizza to get delivered to his dorm. The key to making it through a LDR is to remember that your SO is a sentient person. You have to go out of your way to make sure they know you love them even when they're not there and that means getting creative. When we were going through some hard times, we both downloaded the Couple app on our phones and we used to thumbkiss for hours. It's really hard at first, but as soon as you slip into a rhythm with it, it's definitely doable. Best of luck!!!
Long Distance Relationship.
My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half now, but in two weeks, he's moving to another state for 6 months. He won't be within driving distance, and I can't afford plane trips to see him. I know that 6 months isn't a super long time, compared to some ladies who go longer than that without seeing their significant others, but for me this is going to be really hard. I'm currently fighting anxiety and depression, and he's the only one who knows how to help me through my worst anxiety attacks, and my darkest days. I know he's the one for me, and we plan to get married in a few years. Just wondering, how do some of you ladies make it through your long distance relationships? Any advice is appreciated!
