Long distance relationships

Lora • 22 year old final year law student.
Hi girls,
​To give you a little background I'm 21 and have 'officially' been with my boyfriend for 6 months, though we have been on and off since we started university 2 years ago. I'm currently studying abroad for a year in the US and he's still at home in the UK. I'm 2 months in, with 3 months to go until I visit home.
​Basically my issue is I'm really struggling without him. It's not that I'm attracted to other people or I don't want to be with him or don't love him anymore or anything like that. I just miss him to the point that it's crippling. I'm focusing all my energy on my university work and I go to the gym 5x a week because it does help me feel happier and gives me something to get out of bed for in the morning, but inside I can't shake how miserable I'm feeling. I've told him all this and he feels it too. I know this year is going to make us stronger in the long term but if anyone has had a similar experience and has any tips that might help me to cope I'd be so grateful.
