Separation anxiety ?

[Jmerrick22]

I know I'm 24 but I've been seeing a boy for a few months now and we've mutually developed separation anxiety . When I'm with him I feel loved safe and genuinely happy, but when I leave the next morning I feel very alone , and I have a hard time sleeping at night as does he . I really feel like he is the one he is my soulmate we're so in tune with eachother . I work an hour away and sometimes it just feels like omg 😲 I feel so far away. I've been more stressed lately too. What's your advice

Hello

At 24 you are still young and learning even though I do feel no matter how old we are we are always learning but with age we do get more in-control of our feelings and how to deal with them

A healthy relationship works best when we are not totally dependant on the other person to make us feel good as sometimes this can eventually put a strain on the relationship as it can get over powering

How you feel see it as natural you love someone so when you are apart you want to be with them but also see it as you cannot be with someone 24/7 so you have to start working on you as an individual and learn to love yourself because if you can then it will not feel as empty when that one person you feel you love more than anything can't be with you all the time

When someone is your soul mate you can be apart but still feel they are there with you , in your heart and your thoughts but keep those thoughts positive , focus on the laughs you may have had the day before and just try and look forward to the next time you will see them but work on you when you are apart so they will get an even better ,confident , self reliant partner each time they see you

Take Care x

That's good advice lulu-1 has given you, jmerrick22. Remember that anxiety exaggerates all our feelings and fears. So missing somebody who you like to be with is always going to be felt more strongly when we have high anxiety. Just accept it, that's all you can do until you overcome your anxiety when emotions will return to more usual levels.
