Distance

[sav_11]

I haven’t been able to date with my anxiety for a long time. I just recently in the past few months started talking to and dating my current boyfriend who is my first boyfriend. We met at school and now the semester is over and he’s graduated and I have one more semester. He’s 3 and a half hours away and I’m losing it. My anxiety is through the roof that I’ll ruin it or that the distance which seems so permanent will ruin us eventually. I just don’t know how to bear the distance and the anxiety that comes with it.

Have you talked to him about your anxiety and travelling? Knowing why you might find it hard to see him will clear up that worry. And if he wants to keep seeing you then you'll(together) find a way to make it work.

Long distance relationships can work well, but only time will tell. What does he think about it all?

Thank you for responding! I have told him about my anxiety and he’s so supportive and I told him that I’m worried, it’s all so hard but he’s great with it.
