summer woes

[desolationangel]

so, i've been practically living with my boyfriend for the past year that i was at college. we've gotten used to being around each other constantly, and are also each others' best friends.

now, i'm back home for the summer, which means i won't see him for four months. at all. add to that being back in texas with a conservative family that doesn't understand me, and the fact that i can't get a job due to a recent injury, and it looks like i'm in store for some miserable months!!!

i just needed to vent, and see if anyone else has similar issues.

I can't say I face similar issues, but I can certainly relate to the family not understanding you and the isolation. Generally my mood seems to be worst during the summer to begin with; add to it everything you describe and I think it would be pretty much intolerable. Hang in there, stay indoors where it's air conditioned. Maybe you could take a brief vacation, perhaps meet your BF somewhere halfway (?)

Things we overcome make us who we will become. Sounds like a suckky answer, but time will pass quickly, although it might seem to be dragging by. It'll provide time for introspective thought about the relationship, your beliefs challenged will hone your ideologies.. If it's what "will" happen, then make lemon-aide outta the lemons.. *hugs* T.

thanks for the advice.

i guess it's just a matter of not dwelling on the negative, that and ctreating enormous long distance bills!

There's a way that maybe you could avoid the long-distance bills and still talk to your boyfriend as much as you want. If you both have MSN messanger, microphones (a cheap one can be bought for $20 or so) and speakers/headphones, you can chat over the internet just like a phone call. I used to do it with my ex-BF and a guy I knew who lived across the country (I live in canada, so that's FAR), and it doesn't cost anything beyond normal internet time.

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you exactly how to do it at the moment, but it's more than possible, and you could probably get it by fiddling around.

I hope time goes quickly for you :hug:

i'm seperated from my love right now. hm. 'seperated' makes it sound like we're in the middle of a divorce.. let's say that she's going to school in another state and i'm stuck where i am until i can find a job where she is. it's hard, because i don't know when said job will arrive, and since funds are tight with the both of us, a visit is pretty hard unless i have a job interview.

i don't have any advice. i just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. i miss my love dearly.

Well.. you're really not alone. I'm on a year-long exchange in Taiwan and I leave to go back to America in 66 days! The anxiety is killing me since I've already been here for 10 months and I still have 8 hour BORING school days for another 20 or so days. Just hang in there. Know that time will pass. What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. :yes:
