alwayslookingup Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 So I am still pretty new to this LDR thing since my boyfriend moved away in May. I saw him once at the end of May and I'm going to visit him Wednesday. It will have been 6 weeks since I have seen him. I have been so so so excited about this visit but now that it is approaching I am starting to feel a little anxiety in the pit of my stomach. Have any of you ever felt like this? And how do you deal with it? I am so overjoyed with the thought of seeing him. Perhaps it is the anxiety that I'll only have a few days with him? Or that I am nervous something will go terribly wrong with the plane ride there or that I'll get sick at some point. Aggghhhh..help!
hoping2heal Posted July 4, 2009 Posted July 4, 2009 LOL. I think I can somewhat relate. It seems like the closer you get to seeing them, the more excited you get, and the more anxious you get that something will go wrong. I guess because it's SO important to us, it makes anything going wrong seem that much more dire. I guess you have to roll with the punches. Not everything is going to go according to plan, in pretty much ANY situation, but you do the very best you can, and what happens which is out of your control; is just that. Out of your control. I hope it goes well and congrats .
Els Posted July 5, 2009 Posted July 5, 2009 Hmmm. The last time my SO visited, we had an accident during a really cool bondage sex scene that left a few unintended and rather... unpleasant aftereffects. Suffice to say that my butt and genitals weren't up for ANY sort of sexual play for the rest of the week. The sudden change in schedule and meals also brought out the worst of my Irritable Bowel Syndrome -- which means lots of bloating and flatulence. He, who was unused to such long plane rides, also had an aching back for the first few days. The time before that, I had one of the worst diarrhea episodes of my life, and so did he. But you know what? Despite all that, we still had a hell of a time. Yes it might have been better if all that hadn't happened, but EVEN so, each visit was still undescribably awesome, beyond my expectations and imagination. So don't worry! Life's like that, things often go wrong, but as long as it isn't TOO wrong (touch wood) -- and that's such a miniscule chance, really -- it'll turn out great regardless, if both of you are really meant for each other and WANT to make it great.
Author alwayslookingup Posted July 6, 2009 Author Posted July 6, 2009 Thanks for the words of encouragement I definitely have some anxiety issues in general so I always find a way to worry about things! It's only a couple days away now...crossing my fingers
