Bostonbabe Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Just came back from my first weekend visit with the bf since he moved and feel like im right back where I started when he first left. The thing I have had most problems with is the anxiety. I usually wake up in the morning incredibly stressed with my heart pounding and it usually continues throughout my day with tiny 1 minute crying sessions occassionally. Those have been getting better however, the clenching-stressed out feeling I have doesn't. Its really impacted my apetite and I have been forgetting meals and am just generally too stressed to eat. I have been trying to find some strategies to calm myself down but I am guessing that time is the only answer in that a couple days I should be better, or at least where I was before the trip. Does anyone else have this problem when they come back from a visit? How do you deal with the anxiety those first couple days?
lala82 Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 My bf visited me last month. I had not see him for almost 5 months. We are separate by 8.000 miles. We had a fantastic holidays together. When I left him to the airport I felt completly empty and sad. I was very stress and anxious. I could not sleep properly. I started to get quiet busy doing different things like; reading, go out with my friends, go to the cinema. You need to priorise yourself. You cannot stop leaving your live. I know is very hard to be away of the person that you love; but you need to think positive. Also, try to socialize, do not be alone.
jessyboo Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 My boyfriend lives in New Jersey, USA, while I live in Ontario, Canada. I can completely understand where you are coming from. What's worse is when he's not here when you need him most. I get really bad panic attacks when I can't control all my emotions and he isn't here to help me, I find that worse than the stress of him leaving at the airport and such.
LikeCharlotte Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 I just freak out. Im human and it is horrible. I simply give myself permission to feel bad and it starts to fade in a week or so. Cry, complain, feel lost... its okay. You are having withdrawal symptoms. Cuddle a pillow and get through it. Just stay positive and keep the goal in mind.
Author Bostonbabe Posted July 30, 2010 Author Posted July 30, 2010 I have been wondering if this morning anxiety could be related to pms. I seem to have to worst reactions and have the biggest anxiety over the distance the week before my period. Does anyone else notice something like this?
