Hey guys, my boyfriend is going on holiday next week for 2 weeks. I’m really worried how I’m going to cope without him around. I’m so scared that he’ll die or I’ll never see him again. Plus, he might not have signal for some of the time so I won’t even be able to see if he’s ok☹️ anyone been though this and have any advice on how to cope? FREAKING OUT

Hi Emma! Sorry that you’re going through this too. I hope you’re not feeling too bad today. Logically I know that he’ll be absolutely fine, he’s very switched on and knows how to look after himself. But the crazy irrational part of my mind tells me all sorts of awful things that could happen☹️ I guess I’ll have to try my best to listen to my rational mind and keep calm! Feel free to chat to me if it ever gets too much x

Hey Emma, he doesn’t leave until tomorrow so I’m spending some time with him today but I can feel the anxiety building up:( Sorry it’s been difficult for you, but well done for hanging in there! Before you know it he’ll be back and you would have made a massive achievement

Hey Emma, how is it going for you now? Hope you’re doing better! It’s currently 2am here and I’m up worrying that something has happened to my boyfriends plane even though he isn’t due to land until 4am! Wish I could just chill:(

Hey, glad you’re doing better! Yeah I completely understand, I’m just trying to take it one day at a time. But I’m not sure I can cope with two weeks of not sleeping properly and constantly feeling so anxious and crying all of the time:(

Also I feel so bad that I keep messaging him saying how awful I feel, because I don’t want to ruin his holiday. But I genuinely can’t cope like this for two weeks

Thanks so much Emma, talking to you is a really big help because I know you truly understand what I’m going through! It’s going to be such a big achievement for both of us and I think we should be really proud for dealing with this?
