Distance is often difficult for people in relationships. Think about long distance relationships: the first thing people say about them most of the time is how hard they are. Support each other in whatever way you can. And remind each other that it’s okay if you’re both frustrated with the distance right now or feeling out of sync with each other. Things can improve again once this is over. In the meantime, this is a great opportunity to improve communication. Talk about the needs you both have and which of them aren’t being met. Brainstorm how you can change that or at least provide compassion and understanding for each other about those unmet needs for the time being.

Im so late to this but I go to college in a different state while my boyfriend works in our hometown. We are a bit used to the distance but its still hard. Distance really does make the heart grow fonder and we always said that the day we got to see each other again would make all the waiting worth it. The best thing we ever did was schedule calls. We would both be busy during the day so at 9pm we facetime and play games on our phones (imessage games) with each other and talk about our days. Communication can be be hard but as long as you make time to talk to each other and try and find little things to do together, like Netflix party mode or playing games and talking, you will be just fine! At the end of the day if you have real feelings for someone you can get through times like this together! and its okay to question things or overthink and worry so long as you’re communicating that. I have thoughts like that all the time but my boyfriend knows how my brain works and he can help give a little extra reassurance. So just be open and talk about your thoughts good or bad!

It’s normal ❤️ my partner and I haven’t seen each other for months bc of this and we fought a lot more at the start too. It’s harder to feel affection when you can’t touch/kiss/etc. Do you ever feel scared that quarantine is gonna make you fall out of love? That’s my fear. Stay strong, and remember that this will pass and we will all find relief someday if we stick through it!

Someone pls help w ROCD
I’m really frustrated with myself. I got diagnosed with ROCD about 2 and a half weeks ago and now it’s taken over my life. I was just with my boyfriend who is absolutely amazing and I was obsessed with 2 and a half weeks ago and then a switch flipped and I started questioning everything and have gone numb. I noticed immediately something was wrong and booked an appt with my therapist who sent me to an OCD therapist who I meet with on Wednesday for the first time. I’m frustrated because when I’m with him I know what I should be feeling and can acknowledge how great he is and how good looking he is but I feel this block in my chest keeping me from feeling things. Anyone have any advice or has ever felt this way? I know I’m new to this and haven’t started therapy yet but my god it is so draining and the guilt I feel is insane. Let me know please🙏

Panicking
Hi, I need some advice please. My girlfriend has been in Mexico for a week and she’s gonna be there for two more weeks. She’s on vacation and I’m so excited for her and I’m so happy but she’s really bad at communicating. She’s really bad at texting and I know that, but my anxiety makes me make up things like she doesn’t care or she genuinely doesn’t wanna talk to me and it makes me panic. so I wanna ask her if she could communicate more but I don’t know how and I don’t wanna sound needy or annoying.. So I haven’t but I feel the anxiety of not know about her day.

I Feel Like a Liar Who Can’t Accept the Truth
Hi everyone, I’ve been struggling a lot with my thoughts and feelings about my boyfriend. He’s an amazing person—kind, loving, and supportive—but I constantly feel like I’m faking everything. It’s like I’m a liar pretending to love him, and deep down, I don’t actually want to be with him. Whenever he tells me he loves me or shows affection, I feel guilty because I think, What if I don’t love him back? It feels so real, like the truth is staring me in the face and I’m just refusing to accept it. I keep asking myself: Am I just staying with him because I’m used to him? What if I’ve never truly loved him? What if I’m a bad person for stringing him along? I don’t feel anything when we kiss or when he’s sweet to me, and that terrifies me. Sometimes I even feel irritated by him or like I don’t want to be around him, and then the guilt becomes unbearable because I know he doesn’t deserve that. This constant analyzing is taking over my life. I can’t even tell what’s real anymore. Am I lying to myself because I’m scared to face the truth? Or is this just my anxiety distorting everything? I feel like such a horrible person for even having these thoughts. If anyone has felt like this, please let me know how you managed to deal with it. I’m exhausted and just want to feel like myself again. he is also at my house amd i feel numb he tries to make me understand that i do like him and i feel so bad.
