I know I need to keep busy, and i try but it is so easy to sit and mope sometimes and once your started it's difficult to stop. I know two months is not long at all, but sometimes it feels like an awful long time which makes it even harder not to sit down and cry. I wish I could be like everyone else and just get on with it and not get upset. I had to drive past her house today, I nearly broke down and cryed then. I feel so stupid.

My g/f left for new york for two months about 2 weeks ago. I know we will be fine, I have no doubts about this. The problem I have is that I really miss her adn I don't know what to do to feel better. The worst times are in the morning I really want to call her but I cant becasue of the 5 hour time difference and the fact that I don't want to smother her. We call every other day and speak by email most days, but she is very busy doing her film course so her emails are generaly short. I just feel fed up adn that all I am living for at the min is the end of april so I can see her again. I normally feel a bit better by the afternoon, when I have been at work for a few hours. By the time I get home and it's time for a phone call I feel ok again and it's great when I get to talk to her, but in the morning it all starts over again. Any advice people have as to how to get over this would be gratefully apprecaited. One last thing, when I do feel better and am having fun I sometimes feel guilty, should I?

thanks for the advice. I'm trying to keep busy and go out with my friends more and it does help. I seem to be feel better by the afternoon at work, once I've got into my work, It just takes a while to get going in the morning. I'm trying not to let my girlfriend know how down I am sometimes cos I want her to have a good time and not worry about me. She knows I miss her but I don't want to put anymore pressure on her. I think she's probably figured it out anyway. I guess I've just got to get on with it and look forward to my holiday and seeing her again. It just seems to be such a long way off sometimes.

I live in the uk and my girlfirend has gone to new york to do a film course for 2 months. I know thats not very long compared to the seperation some of you are dealing with so I'm sorry if I sound pathetic. Anyway I really miss her and I'm not coping that well, especialy in the mornings. I find it difficult to concentrate at work and often get upset. The time difference doesn't help because I can only really call her at night, which is great when I talk to her but I feel bad again the next day. 2 months should be a really short time but sometimes it seems like the end of april is such a long time away. I'm going to new york and the end of april for a holiday with her, and looking forward to this often helps, but I was wondering if you had any ideas for coping when I get really down. Thanks Sam
