My boyfriend is far away
You may think that this should be in the relationship stress thread but it is also connected with social anxiety. I am very lonely. I just moved to another country and I am studying here, far away from my boyfriend. I cried so damn hard this very painful for me because I dont really have friends and hes a true friend/bf to me. Its just so hard now that hes away i feel so lonely because its so hard to make friends at the huge university i go to esp that i have social anxiety. Im sooooo sad idk how i can do this. I wish he were here for me. I really miss his hugs and kisses :( thanks for taking ur time to read this. I just had to let it off my chest.

This is a really difficult situation to deal with but I can see that you are exceptionally strong for taking this big step in your life. As someone who is socially anxious, I know how you feel.
Practice breathing. I know you probably hear this a lot but it really does help. I spend a couple of minutes breathing slowly and it lifs a lot of stress off my head. I also challenge my thoughts. Whenever you think bad things, remind yourself, that it's not true. Often these thoughts take over, and while we cannot control them, its always okay to challenge them.
Keep in touch with yourself and what you want. Keep in touch with him and if it helps, you can start practising breathing together.
Again, you are beyond strong. All my love to you. <3
I used to be in long distance relationships so I know what you feel. you can try to join goups of interest / hobbies to feel less lonely and you can schedule specific times in your calendar to visit or be visited by your boyfriend. Maybe this will help ease the anxiety
