Why can't I stop crying? I feel so silly. Make me feel better?
I live with my boyfriend. We've lived together almost a year and we are really really close. We do everything together and I was so excited to have our first Thanksgiving living together. He got a call a couple days ago that his grandpa died unexpectedly and his parents wanted to fly him to Indianapolis (his hometown) for the funeral. They scheduled it for Friday and Saturday this week so he had to leave today. I was kind of upset about them making his flight for the morning of Thanksgiving because I've been his girlfriend for a long time and I felt kind of overlooked by his parents and I felt like they could have easily made it for tonight. We hurried up and got everything ready for Thanksgiving so we could do it the day before and we had an awesome Thanksgiving yesterday. But I'm all alone in Florida today thru Sunday morning. I feel fine with it but after he left at 6am this morning I started crying. I have no one down here. My family lives in Missouri and so do my friends. I'm 19 and for the first time I'm completely alone. We rent a room in a house with a bunch of people and they all kinda creep me out (a few are oldish men) so I'm just hanging out in the bedroom playing video games while my boyfriend texts and calls me every once in awhile. He's been sending me adorable texts all day but every time he texts or calls I cry. I shouldn't feel so alone right? I have an anxiety disorder so maybe that's it. I really don't like being 1,000 miles away from everyone I know. Make me feel better? He left only 10 hours ago and if I'm feeling like this I don't know how I'm going to make it until Sunday morning.

Hang in there. The key to pushing through adversity is managing how you overcome it. It may seem like an eternity but try to get through it one day at a time. If you try and set a routine or agenda to keep you active the less you'll focus on he's away and how much you miss him. It would completely unrealistic to say this would make you forget his absence, but I can assure you by keeping yourself busy it will take your mind off things. I have to say for being 19 you are a very adventurous for living that far away from friends and family by your own free will. The important thing is that despite the distance and family emergency he's tending to he's making an active effort to communicate with you. Remind yourself of this and how much he cares about you. Since I'm a glass-half-full kind of guy think of this experience as a building block to strengthening your guys relationship. Since this probably won't be the first or last time this happens it's good to think how you'll handle and prepare for them when they occur. I'm not sure how much it would make you feel better, but just know that having someone out there no matter the distance, it's temporary and a lot of people don't have what you do. It will only be for a couple days, try and keep yourself busy and think how happy the two of you will be when he returns.
