My boyfriend just left for 4 months to study abroad. How can I make the transition easier/stay positive?
My boyfriend of 2 1/2 years just left today to go to Argentina to study abroad in the fall. He has been my rock, my best friend, and although we're both only 20, I can't see myself with anyone else. I'm a college student home for the summer with babysitting and waitressing to keep busy, but without good friends at home, and a busy family, I relied almost solely on him. I feel extremely depressed which I know is normal, but I really don't want to be sad every day from now til Thanksgiving. I plan on joining clubs/getting more involved when I go back to school, and a mid-September visit should make it a little easier. I just wish I had a good way to deal with the pain of having "my everything" leave for such a long time.

I know exactly how.you feel. You pretty much described my exact life with our age, being a waitress, family, the bf, everything. Except my boyfriend will be going to med school across the country. You are so right to keep yourself busy. I think clubs and stuff is a great idea. You have to learn how to be without him. If you are at home, give yourself projects to do like cleaning or puzzles or something I don't know. But I would steer clear of love movies. Watching them will only make you miss him more. Just keep yourself busy and four months will go by faster then you think. Good luck.
