Depression comes in many forms and arrives at your doorstep with bags packed and looking to stay a while. Surviving long distance relationship depression can be even tougher on you, because of the obvious distance and lack of closeness you feel with your partner. I’m going to cover some tips I found helpful when I was suffering from long distance relationship depression at times in my life.
Fail To Plan, Plan To Fail
I found that planning time for my long distance relationship depression was as important. I was trying to cope with being upset, and I didn’t want to ruin the conversation with my partner. So I planned my grieving time earlier in my day so I could get it out of my system before our nightly talk. So planning time to deal with your long distance relationship depression is key to avoiding it altogether. Remember, you can spread long distance relationship depression pretty easy by having a few ‘downer’ conversations with your partner – pretty soon they’ll be coming down with it too!
Share A Passion With Your Partner
I found a good cure for my long distance relationship depression, was to share my passions with my partner. I loved nothing more than talking on the phone or over MSN with web cams. When I had warm, heartfelt conversations with my partner, we felt united, the distance became closer. I almost forgot about my long distance relationship depression until I hung up the phone or turned off the laptop. I found I had to draw on those warm and caring feelings in the times we couldn’t communicate – and this helped me cope with my long distance relationship depression.
