I understand this feeling, I feel like I have been relying on my partner for happiness for years, now our paths are going in different directions and we have to do long distance temporarily I feel lost and almost jealous that he is moving forward and I am not just yet as I’m still studying. I don’t have any real hobbies apart from the gym and I don’t have heaps of friends, in fact I find it difficult to distinguish who I can call a real friend because of how many times I have felt isolated despite making efforts. I find all of my conversations and thoughts link back to us in one way or another and my entire life has been consumed by the love I have for my partner. I don’t know how to move forward but I know for my own health, happiness and relationships I need to find a way of moving forward and loving myself and making myself happy – but where do I start?
