How do you deal with missing someone?

It's not all that difficult to keep in touch, you can Skype, use a messenging program, telephone calls, hell you can even write a good old fashioned letter (actually it's really nice to receive a letter as it's fairly unusual now for personal correspondence).

One thing I suggest you do is plan a couple of dates during the year when you're going to come back and visit her or she can come across to see you, that way you've got something to look forward to and it will split up the time away. However maybe wait until you've had a bit of a chance to look about and find out what is going on in France first, it wouldn't be good to book yourself up on the same day as the circus is coming to town/strippers descend on Bordeaux/field trip to CERN/whatever appeals to you - all I'm saying is give yourself a chance to see what is going on rather than immediately setting up something before you know what else you could be missing.

Good luck with the trip and the studies though.

I'm moving out of the country on Sunday, and the thought of not being able to see one of my friends anymore is making me feel short of breath and tremendously ill. Err, what can I do?

Thanks

keep them in a suitcase and feed them dry breakfast muffins.
 
In this modern day and age you can't exchange Skype/Google Talk details? Both are free and support video chat etc!

If friends and family in Bangladesh can video chat with us to stay in touch then you can sure as hell do the same!

So what is it then? Because if you don't tell us we'll just assume it is infact, clearly, the above scenario :p

Sounds like it tbh.

Anyway, I'm reasonably sure France has bridges nowadays, and throwing yourself off one, while not necessarily fatal, may well provide the required dose of man-up to leave emotion behind.

Planning dates to meet up sounds good as well.
 
I've been in a long(ish) distance relationship for the last 6 years and I really do think you will find it gets easier to cope with as time goes on. I miss him so much through the week but I find a few things help me get through it.

As has been said try and arrange at least one visit home during the year you are away; it's something to look forward to! Keep yourself busy. I tend to spend the days I am not with him with friends. You find yourself focusing more on that than feeling sad.

You have a new country to explore! Remind yourself why you decided to go to France and please make the most of your time there! You are ONLY there for a year! Although that seems a long time right now, it really isn't in the grand scheme of things.

When I went to uni a few years ago, 2 of my closest friends moved away while I stayed locally. It was difficult, especially as they didn't come back very often and when they did they mainly visited family.

After 3 years of this, I am still close with 1 of them. The other has drifted away a little which is very sad but mainly down to lack of effort on her part. Even with her though, we were still just as close after the first year! & somehow I think you and your friend will both make sure you keep in contact through the year.

I would also consider arranging a trip/big day out for when you are back next summer. It is another great way to help yourself look forward to things rather than focusing on missing her.

If all else fails, you'll be forced to stop missing her anyway once your assignments and exams kick in!
 
i agree, just make a crude paper mache of her face, cut some of her hair while she sleeps to stick on, and im sure you can warp your mind enough to pretend your creation is real... might end up with you killing the real one, so you can both be together forever when you chop up and consume her :O

i am going to contact the authorities... you make me sick!
