My mood is going down and down and down today. I woke up this morning and expected relaxation, but my mom has been criticizing everyone within the sound of her voice. And my dad is home, which makes the yelling worse. And my brother just got done calling me a little bitch. I called a friend and woke her up. My mood is going down and down and down. And I miss my T so so so so bad. Just one little comforting thing from him would make a world of difference.

when do you get to leave home and see your T again?
Man, going home for me is rough too.

I leave home on January 7, then I'm staying with a friend for a little, and I see my T again on the 17th. So still a long ways away.

Okay, so there is an end in sight. About eight or nine days until you are out of the house. That's about the length of a typical course of the flu. ;)
Do you have a car there or one you can use, just going out to the store for something can help.
You can make it. Just take it day by day, minute by minute there is an end to this.
If at all possible can you call your T? Maybe just to get the voice mail? Sometimes it helps me to just hear mine's voice.

Leaving home and staying with a friend could provide a nice diversion. How about breaking your countdown into two parts?

everyday to seeing your T.....
What a SAPPY thing to say eh?
It sucks ((((((((((((((((SD)))))))))))))))))))) no doubt about it.
When the feelings of wanting are really strong and hard, try and remember they DO subside and get easier to tolerate for a time. Until the next batch. You just got to ride those waves out.
I highly recommend the maximum amount of distraction to help pass the time. And pamper yourself as much as possible while T is gone, or you are gone.
Take care,
Muffled

Hey sunnydays,
Perk up! You're another day closer. I like what Maddie wrote about your time left being like the time it takes for the flu to run its course.
I went home earlier this month and it was about as much fun as having the flu. :(
Hang in there! I know its not alot of fun, but at least its not forever either. Getting away to shop or see friends are great ideas!
Be Well!
Regards,
happykat :)

Yeah, the only problem is that when I'm away I never want to go back. It took me twenty minutes of driving around every side street I could find near my house to work myself up to actually stepping in the front door. I'm another day closer, but it still feels so so far away.
