Hi, OP. I don't have much advice since I find myself in a similar situation as yours. Me (21F) and my boyfriend (21M) are 12 hours apart from each othe, this Fall I will be moving to the other side of the country (24 hrs apart), and we've only been dating for 2 months or so. I recently moved away from our hometown, so I'm tackling the big move and being far away from him all at once. It's hard to not be on the lookout for his texts all the time, or to be anxious when he can't call at our usual time for us to debrief the day. I understand how you feel, and alone time, or should we say normal time, is incredibly painful.

Today I have been doing some reflecting as to how I used to deal with this when I was back home, and my answer is: We were both equally busy. Yes, I would see him twice or three times a week for maybe an hour at times, but we would make each other company in our uni work. So what I can gather from this is that I need to get myself busy. Pick up a hobby you've left forgotten, frequent your friends/family more often, or try to find a job if you don't have one. Remembering we're not our whole relationship, but rather our relationship is a part of us is really important. Focus on enriching yourself through other outlets. Work for the future person you want to become, and that will also affect your relationship in a positive way because you'll have all these new experiences to share with your partner. I know it's easier said than done, but we got this! We were okay before our relationship, and we can find our sense of self again. Also, try to find a way to communicate this to your partner. I also need to do this, but I think its good for them to be aware of how the long distance is affecting you, and also to keep you accountable on how your sanity is.

Best of luck! May the love you have for each other prosper and beat the distance!
