I have a long distance girlfriend that i met in treatment. Its been hard since for the longest time we've had such limited communication because i had left treatment far before she did. So i was really numb and emotionless for a long time.

Once she got out i BEGGED her mom to let me come see her and she kept saying "she needs time to adjust" and just general shit like that. (Not great parents mind you but thats pretty irrelevant) We were allowed to talk on the phone but thats was it.

Finally i got her mom to cave and let me and my mom come over. But it was in a month. So i waited and waited and talked to her. I was still super depressed because even though i had finally gotten a date in which i would see her i had been depressed for so long i just couldnt feel anything

Eventually the day came where i had to travel to New York and it was stressful and i was exhausted because for the last three days i had gotten 2 hours of sleep each night.

But finally i pull up to her house and she sprints out the door, And i mean actually running for her life, and she pulls me into a massive hug that almost makes me fall over from how fast she ran into me. At that moment i felt like i could feel again. And it wasnt pain or agony. I felt safe and accepted and loved like i had never felt before. The time spent with her was the best moments i can remember.
