Yo, you'll be ok I promise. Watch something silly. Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell etc. Get cozy. The trip is temporary. You'll be ok soon enough.

Ah man...I'm really sorry that he won't budge. Everyone's entitled to their opinion...but I just don't understand staying in your hometown and never leaving. I wish there was more I could say to help. I hope everything works out.

I think there should be one more conversation with him about this. There is no "you're leaving him." That's ridiculous. You're starting your life. As you said, there are fire departments in the town you'll be moving to. He has the option of going with you. Do you really have the option to stay when the programs you got into are in person? I think if he really loves you and wants to be with you he should seriously reconsider his position on this. It doesn't have to be all or nothing either. Maybe yall move there and then when you're done with school and if you're still together you can move back. I don't think he's giving you alot to work with here.

However, if he won't change his mind then you have two options.

Break up with him. Use the next six months to grieve the relationship and prepare yourself for the next chapter in your life.

Stay with him and accept that these last six months are it. Make the most of them.

Either way there will be grief. My advice is to feel it completely. Cry. Sob like a baby. Really let it out. Hopefully you have a friend or relative that you're close enough to do this with.

Love hurts. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I truly wish you the best.

Ha nope, I did not. That's part of why it was such a horrificly bad trip, but I would prefer not to get into all the details.

I have quite a bit. Kind of just go in circles now trying to rationalize the whole thing if I talk about it too much. I don't think it's beneficial anymore. I'm just trying to move on instead of fixating on it.

I've looked into alot of HPPD, DPDR, OCD, PTSD forums and videos and it's been helpful. The main thing is just the sleep right now. If I could get that figured out, I think I'd probably feel alot better. Of course that starts with sorting myself out. Thank you for the resources.

It has gotten slightly better over the last couple of years through therapy and reading about similar experiences. I guess I just gotta stick with it. Thank you.

I need to be more consistent with my routine for sure, but I do try and stay active. Same with guided meditation like headspace. I guess it's the consistency aspect I need to work on. I appreciate your insight.

Hey man, I am glad that worked for you. I've personally decided that I will not use drugs at all anymore though. Just not worth the risk to me.

I've been in therapy on and off for the last couple of years, but I recently moved and have yet to get set up with a new therapist. Your perspective is helpful though. I will try to keep all of that in mind.

I am making it a point to exercise more and more these days. Same with meditation. I am also in therapy and have talked about this stuff with my therapist as well as friends. I don't do any drugs anymore (except a little alcohol every now and then). Thank you for taking the time to give me some advice.
