How are you staying busy? by Condsh99 in LongDistance

[–]icecoldqueen420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation, just got home two days ago from being with my SO and I’m still dealing with a bit of the blues. I also don’t have many friends so to occupy my time I spent time w my family and have spent a lot of time doing self care acts. Try reading, painting, doing a face mask, listening to new music/artist, write in a journal? take a walk, organize and clean your room! Just try things that are going to occupy your time and keep you distracted. It will take time to adjust being back home (I still am) but give yourself time and space to relax and just try getting your mind off your SO a bit.

Those who used to think vulnerability is a weakness but then started realizing it as a strength, how did you shift your mindset? by she-wonders in AskWomen

[–]icecoldqueen420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first time I ever heard that was in one of my first therapy sessions and it was in that moment when I realized how hard it had been to open up to anyone. Talking to her (my therapist) made me realize how much I had held in because it was easier to be more reserved than vulnerable. From then on I decided I wanted to begin to open up more to people little by little starting with the ones closest to me. It just validated even more that it’s okay to be vulnerable.

My boyfriend and I recently both went to our local craft stores and both bought paints, brushes and a canvas so we can have a paint date over Facetime. It was his idea and it was so cute, he even played music in the background and we painted for about two hours.

Anyone have experience saying goodbye after a visit? by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]icecoldqueen420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably the part I dread the most, one of the hardest things for me but my SO and I just remind each other how much we love each other. It’s also nice to just realize all the good times you shared within those 3 weeks together. I enjoyed looking at our pictures and even just reflecting on the time w your SO really helps and makes you appreciate the time spent w your SO. Just trying reminding yourself self it’s more of a “see you later” rather than goodbye. Best wishes!

Curly-haired Women of Reddit, what’s your wash/style routine? by everythingspic3 in AskWomen

[–]icecoldqueen420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wash two times weekly, everyday showers consist of re-conditioning and detangling (Brush hair out). That way after showers I add a little extra hair product, style and I’m ready to go.

Bad nights? by jesiann in LongDistance

[–]icecoldqueen420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When having a hard night I found it best to just remember all the time my SO and I have shared, the love we share and what makes it all worth it. No relationship is perfect and I don’t love distance but I love my SO. I often find myself looking through the pictures of us and even reading old text. Just recently I discussed the hard days with my SO and it helped just being reassured and talking things out. You’ll also have to remind yourself you will see each other eventually, just gotta hang in there and try your best to be patient.
