New Long Distance Relationship

Hello, I recently had to move away from boyfriend of three years because neither of us could afford to move out on our own. Were both in college and neither of us have graduated yet and we both still live with out families. We have been distant for almost a year, but I still find it extremely hard. I just got back from a two week long visit with him and I feel so depressed, I don't enjoy my job like I used to, I am extremely emotional and I haven't been sleeping well. Since returning from my visit it has been hard to stay in touch with him because we both work and have school, this just makes things worse for me. I feel alone in this struggle, and hope to find any advice or tips to ease the emotional pain I am going through, no one else in my life seems to quite understand.

Will you both be off of school for the summer? That seems like it would be a great time to spend long stretches of time together in person.

In the meanwhile, Facetime, Skype, texting, phone calls.... lots of ways to keep in touch.

    The Friday before Labor Day just before we left, the options given to me basically were either quit of be fired, and if I were to stay on I were to be put on an improvement plan, which is pretty much synonymous with getting fired. I was going to do the improvement plan and just ride it out until I found another job due to money and due to the fact that I did not want to quit without another job....
