Feeling lost
Does anyone ever feel like they are emotionally drained being with someone who is incarcerated?
I’ve been with my partner for so long, and I’ve been holding it down for a bit over 4 years. I love my partner to death however I’ve recently been feeling so tired. What I want, I can’t get from him right now (like going on dates, getting affection IRL, being with him whenever I want, etc).
Whenever I see people online with their partners spending time together, I get so sad because I can’t have that right now. I feel like my energy has been off and I just feel drained. I don’t feel as happy anymore with positive energy all the time and I don’t know what to do.
I assume a lot of others feel this way also, but how can I get over this feeling? Or how can I at least work on it and mange to work through it?
