I'm used to seeing my boyfriend multiple times a week, and him staying the night frequently. Now, with social distancing and the corona virus and all that bullshit, I've decided it's best to avoid contact for a while. I'm an essential worker as is my roommate, and he lives with high risk people, so it isn't safe right now.


But I think I'm going to go crazy. I'm already insanely stressed out and my job is making things worse, I'm scared for the future and my finances, and I miss my boyfriend.


We talk on the phone every day, but I need a hug and I want to sleep next to him. Not being able to see him makes everything so much harder.
