I am in what my therapist calls, a healthy relationship. Sometimes I feel like I am bringing old patterns into this relationship but I am really struggling not to and my partner has been very comprehensive. We are together for a year now. It is the first time we will be separated for this long and I feel so anxious about it I would like to end it all in order to avoid going through hell while I am alone. 

Has anyone dealt with distance in a relationship? It seems almost impossible for me right now, but I know if I give in and break it off I will hurt my partner's feelings and will regret it in the end because I love him so much.

I feel absolutely ridiculous because there are people who do this (long-distance relationship) as a norm, but I feel like I won't be able to take it and I am very scared, feel like I went backward in the progress I made with my therapist.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.
