So my girlfriend has gone away on a vacation with the family for a week and a half, having a partner go away without me is a new experience that i have not faced yet. I have completed the DBT therapy and for the most part my life has become manageable. 

So far i have managed okay and she has been extremely supportive of me missing her to the extreme. My problem is however i have been left feeling extremely vulnerable and raw this week and i would like to get back some of my power in this situation so that i can stop feeling so insane.

I am thinking as of tomorrow i will just send a simple message saying "good morning, i hope you enjoy your day and i will speak to you tonight after work/classes" and leaving it there. So far there has been a constant stream of messaging back and forth all day which sounds nice in theory but as i said leaves me feeling very vulnerable and raw to my stupid head, i have found myself very stuck in my emotional mind and am battling letting it out into the open which is so very tiring, i need to get back to my wise mind! 

I guess i am asking for some advice in how to miss her like a normal person and go about my days and what skills based approach would you all take in this situation in order to stay level headed, wise and calm without losing it or becoming a blubbering mess.

Thank you very much in advanced
