Emotionally Exhausted

I'll say first off that this doesn't happen very often, but since I entered my long distance relationship I have occasionally had days like today where I feel completely worn out emotionally. It doesn't correlate to how long I've gone without talking to him though because I literally video chatted with him yesterday.

I'd describe this feeling as just a messed up combination of emotions. I'm a little bit sad, upset, mopey, tense, nervous, happy, excited and tired all at the same time. On a scale of good to bad, this feeling is more towards bad but it does have positive emotions in it as well.

I think I feel emotionally exhausted today because I was so happy yesterday that I wore myself out.

Being in a long distance relationship is demanding on your emotions. Most of the time I can go about my day normally sort of forgetting the situation I'm in. There is always a part of me that misses him and wishes he was here but usually my logical side wins and I have a normal day. On the rare days where I can't handle my feelings, I'm an emotional wreck like I am today. Sometimes I'm resentful that he lives so far away, other times I'm sad that I can't spend time with him like other couples do, and other times I'm upset because it's still so long until I get to see him again.

In the end, I'm in this situation because I want to be. Like I said most of the time I'm completely fine. It's just those rare days where the missing him takes over and completely screws around with my emotions to the point that I just want to sleep all day. I know when I'm going to see him again and I know when our long distance will end so it's not as bad for me as it is for other people. I enjoy having time to myself and I know waiting for him will be worth it. Today I'm just a bit exhausted.
