My  girlfriend  and  I  met  over  the  Internet  six  months  ago  and  have  seen  each  other  before.  Two  weeks  ago  she  came  to  visit  me  again.  She  left  today  to  go  back  to  school,  and  now  my  room  and  house  seem  so  empty  without  her  here.  I  don't  know  what  to  do.  If  you  could  please  give  me  some  ideas  of  how  to  help  me  through  this  I'd  greatly  appreciate  it.
--Missing  Her  Like  Crazy
Dear  Missing  Her  Like  Crazy,
To  me,  the  hardest  part  about  a  long  distance  relationship  is  when  your  partner  first  leaves  after  a  visit.  It's  like  getting  a  taste  of  the  good  life  and  then  having  it  snatched  away.  It's  more  difficult  for  the  person  being  left  behind.  Every  room  seems  to  be  haunted  with  memories  of  your  past  time  together.  Fortunately,  there  are  a  few  ways  to  help  get  over  this  first  bout  of  loneliness.  

First,  I'd  immerse  myself  into  a  short-term  hobby  or  project,  even  if  it's  just  an  exercise  program  or  deep-cleaning  your  home.

Then,  I'd  find  some  pictures  of  her  and  you  together  and  put  them  around  the  house  to  make  you  feel  a  little  closer.  

If  it's  possible,  I'd  also  spend  just  a  little  more  phone  or  web  cam  time  with  her  for  the  next  week  or  so.  

To  handle  your  random  thoughts,  I'd  start  a  journal  to  collect  them  in.  That  way  when  you  are  done  you  can  choose  to  give  it  to  her  or  just  keep  it  for  your  personal  perusal.  

After  that,  I'd  get  started  on  making  plans  to  see  each  other  next.  Even  if  it's  quite  a  few  months  down  the  road,  just  knowing  there  is  a  next  time  seems  to  lift  the  spirits.  You  can  start  planning  what  to  do  or  where  to  go  now.  Or,  make  a  little  countdown  calendar.

For  something  to  look  forward  to,  find  ways  to  get  out  of  the  house  a  little  more  for  the  time  being.  Go  to  a  party  with  friends.  Or  go  watch  a  movie.  Whatever  your  interests  are,  just  spend  some  time  doing  something  other  than  being  in  the  house  missing  her.  

You'll  be  surprised  how  quickly  you'll  get  back  to  the  normal  routine.  Before  you  know  it  your  next  visit  will  be  just  around  the  corner.
With  Love,
