Step Back

It has been so incredibly challenging to get a US visa date. Everything about the past two weeks has been so testing.

The guy you're in a lowkey talking phase with, is busy with his work and he mostly texts dry, and I know you want to stop filling in the blanks all the time now. It's okay. He has a month of his madness left and you don't deserve to be pulled into that, especially when he can't see the issue himself. 

Regardless, relax. You didn't even know him two months ago. You haven't even physically met him for more than 5 days in total. And it's not that serious. You can text in three days giving some update about how the week is going. It's totally cool, it doesn't have to be so bend or break all the time.

Especially with you dealing with so much on your own. It is time to really analyze how maladaptive your responses to stress have been lately, and genuinely do something about it. 

Check your visa slots now and then, but let it go. Let him go too. Focus on your research work. Focus on your Step 3. Focus on your mental and physical well-being.
