I'm not really sure where to begin, but gratitude seems like a great start. So, thank you to everyone here who has posted their personal experiences. You are a priceless resource for managing my confusion, answering questions and just being supportive, overall.
My girl, who lives far..far away has been isolating for..oh.. about a month. We've been dating a few months and this is my first experience with isolation. Communication has mostly been one way, with me sending texts and leaving a voicemail once per day, just reinforce she is loved. Every two or three days, she would send me a text or answer my call. The texts would be brief, as were the phone calls.. and that is ok. Last week, we spoke for about an hour, mostly day to day content. She did mention that she is trying to make sense of things as she is coming out of it. She asked what was on my mind at one point, I suppose due to my silence. On a lighter level, I think it was dog food, on the heavier side, a month's worth of emotion wanted to pour out. Whatever was actually on the lighter side is what I blurted out. I think the other would have been a poor choice.
Since then, all communication has dropped completely with the exception of Sunday, when she answered my call what seems to be by accident because the call was disconnected without her saying anything and I then received a text that she couldn't chat and would call me later. The call never came. I sent her a brief email stating I have been keeping a majority of my emotions to myself because I understand these can be overwhelming to someone who is isolating themselves. I also mentioned I love her and that I hope I am doing the right things in order to be supportive.
In communicating with her, I have tried to keep things very simple, brief and loving without too much "depth" as to not bombard her with anything. I'm not sure what I should do now, however. She is a very loving, thoughtful and caring woman. I do not understand why suddenly contact stopped. Should I try to share more of my emotions with her or just let things be? Perhaps I shared too much? Any ideas or thoughts would be tremendously appreciated!! :)
