Hey Jessica-Rose, and welcome to TeenHelp. ")
First of all I just wanted to say that I'm sorry that you're struggling with not being able to see your boyfriend, I'm currently in a long distance relationship and I had a lot of trouble in the beginning with not seeing him. Now I'd just like to offer a little bit of advice, you really should be careful not to let your whole life revolve around your significant other. It's okay to love them and spend time with them, just try and have things to do outside of the relationship.
On that note I can see you're trying to make the change, and I'd love to try and help. At first it is going to be hard to not see each other, and you have the right idea with distracting yourself. Make plans with friends, do something with your family. I would try and work on slowly cutting down on the time you see each other, so maybe once a week you can see each other, or try and go a whole week with out seeing each other. You can text the whole time, and you can talk every night, but just try to limit hang out time. You need to try to find some interests outside of each other.
Hope everything gets easier.
