Well, my so and I spent a semester apart last fall and now we've switched places and are spending yet another semester apart. It's definitely not something I'm happy about but you just have to focus on other things. For instance, I find that going out with my friends always helps a lot and I also focus on my schoolwork that much more and both things help to keep my mind off my boyfriend. Our problem is that we both have jobs and classes so even though we're about two hours apart it's hard to justify the gas money unless we have at least a day free.
As far as feeling numb goes, I can't say that I've felt that. I've felt pretty much everything else and I do go into slight depressions again when he leaves or I leave but no numbness for me.
The best advice I can offer is to find other things to do. If you sit around focusing on how much you miss him it's going to seem like you're apart for an eternity. There's nothing wrong with looking forward to seeing JStrider but if that's all you do it makes it hard to get anything else done.
