I'm feeling very depressed and lonely. I only get to speak to him once a week, that is by skype and it is brill that I can see him. I am starting to feel very paranoid that he won't want to come back and I'm extremely lonely.Any advice would be great.Thanks x

I have empathy with you and can understand that you are missing him; but this might be a good opportunity for both of you to realize how you really feel about each other; how much you truly mean to each other; a good test for the strength of the bond between you.
I suggest you try and FOCUS on positive things; keep yourself busy with things you don't normally get time to do; pack your cupboards; re arrange your furniture; keep a diary; write down how you feel; what you think; why you are missing him etc; (when he gets back maybe you will want to give it to him to read).Vow, that will give him insight on how you missed him and about your feelings.
Maybe start doing Christmas shopping, or even better start making Christmas presents; it will save you lots of money and keep you busy, also personalized gifts are always very special; maybe do a photo album; try to do CREATIVE things;
Don't make your self miserable with all the "what if's"; remember nothing in life is ever without a risk; Concentrate on positive things;and if the loneliness is getting to much, remember we are here.
Best wishes and try to keep SMILING.
