Is it normal that i feel depressed about my boyfriend leaving?

He's going to go live his dreams in college. Play football for his dream college and be what he wants to be. I'm so happy for him to be able to do this. Don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous or mad in any way that he can do this.
But for the past few days I've been really sad and down. I think it's because he's leaving in a few months. He said he wants to make us work long distance because he loves me, and he's going to come see me whenever it's possible. It's almost two and a half hours away from where we live now. I just feel so sad ):I could literally just cry right now. Is it normal?

    It's normal, don't think about the sad part that he'll be leaving soon, just make the most of Now and know that you're lucky to have a guy that truly loves you and wants to continue the relationship long distance before he returns to you :)

    It is definitely normal, depression is a common occurrence in situations like this. It takes time, but your heart will heal.
