Is there a way that your gf can move to your area or nearby, even if she lives in her own place you could see each other more often? Or is there anyway you can move closer to her? At some point for this relationship to work, someone is going to need to relocate.
Do you have anything that will destract you for a few hours like watching a movie, reading, art, cleaning, taking a drive, or watching tv? A good massage each week could help with your tension and anxiety. Would it help you to write down how you feel, such as a journal?
I would not talk to your family and friends about this because it doesn't seem like they want to hear about it, and would only cause you more anxiety.
I am certainly not saying you are crazy or anything close to that, but talking to a counselor once a week could be of help.
