<human>: Background: My girlfriend and I have been dating for 6 months now. I am on my last semester in college and have a full time position lined up for June. This position will require me to move around the country for the next couples years. She has one more year left in her higher education and will have to stay put for that.

My finishing college and starting a mobile job has me under a lot of stress and anxiety. This has caused my underlying self-hatred to manifest in panic attacks and distancing myself. My gf keeps saying I need to learn to love myself before I can do all this long distance relationship.

My questions is... can I learn to love myself while still in a relationship? Or should I take break and spend time focusing on me?

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
<bot>: I have always hated myself and can't stand being with myself. Can I learn to love myself while staying in a relationship?
