Hello Dan24X, welcome to Psych Central.

Love is a wonderful thing isn't it! I would think that the distance thing creates some anxiety and sadness naturally and your situation at home does not help. You are 22 now so you are an adult and it is your life. It must be hard having that reaction from your parents but their approval is not absolutely necessary. It sounds like you love this lady, are you really going to let your parents dictate your life for you?

The solution to me seems to be for you to move out of your parents home, this is a natural step anyway and I think it would give you that independence to do what you want for you to be happy in the long run. Moving out can be stressful as is any change but ultimately it will be better for your mental health and your relationships all round.

If you feel that the anxiety and depression is too much, please go and see your doctor, they may suggest medication and therapy. Here is a link to some online tests you can do to see what is going on with you >>> The Sanity Score - Test Your Mental Wellness and Psychological Tests and Quizzes

Best of luck!
