Let’s get into actionable steps you can take to make her week feel better because she will truly appreciate it.
Call her
A simple phone call can make all the difference to her day. Give her a phone call or video call, and let her know how much you appreciate her.
A good way to distract her is to talk about positive memories that you have had together. Keeping the conversation positive will help her keep her mind off things.
Keep track of her period
Keeping track of your girlfriend’s period will be a nice gesture. It’ll also give you a heads-up when she will be on her period next. There are plenty of free period apps you can use.
By knowing her period, you could send her gifts or a letter in advance to reach her in time. It’ll also give you a heads-up on her next monthly period.
Send her a comforting gift
Now that you have a period app to track her period, you can send a small gift in advance. One of the most popular long-distance gift ideas is Open When Letters. Simply write up a bunch of letters for her to open for when she feels sad, happy, anxious, joyful, grateful, and more. It is a unique and personable idea than your normal gift, and it is low cost!
Another great idea is to recruit a friend or relative of hers to buy chocolate or flowers and give it to her. She will surely appreciate the present coming from someone she knows and not a stranger. Simple little touches like this make all the difference.
Text her sweet messages
Randomly send her sweet text messages that will brighten her day. If you are stuck as to what to text her check out these creative LDR texting ideas.

If she is up for it, try out these fun card games with her to keep her distracted.
Watch Netflix together

Deliver her favorite food

Be the positivity she needs
She may seem distant and moody right now, but the little sweet actions you do and just being there for her are more than enough. No matter how hard it may get (this applies to the entirety of the long-distance relationship), it is important to always emit positive vibes and try to keep the mood uplifted.
