The 'Going the Distance' actress admits she struggles to maintain a romance with someone she hardly ever sees, and feels like she is in a 'weird purgatory'.

Drew Barrymore has "freak-outs" about being in a long-distance relationship. The actress, who refuses to confirm reports she has reunited with on/off boyfriend Justin Long, admits she struggles to maintain a romance with someone she hardly ever sees, and feels like she is in a "weird purgatory".

"I've just sort of freaked out on someone," she explained about she finds long-distance relationships. "Just been like, 'I never see you, we're not talking enough.' The worst part of being single is actually being along, but I don't have the benefit of having any help because I'm in a relationship with a person I never see so I think sometimes I just feel like I'm in a weird purgatory. And I have definitely had my freak-outs about that."

Because of these moments of insecurity, Drew has made her own "time-out cards" to help her cope with the highs and lows of love, and to help her refrain from lashing out at Justin. She explained to Stylist magazine, "I've learned to go and take five minutes."

"Just go and take a breath and maybe use little time-out cards. I actually made some of my own, like, 'I love you', 'I need a minute', 'Five minutes'. You might have learned something different after you have gone into the other room and breathed deeply for a moment."
