I think I'm going to sit here by myself and drink myself stupid. Why not? I mean I'm alone and I'm stupid so I wouldn't even have to drink myself stupid cause I already am. But I could drink none the less.
I'm not going to make it through the rest of this deployment. I'm too lonely, and too scared.
He needs to come home. I can't be this girl though who calls the Red Cross and says bring my husband home I'm depressed and can't go on. All I'm asking for is for people who I thought were my friends to actually give a shit and not text me about how many times they've gotten laid that week or not. I'd like a phone cal from some of them actually checking on me or saying "hey I'm here do you need to talk??"



I know I know this is like the 5th post I've made in a week about not making it, and I'm stupid and whiny.
Go ahead all of you who want to make negative comments.

Im not going to say anything negative.

My only advice is stop watching/reading the news & try to find something that takes your focus off him being away. For me it's being online or watching tv. it numbs my brain. I dont know really anything happening in the world for the last 14 months because I stay away from 98% of news.

Drinking isn't going to help anything. trust me, I've been there.
Pop in a movie, pop some popcorn and have a good cry. It WILL be okay

Do you work? Do you have an opp to do volunteer work? Do you have any hobbies? Can you take some classes?

My only comment is: what GOOD is it doing you focusing on him not being here? We only engage in behavior that brings us some reward, so what's this moping doing for you? Be honest and ask yourself...

I think Rain has some pretty good advice there. I'm sorry your friends aren;'t being very supportive. I've had to distance myself from one friend who has been particularly unsupportive. But you do have us. And we really do understand. :hugs

We are here for you. PM me if you need a shoulder to cry on.

Have a good drink, than get over it (the drinking to forget/deal with it, thing)
When your friends are texting you, they are treating you just like they have always done (I presume).
They probably don't know how to say or do "the right thing" for you.
Plenty of people here complain when their friends say and do stupid stuff trying to show they know how you feel.
Tell them what you need, to invite you out, or just drop over.
Also, do what they said above...keep yourself busy and productive, it will make the time go by quicker.

Have a drink or two for me too. However don't pity yourself, life goes on whether DH is home or not. You to can go out and do things to make yourself feel better and take your mind off of him being gone...We all go through rough spots during the deployments but you have to be strong, surround yourself with people that in the same boat as you its always easier that way.

I wish I could but they are all in CT and im in VA. She's not really treating it as though I'm there so much as I have nothing better to do so I'm going to search my contacts for somebody to text and I just happen to be the lucky one once every 3 weeks or so and its nothing supportive, just about how she had sex with some new guy or to be mad about my ex best friend who shes still friends with. I really dont care anymore I went through my name calling phase now I'm done and could care less what happens to her the whole point of EX best friend. Then one girl sees my parents out and says shes worried about me and what not but yet I havent heard from her in 2 months. Nothing not a call or text.
I just wish you know I had somebody.
