Well, first of all, welcome to Military SOS. Judging from your question I need to make an assumption that you're a new military girlfriend out of North Carolina, and your other half has recently left to bootcamp?

You'll stop feeling alone as soon as you're reunited with him. In the mean time, hang out here on SOS, find a hobby, study (are you in school?), and go buy World of Warcraft...it's a great timekiller :giggle

Glad you're here :)

like the others say, find something to do, you will be alone until he returns.

I know it is hard, but the more I think about it, and the more I talk about it, the worse I feel sometimes. For me, I work. It helps to get out of the house, and do something, where my DH can't be anyways.. and since he can't be there...then I am less likely to get sad, and then all I have to worry about is hometime...which is hard, but I just try not to think about it. Find someone to talk to.

Hope it gets better

Hey there! Welcome. I'm new too. Pretty new to this as well.

What helps for me actually is writing him every day. I first write it down in a journal (letters to him, not like keeping a real journal). It's nice. Cause I've never had a journal before and I like being able to look back and see how I felt one day. And then I rewrite them and send them. I have written one every day since my db left. At first I didn't have his address so I would decorate envelopes for each letter (I had about 11 or so before I finally got his address) and then I stuck them in a big envelope and sent them along with a picture of me. It's fun and I feel like I'm talking to him. That's just what I do. Mostly I've been fine. Some days I get really down. I just think of it as not being able to not see him but looking forward to the day that I will. I also don't think about each individual day. That would make it harder. I just take one day at a time.

Hope you get better.

Hi Christina,

Welcome to the group.:hugs I'm pretty new here myself, but I really enjoy this forum, and I'm sure you will, too. Like Peekaboo2487, I find it helps me to write daily to Scott. Somedays I'm not feeling very up :tears , so those days I write in a journal, so I don't get him down, too. I know that he's missing home enough without hearing me :tears in a letter. It really helps me to feel like we're actually talking when I write letters.

Like everyone else says...Keep Busy!!! I definitely have much better days when I'm out and about, but no matter what.. I'm always thinking of him, just not in a sad way. I look forward to when he'll be home on leave and think of what I can plan for us and the kids, etc., so that helps me to stay in a more positive mood. There will still be times when you feel like :hairout:lol

Hang in there and come visit with us often....it makes you feel so much better to know you are not alone during these tough times.:goodvibes

Haha WoW. My db played that. He tried to get me into it. It didn't stick. I was afraid of getting into it and not doing homework and stuff. I have enough trouble as it is without something like that to distract me. =)

Take college classes for your own career and use this time for you! You can always write letters and miss him but don't just wait around by the phone. If you are planning a life - better it for the both of you... this is the time to do it! :cp

It will get easier - Hang in there and we will be here for your questions, to vent, and to talk too. :hugs
