Do I freak out now or later?? - Deployment Preparation

SgtLinnell'sGirl · 09-09-2009, 01:18 PM

So I have to drop off my DB in El Campo, TX tomorrow and he boards the bus at 0800 for Fort Bliss. He'll be at Fort Bliss until December. I'm starting to freak out...so do I freak out now? Or in December when he actually deploys to Iraq? Is it ok to feel like I'm completely lost without him? This is my first deployment....I think I've been crying since last week when I knew he had ONE week left before he had to leave. I don't even want to fall asleep tonight....because I know once I close my eyes... morning will be around the corner and it will be time to drive to El Campo. I feel like screaming, kicking, crying....anything to let go of this "lump" in my throat so I can breath again. But how can I breath when the one who breaths life into me is leaving????

...didn't you literally JUST post this? You can't double post threads.

Sorry trying to learn my way around here.....didnt mean to step on any toes by "double posting".

well, its really not necessary to freak out. deployments are a fact of life(in the military life) and as scary as they can seem, theyre not as bad as you think, at least IMO. Goodbyes are never fun, and its ok to be sad...but don't "freak." You are not completely dependent upon him...you can do this. Learn to enjoy being "single."

Thank you...

DB leaves tomorrow for his boat and officially is leaving sometime Friday. Whether I get to talk to him from here until the end.. Idk. He and I do long distance already, it's just the whole not talking to him thing that eats at me. I'll cry for a minute and then suck it up and concentrate on whatever is on television. Then a little later I'll cry again... I just hope I can atleast keep this periodic stuff up instead of a constant tearfest. I know tomorrow when I go to call him or when Im waiting for him to call me... the tearfest will start. I am just going to suck it and refuse to be super sad

and eat all the chocolate fudge brownie icecream i want
