First deployment.
Here we go. Today was doomsday! My boyfriend was deployed for 7 months. I haven't seen him in 23 days as bad as that is, now I can't speak to him on the phone for 7 months. I just want to kiss him. I am so freaking drained. I haven't slept in two days. Someone tell me this is how the first week is and it gets better after this. I don't know how to do this. He did make it easier by telling me he loved me today for the first time. I keep thinking of that and it helps a little bit. But I have been laying on this freaking couch for 8 hours. I don't know how to get up and move on. I really truly have an ache in my heart, my body is physically missing him, I have nothing inside of me that is pushing me up. Will this pass? I know time will go quicker when classes start back in September and when I go back to work Friday. It's just now, now is my lowest point so far. I would do anything to just have him where I know he is safe. Where I know nothing can hurt him. I'm terrified. I walked into a bathroom stall the other day and there was this stupid thing written on the back that said, "I'm scared he's not going to return from the sea" and I've been having all these stupid dreams about it and it's been just haunting me. I need some sleep, I can't sleep. I feel like the biggest baby ever. I'm never like this! I am a bad ass! Guess this is love...I just need some support hardcore.

He is on a small ship and they are in the middle of the ocean. He might be able to make a couple of calls while he is gone, I'm not sure. He gets the internet but it's limited to emails only.

I always allow myself to have a really crappy day or two where I'm just sad and bum around. Then I know it's time to get on with life. The busier you stay, the faster it goes!
