Not even 3 months yet!

[sorraia]

I'm frustrated and cranky about this deployment. Time can't go slow enough when he's here, it just zips right by. The moment he leaves time slows WAAAAYYYYYY down. The hours of the day are just CRAWLING. The days of the month aren't even going that fast. I feel like my whole world is going in slow motion. It's ONLY been 1.5 months since he left... and I have to wait an entire YEAR before he gets back. I'm trying to keep busy. I got to work five days a week, I go out to see my horse, I work on my quilting and cross stitch, but nothing helps. Keeping busy does NOT help... I finish my projects in a day and then I have nothing to do because the days are going by so damn slow.

How am I going to survive this? I'm going to go nuts!

edited because time is going even slower than I thought... I THOUGHT I was approaching 3 months, then I looked at my ticker and the calender, it hasn't even been TWO months!!! I'm literally on the verge of losing my mind... this is ridiculous.

Hi my name is Danielle and my bf left for Afghanistan the end of Sept. Im counting from the date on his orders. He left Aug 17th for training so im almost three months down but not!

My bf is a great man and hopefully one day we will procreate together...hehe. Need something to get me outta this foul mood I am in! Hope this helps you too.

I stay busy too with school and work, but the past two months have been very trying. I lost my dad a month into his training so the aftermath of that and his deployment is a lot to swallow at times.

I am strong most of the time but other times today I just lost it and spend 30 min on the phone crying and venting. I was upset at myself for wasting precious phone time but I guess I needed to get it outta my system. He was a lil perturbed initially but he just said he was sorry I have all this to deal with, even though none of it is his fault.

I hope your day gets better! Feel free to message me anytime. I have to get ready for work. Hope it gets my mind off the ehh...!!

Must be something in the air or with the time change cuz it really hit me today! I have been doing pretty good for the past 7 weeks and today, I just felt like "how much more of this? really?" it's not even close to over and I think today just sucks.

Hey ladies! My bf has left for training in begining September but left for Afghanistan last Sunday...and it's been the slowest week ever!!!! Since he left I have really trying to keep busy but still it barely helps....Going back to church has helped me and definitely you ladies have helped a lot! I'm worried about what to expect....I can't wait for my DB to come back so we can start our life together! Ladies my heart goes out to all of you who are going through deployment right now....I am praying forr strengh for all of us!!!

I think this time of year is difficult. The days start to shorten and the weather changes forcing you in the house more, but you sound like you are doing the right thing by filling your days up. Hang in there and PM me if you need to chat.

I completely agree. DB and I talked about it, and we both think as soon as winter's over, it will start going faster for us back here. You seem to be doing everything you can. I feel the same way, too. It's just important to stay as busy as you can, and for me it helps to focus on the end, no matter how far away it feels like it is! I don't think about how long it's going to be, just that it will be. PM me if you ever need to talk! My DB's been gone about a month now...it feels like it's going to take forever sometimes!

Maybe you should look into reading books online or even playing a game or two. I keep myself busy with WoW and reading girly books. Also planning the wedding has kept me pretty busy...although I do have to agree, time is going so slow sometimes! It's not even a month for me.

Thanks for the thoughts! It's been really frustrating. This week went by ok, but now I feel like I'm at a "stand still". There's a lot going on right now, and I'm under an immense amount of stress. We'll put it this way: I just want to sleep all day so I don't have to deal with it. I won't do that... but I really want to.

Now that others have mentioned it the time change does seem to mess with how slow times moving. With it getting dark so early it feels like I should be going to bed at like...6 in the evening, it makes everything move so slow. But we will all be ok ladies! Just stay strong!
