I relapsed...I started using again yesterday. I dont know why I just did. Atleast I havent cut yet. …
so lastnight after i was on here, it was bad. I went upstairs to go to bed and all I could do was cry. I seriously thought that I had cried so much that I just couldn't anymore, but I couldn't find a way to stop. So I started writing. I started a new journal, just for my feelings about this. I guess you could call it more of a letter to him.. even though I'll never show it to him. But I write like I'm talking to him, rather than to just some nonexistent being. I think it's easier for me to write like that. Cuz even though I know he's not hearing what I'm saying, I feel like I'm getting it out and venting to him.
I think what really got me though, was that I hadn't talked to him all day yesterday (well, since he called me at 0900). Monday night before we went to bed, we had a little fight. Okay, more than a little fight. I was just really upset, and started crying and he was getting mad at me cuz I wouldn't stop. For a while he just laid there in bed and ignored me, but then he finally got up and started fighting with me. I wish he would just understand sometimes that I just NEED to cry. Especially in this situation. He always asks me what's wrong or what's bothering me when I cry. It's been the same thing for the last month and a half! He's not going to be here, and he just doesn't get how hard that is on me. SO anyways, he started yelling at me, telling me to come to bed and stop crying, that I was being fucking ridiculous, that he promises he'll come home, that he is losing a lot more than me... which I know he is.. he has to leave everyone, his parents, his son, his friends... and we're all just losing him. But when he is one of the most important people in my life, I can't just accept it and get over it so easily. Finally after this went on for like two hours, I calmed down, and we went to bed. All I wanted him to do was hold me in his arms for the last few hours we could be together.
It really hit me though, lastnight, when I hadn't talked to him all day, and today I haven't heard from him. It made me realize how spoiled I have been the last three weeks that he's been gone. I've talked to him everyday at least once, sometimes like 4 or 5 times a day. So having to go to bed lastnight without being able to tell him good night and that I love him, was so hard for me. That was the first night in 8 months that I haven't done that. It made me realize that it's gonna be like that though. When he's in Iraq, I won't be able to talk to him everyday. Maybe not even every week. That is really going to be the hardest thing..not hearing his voice. I just kept calling his phone lastnight too, knowing it would go to voicemail, but at least I got to hear his voice. ![]()

sweetie i know how hard it is. i went through it too! it was very hard for brandon to handle me before he left. I was a mess and he didn't always know what to do. just hang in there, its hard for him to be about to put up with everyones emotions and his and all the things he has to do for the military! take care and if you need to talk let me know

I know before my John left i used to cry alot, he would get upset but not because he was mad that i was upset or mad that he was leaving, but he was upset becuase he could not do anything in his power to make it better. Guys are fixers they see a problem and they wish to fix it. your man yells at you and gets upset because the problem is you being broken hearted over something he can't fix and does not know how to deal with it in any other way. (or at lest that's my point of view and my idea on it) In time it will work ou. You need to keep telling yourself that your strong enough to do this.and we are all here to talk when you have a hard night.

hey there honey i'm still going through the same thing and it's been 2 months since my husband has left. and this is his 3rd tour in iraq. it is hard for you and really hard for him because he can't just hold you when he's having a bad day. my husband and i fought the whole week before he left and when he left i couldn't even make it home for at least 2hrs because i couldn't believe i fought with him before he left. you just need to stay strong and keep your head up. you'll make it. but if you need to talk let me know. i know what you are going through.

I spent the year my fiancee was in iraq in tears... Writing in that journal is a great idea....BUt I was thinking you should also let him read it when he comes home. Unless its mean stuff about him... Then burn it as his plane is landing. :) (That was a joke) ... HUgs to you sweetie.. We are all braver than we feel right now.
