Why does the radio have all the sad, depressing, not happy ending songs on....especially those based on military situations....on right now....

It's not helping my mental state.

    They don't have a kids radio station at school.

    It's either the sad songs or the "I hate living" songs....which work somedays.....

    Thanks, I have just been blah every since last Wed (when he left).
    Doesn't help I am stuck back with the parents and my father and I do not.....tolerate each other well.
    My dang Lasik threw off my tear ducts so I can't even cry......
    I haven't worked out in forever either, just not feeling it.....which sucks cause I want to lose this weight before he comes back next year.

    Everyday that goes by is one more day closer that you will be in his arms again! The sacrafices that he and you, as a military (almost) spouse make are GREATLY appreciated. He will be in my prayers every day until his safe return home to you!
    Sending ((((HUGS))))) to you!

    Awww sweets. (((hugs))) Of course you're having a hard time. It hasn't even been a week yet. It's a hard adjustment to make! So don't be mad at yourself - you're not weak. You're very strong - look at what you are dealing with! So, when you have a few minutes just go take a walk. Get out and think about what's weighing on your mind. Mull through the tough stuff. Then start developing a plan in your mind. Think about what you want to have happen when he gets back. Focus on his return and preparing for it. I know, he just left. But if you start preparing for his return mentally, physically and emotionally right now it will give you something to focus on going forward and with anticipation instead of focusing on his leaving - behind and sad. You'll make it! We're here for you too. (((hugs)))

    Thanks....

    The huge thing....I am a horrible pessimist.....(which I rarely let filter over to him)
    I know it's horrible to think but I haven't been able to think beyond this year....cause....
    What if something happens....
    I mean, my little family (my daughter and I) has built our world around him......

    You'll make yourself crazy going there! Focus on him coming back and being the best "you" you can be for him. Yes, there is the potential for heartbreak Yup, a lot could happen. Push those thoughts aside and keep your thoughts on "When he comes back . . ." And "He will be back on [this date] I am going to plan a party for his return" "I'm going to look so sexy for him - he won't even care about the party" "Maybe I should plan the party for a couple of days later . . ." :) (smilies won't work)

    I do the same thing. But start writing lists and planning and working toward your goal of being so hot you set his socks on fire when he comes back!!! It will eventually seep in and you will have a less pessimistic attitude! (((hugs)))

    I will try.
    They won't tell us anything.
    Not even a return home date....when he can/if at all get leave.....
    They keep switching his orders around....what little the higher-ups told us they aren't following through with....

    I don't do well with missing facts,.

    Thanks, I don't really talk to many about "it" (aka fears, hopes, dreams, etc)
    My family is alright but..... I don't know.... I keep a lot to myself....
