Scared
DH's R&R is coming up and I cant help but feel nervous. When he left I was a wreck, it took a while to get used to being alone, sleeping alone, and finding a routine. I'm afraid its going to be the same thing all over again (after R&R). In a way I think it would be better if he didn't come home. Don't get me wrong, I miss him like crazy and want to see him and spend time with him. Its the part where he leaves I don't want to go through again... a couple of weeks just isn't enough. I should be used to this by now, the most time we have spent together, in the past 2 years, is 15 days. Am I silly for feeling this way?
Re: Scared
That's the number for military one source. I think you should utilize their free counseling services. I think at a lower level, your feelings are normal, but this seems extreme. H and I used One Source's free counseling, and it was awesome. I would use it for individual counseling if I were feeling like you.

What Stan said, or see about calling a Military Family Life Consultant. I know we have them on AF bases, I'm sure Army (or other branches) posts/bases are no different.
They keep no records, you don't even have to tell them your first name if you don't want and they can give you some tips. I called them when I was debating on seeking counseling for some unemployment/husband deployed/I'm halfway around the world having surgery alone without family depression I was experiencing and I called them first. They were super helpful in giving me some ways to cope with anxiety and how to best seek further help if needed. They're a great resource!
