An emotionally rough day

I got to talk to DH yesterday on the phone so you'd think I'd be over joyed today, but no such luck.  I don't know what came over me this afternoon but it took everything I had not to burst into tears at my desk.  

I still feel like I want to cry and I can't even tell you why!

Re: An emotionally rough day

  • Julie, I wish I could give you a big hug and go out for a drink with you. You are handling everything way better than I could. I'm sorry you're having an emotionally draining day. :(

    I really really hope tomorrow is better for you and that you get to talk to your hubby again SOON!

  • :( You can come stay with us for awhile :).  You just have to love dogs, cats and nature...

    I can't imagine, but I have friends who have gone through or are going through it and i know its tough on them.  My very good friend just takes it one day at a time..and doesn't feel guilty or bad when she has bad days...

  • I'm sorry, Julie.  I seriously can't imagine...but like pp sad, you are totally allowed to have bad days.  Make fun plans for this weekend!

    This exactly - you're sooo allowed to have bad days. I hope today is a better day for you ((hugs))

  • Oh Julie I'm so sorry.  No explanation is needed here.  All I can say is, I hope the day goes better for you.  :::Hugs:::
  • Julie I'm so sorry.  I have absolutely no idea what you are going through, but I know it must be hell ::HUGS::
  • hugs love.

    go into the bathroom, lock the door, and let it out.  it might make you feel better.

  • Major hugs. You're under a lot of stress so bad days are expected, don't feel bad about being emotional. Let it all out and try to do something fun/relaxing. He'll be home before you know it!
  • While I don't have DH gone as long as you do, it's tough.  He just arrived in Africa yesterday and won't be home until August.  It gets easier with time though it never gets easy.  I still cry everytime he leaves from his R&R.  I also like to try to find things for him when I feel like that....get a picture he liked framed or work on the baby's scrapebook or write him a sweet email or whatever.  It makes me feel connected to him even when he's not there.

    I know its weird how you look forward to hearing his voice but after the call, it just makes missing him harder.  

  • Lots 'n lots of ***hugs*** Julie!
  • Thank you all for understanding!  As I've said before I don't have that many friends offline and the few I do have are all at different stages in their lives so it's hard to connect with them at times. 

    I work in the health insurance world so the future of my job at the moment doesn't seem promising.  While I think it will still be around at least for a few more years I'm faced with what to do next. And in order to keep our house we just built I need to have a job! The one person I would turn to that would reassure me everything is going to be ok is DH and obviously he's not here right now to do that.  This is the first time in my life that everything at the moment is on my shoulders, and I feel like I'm barely keeping everything in the air.  This week wasn't a good one, but I'm hoping that this weekend will be better and I'll overcome my blues.

    I do appreciate all the kind and supportive words posted above, you ladies are truely amazing and I'm lucky to have such wonderful online friends.
