So my boyfriend got his bed date for work release!! July 13th!! I am super excited about it...

My problem is since i found out his work release date i cant seem to sleep at all. I am up all night thinking and thinking. Then during the day all im doing is thinking. Thinking of him, how life is going to be like once this is all over. I am just stuck in this funk. Cant seem to escape it! 24/7 non stop thinking of him. I cant shut my mind off.

Since my boyfriend was placed so far away ive seen him once in the two years hes been away. Its been about a year since i have seen him. So im really happy hes finally going to be in the same town as me.

Is what im going through normal? Whatever normal is these days lol... I feel like i should be so much happier but i feel so depressed because i just want it to all be over. I just am feeling so alone right now. Why cant he just be coming home instead of going to work release

?? Im just going through all sorts of emotions. Been having some serious anxiety issues too.....

J comes home in 18 days and I cannot sleep. I know it is only gonna get worse. But, it is just the typical coming home emotions. The fear of the unknown, what is going to happen, just the change of him being close again!

I completely understand what you are feeling. My husband has been gone 5 years and due to the distance, visits were once or twice a year at most. Then we get a release date and Bam! Everything becomes real and you realize that he has been gone for so long, you haven't seen each other, so much has changed and both of you are going to be readjusting, not just him. Happy, excited, relieved, tired, nervous, anxious, he's coming home so soon and yet it still seems like forever. It's a jumble of emotions that contradict each other. I have found some peace when I get really jumbled up by just focusing on the love we have for each other and knowing that what ever comes our way, facing life together, side by side, will beat this crap any day! I don't know if this is normal but that's okay. Feel what you feel and don't worry about if it's normal or not. Good luck to you and your man. Just focus on the positive, except life to be filled with ups and downs, and find ways to keep yourself busy! Good luck!

I went through this too recently. My guy had a hearing May 31st and we were sure they would let him out....at least HE was sure. I was so restless and hyper leading up to the hearing. I had a mini melt down at work...I work graveyard...all alone thank God. I got really stress overloaded playing a Facebook game. The computer freezes a lot etc. Well that night I just flipped....sold a bunch of buildings I NEEDED in the game. Next night I was like OMG!! What did I do??!! Hahaha I know stupid example but real. He did NOT get released so still on the emotional roller coaster til his time is up....Dec 2nd. When he IS released we are completely FREE of DOC!!! Nothing else hanging over us....but when the countdown gets very close again I will once again be wide open....excited, scared....

Thank you so much, i guess ive never really looked at that way. But i am starting to understand it now. I just need to find a way to be able to rest my mind at night and set all of this aside lol. Thank all you ladies for your support. I couldnt do this without all of you

I can understand what you are feeling. We are not as close as you are right now but I do sit there and think and everday that I see that it is getting closer the more I worry about what is going to happen.

Hang in there it will all be worth it once you are able to put your arms around him!
