Calling all military wives and girlfriends

Hello Elm....is he in the USMC & are you British or American? Welcome anyway & sorry to be so nosey.
My Hubby & I went to Washington DC a couple of years ago to run the Marathon sponsered by the USMC & it was the best holiday I think we've had....they are a great bunch & soooooo supportive!

Hi Bev......on the insomnia front, is it new or do you always suffer from it? Get to your GP would be my advice & are you getting any support from your BF's regiment (presuming he's Army)?

Hey hun

He's in the RAF, so no support from the squadron because we haven't been together that long and we knew he was going to afghan. So we tried to spend as much time as we could together, which helped :)

I've never suffered with it before! Only since Sam got deployed really, I think it's because I'm worried about him in a dangerous place and I just want him back now and safe xxx

Yep I know where you're coming from Bev, but you really need to sort out your insomnia...have you tried all the techniques to try & help you sleep & if they aren't working maybe you do need to see you GP. Nobody can tell you to stop worrying & night times are always the worse as the brain goes into overdrive. I know you said he's in a 'safe' place, so try & remember that. Are there any 'support' groups run by his regiment/or any near by/ do you know any other 'WAG's that you can talk to that are in the same position as you....as its always good to talk to others ,as you will see that what you're feeling is 'normal' & that there are others out there who feel the same as you x

Yep I know hun. I tried to ring my doctors but they are positively shocking at being able to assist me! I work therefore I can only go at certain times of which they only release appointments at midday the day before. Well given the job I do and the fact that my lunch is usually 1.30 the appointments have usually gone!! They are a joke but that really is another story.

Nope I don't know any other groups or WAGs from his squadron. He's the only one from that squadron based at his home base, the rest of the squadron are based 4 hours west of where he is. So all the other WAGs have their oh's at home at the moment.

But at least when they do go on deployment they can turn to me if they need support.

This week my appetite really has gone :( xx

Lol I've already got my mind planning the dinner part. The rest I hadn't thought of yet as 9 weeks is a bit of a long way ahead.

I have been eating even though I haven't actually wanted to. I've been sticking to the plan x

Hi I have only just found this group, my fiance is in the RAF so I can totally understand how people are feeling at times. He was away last year on a tour of duty for 4 months, fingers crossed that is his last for a while as I don't think I could deal with another one just yet.

Hope you are all coping at the minute.

I can totally sympathise the last few weeks do seem the hardest, at least you have made it through & you can almost see light at the end of the tunnel. Try to keep positive, think of the time at home he will get once he's back. Mine got 1 month off & after about 2 weeks I was ready for him to go back to work hehe x

To be fair to him today he came online when I asked! I send human ebluey last night kindly asking him to come online!

Hats off to him he made me cry in a good way, and laugh and put all my fears at rest. Man I love the bones of him. Xx
