My boyfriend left for boot camp on 10/24...I am having a REALLY hard time :(
Hi!
My boyfriend just left for boot camp on 10/24, and I am missing him so much! As soon as I wake up, I remember where he is at and that I won't hear from him in a long time. I am so used to being in constant communication with each other so this is hitting me really hard. I miss him so much it hurts! Getting through the day right now without crying a lot is a pretty big challenge. Not being able to see him or talk to him is difficult.
I am so proud and excited for him, but I miss him more than anything! Does anyone have any advice on how to get through these next 8 weeks? I am staying really busy with pursuing my career goals, etc. but I feel like a HUGE part of my world has been stripped away. I wrote him my first letter last night and will send it as soon as I get his address. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!

Thank you SO much, Carrie and Christina. This second day without him felt like week, but I talked to his mom on the phone today and she says it will get easier every day. I have already written four letters, and I am just dying to send them. Any idea on when I can expect his first letter? Carrie, have you gotten yours yet??!! I am supposed to find out his address tomorrow or the next day from his recruiter, hopefully he follows through on that...Thanks so much for the support, none of my friends understand what I'm going through, and so it's really helpful to have people that are going through the same things! Keep me updated or message me please! I can use the distractions!

The first two weeks are the hardest. I cried myself to sleep every night and cried most of the day. I checked my phone constantly hoping for a text or call. I would look at pictures and watch video's of us and get sad.
But then I got my first letter. It helped me so much to know that he was still alive (not that I thought her was dead just not talking to him made it feel that way) and to know that he was thinking about me. But then the next few days suck again. I checked the mail hoping for a letter and was severely disappointed when I didn't get one.
And then you'll get a phone call and the same thing that happened with your letter will happen.
But then you'll wake up and figure out what to do. Chances are you'll become a robot, but that is ok. You'll become a robot who can have a conversation with someone and not cry.
It sucks really really bad, and honestly there is nothing anyone can say to make the time go by faster. Write to him. Before I had my boyfriends address I wrote him like 10 letters, and the moment I got the address I sent them ALL. He said every time he gets mail he feels closer to me. And he should get mail everyday so write him everyday. Even though they can only send mail on Sunday's. And chances are they won't answer any of your thousands of questions you ask. Just keep writing.
What helped me was to think about our first kiss after 2 long months. Now I've got a month down and 28 day's to go. Some day's will be harder then others but I'm beyond proud of him. And think about it, whats 2 months when you've got your whole life ahead of you. It'll get easier I can promise you that. It just takes some time.
