Dealing with Deployment: Figthing Depression Post R&R

This video outlines some things that I did to keep myself from being too depressed when my boyfriend went back after his R&R. It was a really difficult time, but I got through it.

Please note the awesome music at the beginning title and end credits. I just learned how to do it so I'm proud. =]

If you have any suggestions of your own, feel free to leave them in the comments and share what you know so others may benefit!

You can send any questions or suggestions for new videos to me in e-mail or post them in comments.

I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

is ur boyfriend back for good now ?

[AmiraJericho]

@RaeRae914 He's my fiancé now. =] Well, my fiancé is back, but I don't think anyone is ever back for good. If he stays in the military and chooses not to get out, he might deploy again. I don't know what the future holds in that department. But, short answer is, yes, he's back! xD So happy about that!!

@SpcE4Wife Holy crap, girl, you're quick! lol I missed you, too!!! I'll inbox you later about how he proposed. =] It was cool. When are you starting your videos again? Let me know when! I hope all is well with you! **hugs**

Thank you. My BF just left from our R&R and all you said makes sense. When he left the 2nd time I didn't cry, but now I feel heavy and sad. We had a wonderful time together and now I'm back to square one. :)

[AmiraJericho]

@babushka13 You're quite welcome. I'm really glad it helped. Being a little sad once they leave is normal, but I think you'll find that you're a lot more capable of dealing with this than you could possibly have imagined before. Deployments have a way of making us stronger in the end. If you need any help, feel free to send me an e-mail. Hang in there!

@litcece Aww, I'm sorry for you, hon. I know exactly how you feel. It's sweet that he got you a puppy!! What did you name it? Is it a boy or girl puppy? =] I hope you're holding up alright!! Feel free to e-mail me if you need anything! Let me know how things are going from time to time. I would love to hear from you. *hugs*

[AmiraJericho]

@litcece Aah! I'm so happy for you! Just soak up all the time you have right now. Take LOTS of pictures, and make some good memories. Remember, don't hang out on the web too much (but I *am* glad you stopped by to let us know how things are going!) =] Hope the rest of your time goes well with him. Let us know how it went!
