I can't realy help, as I've always been the deployed and never the left at home. But i can say this...B/c of the way most Army wives handle their husbands being deployed, I'm glad to hear you're in so much pain. I know that sounds horrible, but it's just that you truley love your soldier and you're not one of the statistics. Tell him I said congrats on finding one of the good ones, I guess we are among the lucky ones, and it almost seems like you're the last of a dieing breed. Good luck and keep your head up.

I am not a woman going through what your going through (keep you in my thoughts), but I know anxiety. Doctors did nothing for me, but Acupuncture worked miracles, and there are so many new age concepts that just work. I would do some research, and try something I mean what else are you going to do? Right? I know some people are iffy on the whole new age thing, but Acupuncture has been around for thousands of years. Good luck I hope this helps you!!! I would take Acupuncture over medication any day.

i dont blame u for worrying it does sound like anxiety that is a normal reaction to worry about your loved one
try not to think about whats going on were your husband is dont constantly look at the news for a glimmer of hope that this will end try to concentrate on your life and whats happening to you i am sure you re husband does not want you to worry if it gets worse and u find you are constantly obsessing about this some medication may help perhaps there are support groups in your area for soldiers loved ones this probably would help the most because there are a lot of worrying loved ones left behind hope this helps you

The armed services provides service for significant others and spouses just like you. You are not forgotten. Contact your local veterans office or doctor and tell them of your plight. They may connect you with others in your area, groups for counseling, etc. Families, people with the same problems. You'll find your not alone. An armed service registration office will be able to help also.

My best friend just got home. I refused to watch the news. And I emailed often. Needing to know she was still alive. I don't have anything else to say. Sorry. I'm sure he'll be fine. My thoughts are with you.

Just remember how brave he is and that is is fighting for something important, our freedom. It may not help your anxiety but you must be very proud of him. I would be more worried if you weren't experiencing anxiety. Just remember how much you love him and that hopefully you will see him soon.

just relax and have faith. There is nothing to worry about- don't watch the news and send him 2 letters a day from different post offices. you don't want to start having anxiety attacks. smoke a joint to mellow out if you can. I will put your family in my prayers.
