Coping with My Husband Leaving for Basic Training

Humor...bad bad humor. 😥

It won’t be easy at first cause you’ll miss him. Try to enjoy your own company. Reach out to friends. Do Art and journal. Listen to your favorite music. Watch Netflix. I hope this helps.

My boyfriend just recently went to NTC (Ik it’s not the same sorry) but what I do in the mean time is try to keep myself busy with my hobbies, work, and friends. I also reread his and I messages so I feel I lil less lonely without him. I also text him even tho I know he’s not gonna answer it’s just the idea that he’ll respond when he gets back. I also look at old videos and pictures we have together. I hope all that helps

all my coping mechanisms are almost all escapism . listening to podcasts (my main ones atm are 'last podcast on the left', a very funny true crime podcast and 'distractable' with Markiplier and his two close friends, bob and wade, where one hosts and gives a topic, and they tell personal stories about that topic and almost always get distracted..) drawing, usually drawing things i feel, small stories, characters, clothing, anatomy, and poses. roleplaying, as my own characters or other fictional characters with friends, their characters or a fictional character. journaling, poetry, song writing, playing guitar, scrolling down reddit, instagram, twitter, going on discord, etc... also tv! movies, films, shows, youtube, i spend lots of my free time with my cat watching random shit on youtube, lol . try also going out, go someplace you think about going to, window shopping, trying clothes on and not buying any of them, and maybe bring a friend or more with you. i really hope this helps!

Have you tried Journaling? Maybe you can write him letters while he's gone.
