Venting and a question
Ok, I thought I was ready for this whole hubby being gone to be a trucker thing. I know to stay busy, I know to be supportive, I've heard most the advice. But here I am, at 2 in the morning, feeling like I want to bawl my eyes out. Why? I feel helpless and very alone. My hubby is out with a trainer currently, and is having a few issues. I'm very used to being able to help him through anything..and everything. This time..I don't even know enough to know what is and isn't supposed to be going on.
What makes it worse currently, is he calls me on his trainers cell phone, which is great don't get me wrong. But..I'm not allowed to call him except for emergencies. Well, I can't quite talk myself into me falling apart being an emergency, so here I sit. I know this will probably smooth out just fine, maybe even by the next time I talk to him, it just doesn't seem to be doing me much good right now. Also..does anybody else have trouble making themselves go to bed? I get tired, and then I push past it and don't feel it so much anymore. And it ends up being 3 and 4 in the morning before I make it to bed. I know that can't be helping here, any suggestions. Thanks for letting me vent.. |
Get into a good book or a good movie to take your mind off things. Sitting there typing at the computer about it will only make it worse.

Thanks, although I have to disagree in some ways. Writing is an outlet for me, and tends to help tremendously, with or without an answer. It tends to let it off my chest enough for me to move on.
Either way, the morning light is always a new perspective. |
Try Melatonin to help you sleep! You can get it from any store. It works great for me when I need it.

As for not being able to get to sleep. Oh you bet I get that way. I just find something to do. Do you have anything that you do for a hobby? If you do any then make something for your husband even if it's something small. Do you listen to music put the headphones on and get lost in the music it helps me to get my mind off things. You can also go to www.loads.org it is a great place for support there are lots of wives, drivers and even parents to drivers ect. there. Loads stands for love ones and drivers support. Even though I was raised in this industry when my husband went OTR almost 6 years ago I would of never made it through the first 3 months if it was not for this board and loads. Hang in there it will get better keep your chin up. |

Madii"swife,
I would,.........oh hell who am I fooling, my relationship is going down the tubes, and I don't even know why. Hang in there, it'll get better as long as you don't dump him for not doing something you want him to do when you know he won't do it :? . As far as sleep,....run a few miles before bed and you will sleep like a baby. |

As far as running a few miles..ever tried that after dark, in a black neighborhood when you're white..with a stroller? :lol: The sleep thing has gotten better though, I started getting up earlier, before the children, and am exhausted by bedtime that way. Thanks for the encouraging words! |
I know you started this a month ago. I've notice your stress in other posts. But I think you are doing what you can and what you need to do. That is have lines of communication...whether it is online message, chat, email, or even yakking it up on the phone. That way you can express your feelings, and understand yourself in the process. I know when I write my feelings out, or express them in any number of ways...I open up my feelings more, and see things more clearly.
