You Can't Spend All Day Worrying

There are a ton of things that you can worry about on deployment, where your husband is, whether or not he's in danger, when he's coming home, whether you'll get along when he comes home, honestly this list can go on and on. But there's really no point to it. I try my best to worry as least as I possibly can on deployment.  In light of recent events I've gotten the opportunity to turn my worry meter on but I chose not to, I had a friend message me in the early hours of the morning about  foriegn affairs and the proximity of my husband to what's happening but I chose to just remind her that he knows what he's doing and I can't do anything to stop it so worrying is pointless. Then I see his strike force on the news and instead of obsessing I change the channel and chose to be ill informed (something completely out of character for me). I'd rather not know anything about it than spend all day worrying about my husbands part in some mission overseas. If it were important I would know, if I had reason to worry my husband would tell me but he hasn't and he won't because we ( I ) have faith in the strength of the United States Navy and I know that my sailor is a damn fine boatswainmate and I'd rather put my energy toward school, and him then spend it in bed thinking about all the awful things that can happen.I knnow that doesn't always seem possible, to just will yourself into not worrying. But for me it works, I just decide that I'm not going to make a mountain out of a mole hill, if something ACTUALLY happens I can react from there of course, but I truly make the conscious decision not to let anything get to me until then because honestly if you do you'll end up losing all your hair and breaking out daily from the stress. So don't let it get to you, have an outlet for pent up frustration and if you are worried tell your significant other, let them know what you're worried about and maybe they'll be able to put your mind at ease. They know you better than anyone else in the world, I'm sure if you tell them how you're feeling they'll reassure you that everything it going to be alright.
