I think I'm going crazy


He broke the silence. A few days ago. I got a brief email and my heart stopped for a second.
I didn’t know what to expect, would he be angry, sad or upset? But in the end, I was wrong. 

“I love you and I’ll be back soon”

All I want is it to be over NOW. I’ve truly been at my limits, with nearly seven weeks without 
contact at all. I kinda learned to take control over my mind when all it’s doing is going crazy 
and thinking mad stuff about why he still hasn’t contacted. 

I suppose it’s nearly over and done with. But it still doesn’t feel like it will ever end. Is there 
ever going to be some kind of “normality” some point soon? My life turned upside down 
since I madly fell for a soldier.

I want to be honest. During the past weeks, I went through the biggest amounts of emotions 
a human can probably stand. It’s been the most amazing four days when I had C. home on 
RnR. But what followed after that, blew up nearly every experience I had so far. These 
seven weeks of silence did cruel things to me. I went from “I’ll be okay” to “why is this 
happening to me” to “why is this JUST happening to me” (it felt like it’s been just me) to 
“he must hate me” to “Right, I don’t give a fuck anymore”. After that last stage (there 
were surely more than these four but it would take ages to list them) I came to the point
where I nearly broke a couple of times. I came to the point when I no longer believed in 
our love or in our relationship. To the point I thought the past six months weren’t worth 
the pain. The only thing that ever got me through this deployment was his love. But during 
these seven weeks of no contact, there was no love. Well, no love I could see, hear or 
read. But I could probably feel it. Otherwise I wouldn’t still be here, waiting. 

I said I want to be honest. Sometimes I thought he hates me. Sometimes I thought I hate 
him. Most of my friends told me – again – he couldn’t be serious if I still haven’t heard.
To leave him. It might be hard, but how could I ever leave him? In the end I couldn’t even 
tell him how I feel because there is not contact! How ironic. Anyways, just some people 
keep on putting faith back into my heart. Keep on telling me to not listen to my brain at 
the moment. And I swear – without them I wouldn’t stand here now. They are what I call 
friends for life. And they are so important – always, but especially in times when my mind 
goes crazy and starts telling me things to prepare me for the worst. Because they have 
a clear view on what’s happening to me. 

So, 6 ½ months of tour are done. What’s happening after C. comes home – I don’t know. 
I don’t know a date, I don’t know anything. It fears me. But hey, didn’t they say you have to 
face your worst fears for the one you love?
