feeling a lil depressed..

yesterday was the last time ill beable to see my boyfriend / babydaddy til most likely my due date. he left early this morning for basic training. i'm extremely upset and beginning to feel a little bit depressed. i'm pretty good with dealing with it ...until i'm alone that is. as long as im busy or around people my mind is off of all it. i dont think about how long he'll be away or how he may possibly miss the birth of our first child :/ but it's once i get alone, i just can't stop crying.. and its only the first day ! i cant even imagine how the rest of the next 3 - 4 months will go.
i'm 22w2d so far, i know being stressed isnt good for the baby. i also feel as tho i can't talk to my family about it cos they just say there's nothing i can do. which i know but that doesn't stop the hurt "/
i just need some advice on what i should do while i'm alone, so i dont feel as depressed and down. apparently talking to family or close friends isn't helping .. cos they dont seem to understand :(

I tried starting a journal, but I feel like I should waait a couple days lol.. every time I try I just bawl my eyes out. I havent been away from him for more then 2 days. I do have my family for the pregnancy support.. but they dont understand how i feel about my boyfriend leaving. And this is both our first child,  Soo in a sense I do feel alone at this point.

Truthfully right next to the men and women that risk their lives for our country the partners that stand by them through it all are so brave and selfless. I can not imagine going through being pregnant alone. I wish there was some help or advice I could offer but all I can say is good luck and I'm sorry

I know its not that long, but to me ..it seems like forever. Hes already upset hes missing everything that happens during the pregnancy. @mommymay , I dont think id beable to deal that long ! But I love my boyfriend so i'd wait for him. It ***** your hubby will miss alot in the beginning :/ but we can all support eachother !
@sadie , I plan on writing him letters, I just have to waait til he sends me one first so I kno the adress ): but I think ill try the journal thing.. I think that could work, its wurh a try!

That is very difficult to deal with. Instead of trying to keep busy to not think about it, try writing him letters or writing a journal, express how you feel by writing it out. When you write him letters tell him how your day went and be honest. Its goin to be hard but youll be ok, you will only get stronger from the experiences.
