My best friend finally proposed 3 days before being deployed overseas. We still have 9 months to go, and my stress levels are skyrocketing! I know he's been miserable there and misses me too, but we are opposite sides of the world and don't have a lot of time to work together on this. I want to make our day unforgettable because we've been through so much together already. My family is on the other side of the country and his family is very.. unopinionated I guess would be the best word. I struggle with GAD and depression, and I feel so alone in this process. I feel horrible for causing him worry about me, he calls as often as he can and just sounds so tired but wants to make sure I'm ok. Has anyone else ever been in this position? Or one similar, like having a baby while your SO is absent? Any advice on how to get through this would be greatly appreciated
