Separation Anxiety+disability coping?

Question

Hi, my boyfriend deployed awhile ago and I’m having issues coping with him being gone. I also have a disability and am working part time from home. But am emotionally unstable. Can anyone offer any ideas for ways to keep busy?

Answer

I would say use this time to try to find a job outside of the home. Your mental health is super important during this time, as he needs to rely on you to be okay when he can't be around to support you. You need to meet other people and find something to do outside of the house. It's great that you have a job, but for someone who struggles with a lot of anxiety, staying in can sometimes exasperate the symptoms and you'll just feel worse.  speaking from experience because my boyfriend's also on a deployment and I have really bad anxiety and depression, but the best thing is coming home from a really long day and feeling safe and happy in my house.
