It's going to be a long two weeks-

Well, let me start off with this is my first blog post, hopefully there will be many more to come, as this will probably be just a short one.
I'll do an intro first: I'm from America, my heart is from Canada, that's a good 2000 miles away. Yes, we met online. I never expected to fall for him, it just sort of happened and I'm glad it did. No we haven't met in person yet, but we will this summer hopefully.
Well, a little about him: He's in the Canadian army, as a matter of fact he had just gotten back from overseas before I started talking with him. As a result of a certain event happening (sorry, I'll be leaving that out) he has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. He has nightmares quite a lot, and he's kind of on edge if there's a loud unknown noise.
Anywho....let the real story begin:
Well, a few days ago he told me he got accepted into this program in Germany that he'd been waiting for for a year, which of course made me both very proud as well as happy for him. At that point I know he won't have time to text or communicate until the program is over, besides, I'd hate to interrupt this program with a silly text or phone call. Also, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have international calling on his phone which would jack up the bill, and I will NOT be the cause of that. Anywho, the program is two weeks long, so it's going to be a long two weeks. We have been out of contact before, during a four week training escapade. It was hard, but I feel like this is harder for the simple fact that there will be absolutely NO contact between us until he's back, and the fact that everything is going wrong with all these planes on the news makes me worry more. However I'm going to keep myself busy staying with family and friends to keep me occupied, I hope to show him that I'll be okay in the future, were he to ever go overseas. I am wishing him a safe flight and stay, hoping everything goes well.
There, I think I've said everything that's on my mind right now, that was longer than I originally thought I'd be writing. This was refreshing =)
Thanks for reading!

  Aww I can see how 2 weeks would be very long if you have no contact. But I'm sure if you keep yourself busy and have your family and friends to hang out with and talk to and be around, and you also have this forum if you want to, and it will be over before you know it and you will be back to talking more regularly again!
  
  My boyfriend has PTSD but he wasn't in the military (he almost did but that's a different story), it was rather from a few traumatic events in his child/teen years, more than anyone should have to go through, and he gets flashbacks and also higher anxiety all the time and he has problems relaxing and always feeling like he has to be on guard. It's tough having PTSD. I'm sure it helps your SO to have you in his life. I hope things work out great for you two! Just keep busy during this time without contact, make a countdown to help see the days passing if that helps.
  
  Yes, I already have a countdown to when he gets back. Though we didn't talk the night before, I stayed up til 3 a.m. to see if we could, but I ended up falling asleep O_O He sent me a few texts that made my day/morning =) (I'm sure I'll be re-reading those in the next two weeks)
  PTSD is a terrible thing to deal with doesn't matter where it came from, I'll admit it, it scares me a little bit. However, that doesn't make me love him any less. I'm happy I'm someone he can come to to talk about that with me. ^-^ Thank you, I hope things go well with you and your SO as well. =)
  Atleast I know someone who has an SO with PTSD, This will be helpful I'm sure in the future. ^-^

  PTSD is a horrid thing to deal with no matter what caused it. Thank you- I like to think we have gotten through the worst of it all but you never know.
