I think he wants to know why he is so depressed. And how to get rid of it.
Just think about how lucky you are to have your son and your wife. And a new baby coming. Don't see it as stress. See yourself as LUCKY.
Some people don't even have families.
Good luck.

You probably volunteered - every soldier misses their loved ones / friends but not to the point of depression - seek medical...thank you for your service and I hope you're better soon !!

my husband is a soldier and is deploying fairly soon. Im not sure what someone saying that you volunteered has anything to do with it. No matter the reason you are over, you need to think about how lucky your wife and children are to have someone who is willing to risk their life to support them.
You have to work through being depressed and just focus on getting back safely and being in your families daily life again.
Thankyou for your service!!

if your a christian you should read the bible daily and ask the Lord for help, other than that you should remember that your going to go fight for your family and for the people you love.

Thank You for everthing you do, you are a true hero. Everyday think about how when your children are about 7 or 8 years old how you are real American hero. My husband is an ex- military member who got out on 9/11...01.(technically 9/10/01, but you know the whole 00:00 thing with the military) Anyway I never had to go through this, but see my brother and many friends go through it, know that you are NOT alone, there are many people who are having the same feelings as you but may not want to or know how to express them. I can however understand your pain of not being with your family; I pray that your deployment goes by fast and each everyone of our soilders are able to come home very soon. Again, thank you for all that you do day in day out; you are thought about and loved by many.

It's a common occurance in many many people these days. Your average cynicism. Your mind is telling you that something is seriously seriously wrong with your life, however you personally have nothing to find so seriously wrong with. It's your minds own way of fighting against you kind of. Just kind of ignore it. You may feel depressed, but you may really just be thankful, yet your mind doesn't register that kind of emotion at the time. Eventually it SHOULD go away. And everyone has those weeks were everythings bad... That's two years of my life, but optomism is a very definite plus when it comes to these situations.

I was stationed at Camp Humphreys in 1997 and I had a lot of extra duties to contend with...but it kept me busy. That's how I kept my mind occupied while in a similar situation. Volunteer and remember you're there to protect freedom and your family.
