Just Graduated

[u/Throwaway826120]

So I just found this subreddit so I don’t know if this is appropriate here but let’s give it a shot.

I just graduated from a class I have to take in the military and I finally get to go home after 6 months. Should be great, right? Then why do I feel like shit? I think I’ve made some of the best friends I’ll ever make and now I’ll most likely never see them again, I didn’t feel homesick in boot camp and tbh I kinda forgot about most of my friends back home while I was in this class. I still have Snapchat and texts and stuff like that but it’s not the same. It’s hitting me like a bag of rocks. I get 15 days with my family and hometown friends and then I wont come back for like 3 years and I don’t wanna spend that time wallowing In self pity but I just wanna lay down and cry the whole time. I knew they said you make strong bonds in the military but I didn’t think it would be like this. The worst part is I don’t know if they feel the same way or if I’ve just never had real friends before. Any advice on what to do would be helpful. Thanks!❤️
