I can handle being around taxidermied things if I <em>have</em> to, but I really, really prefer not to. Mine stems from a raggedy, poorly-done stuffed wolf's head in my maternal grandmother's house. "If you're bad," she'd say, "the wolf sees it, and he tells me. He sees everything I don't." At 26 I realise stuffed, dead animals cannot see me, but irrational fears and phobias know no logic. If I have to be around it, I have to cover its eyes or at least block its line of "sight" to me or Bad Things Happen. Not really the type of thing one can say "good to know I'm not the only one" to, so "I know that feel" will suffice, I suppose. Stupid taxidermy. ಠ_ಠ OH GOD I KNOW THAT FEEL.

Stupid taxidermy. ಠ_ಠ

It's bad enough if I go to a hotel that has that in a lobby, or a restaurant. I can't imagine the hell of being forced to see one every day at school. :-O Oh crikey @ that in a school.

I don't have a phobia like you but I can totally understand why someone might have a phobia because it's really creepy. My high school used to have a moose head in it and I used to dislike being in that room. Eww. I don’t really like taxidermy either.

I know it is always much easier to have a group of people, or even one person, who you feel you relate to. I felt it hard enough with my LDR and it was always nice to feel that there were other people in similar situations. I hope you find some other people through your new Tumblog or through other means so that you have an outlet or someone to relate with and share stories with. Also, I hope you are able to see your boyfriend sometime soon. :) I’m sorry you have had to go through this.

Now I'm an Army fiance, which really isn't much different except that the FRG recognizes me as, you know, a person. ...Despite the fact I lived with him for three of those years. ...And that he was deployed to Afghanistan for one of those. Anyways, I'm 25 now, and I know what you go through. I choose to move with him around the country which means a lot of paperwork and job hunting for me, but that's my choice. And it's something I've learned to live with. ;) The experience is something you have to embrace, and take it for the positives it gives you. In the end, at least to me, they outweigh the cons. :) I was an Army girlfriend for 5 years.

It is true, I'm not alone. It's just finding those people that's hard. Best of luck and love to your friend! I hope the time passes quickly for them to be together again. Thank you!

A close friend of mine has a boyfriend who is our other friend's brother and he is in the army. He has currently been deployed for 2 years and it is putting a huge strain on my close friend because she is 28, wants kids and wants to be married. I think he has another 2 and a half years to go or something. I can't imagine how difficult it is not knowing the future or having it set in stone, unlike my friend who will get her man in a few years time, but I'm sure there are definitely other women out there like yourself with career men in the navy. :) You are not alone.

Maybe, if I figure something out. The Inconvenient Love tumblog is kind of an outlet in that way. Hopefully other people can feel like they're not alone.

I am also a navy girlfriend. I live on my own, support myself, and hold down a rather nice job in finance. I know what you mean where a lot of the girlfriends are younger and harder to relate to. I already finished college and have more life experience. Sure I want to get married... but kids? Not so much. My boyfriend is currently deployed so yah, he is far away. His home port is still 2200 miles away from where I live though. We are sort of alike. Hey,
