Does anyone else besides me have "visit withdrawals"?

I visited my man today and now I'm having withdrawals. I literally have chest pains (very minor) because I miss him so much. Am I pathetic or what! You'd think that I'd be used to this by now after 6 years. Does this happen to anyone else?

Oh for sure. I was there yesterday and today it's like rats gnawing on my stomach. just nothing feels right.

I know exactly what you mean. I saw my man yesterday and today, yet as soon as I have to say goodbye its as though my heart just aches for him. The time in between each visit seems to drag, but for some reason it is so much worse during the nights when we've just seen each other.

You're definitely not alone.

Do I know about withdrawls?!?! Weeeeell after not seeing him for over a year and a half . . . yeap . . . I know AAAAALLL about that!!!! It's enough to drive you freakin' insane!!!!

You are most definitly not alone in this feeling. I get this too and not just after visits. I get it after a good phone call, or a loving and supportive letter. I feel like the whole world in coming down on top of me. I don't think any amount of time will lessen those feelings, in fact I think they get worse, when I see how far he has come (and the courts don't), when I think about how much he is missing out here, watching the kids grow up and all. Each day I fall more in love with him, so I reckon that feeling in here to stay. I just try to stay strong and hang on. I have never believed people when they say "it will get easier". Not trying to bring anyone down here, just the way it is when you love someone soooooo much! I can live with it, not ideal of course, but I love him to much to attempt it any other way.
Much Love

You are not the only one! When I get home after a visit it seems like I miss him even more than I did before I saw him! I hate that!

In this together 110% :cuffs:

Oh yeah! I understand the feeling. I have to agree it is worse the night after I leave. I get the feeling with phone calls and letters too. I just always want more. It is hard. I don't believe the saying it will get easier either. The more I fall in love with him, which is everyday, the harder it becomes. I know the feeling all too well.

As a man, I feel the exact same things all of you describe here after seeing my wife. I only get to see her once a month, but it's for four hours Sat. and four hours Sun. But the minute the clock starts to get within a half hour of the visit ending on Sunday I start missing her and I haven't even left. I know what's coming, four to five weeks of not being able to be with her. Yes, I am whipped. I love this woman, and she loves me. We didn't know each other on the outside, we have been married now for one year. She has about 6 years to go before parole eligibility, not release. So even then it's a crap shoot and most likely won't happen because they rarely release on the first go round with an agg sentence in Texas. We call it the PVB's Post Visit Blues. She rarely gets them, she gets them shortly before the visits, I get them right after or shortly before they even end as I said. I don't think it gets easier either. The love grows over time, gets stronger so the blues have to also get stronger. I pray for her release every night on her first parole eligibility. WE have one hope for early release, but we aren't holding our breath. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that goes through this. Women incarcerated must have fewer chances of visitors or something, plus there are fewer incarcerated, but at the units there is never a line for visitation as I hear and read about for the mens units. I wonder why that is? Maybe men won't wait for their women? If that's the case then that's a sad state of affairs. I feel lucky to have this woman as my wife I know that. I have been married twice prior, so I have done this before, but not with a woman in prison. She is the most honest person I have ever met. There has been nothing but truth between us. Early on I verified her story and all checked out, so why are men afraid of this committment? That's another post. Bottom line, I get the after visit blues too.

Withdrawals..boy Do I Ever Know What You Mean!!! I Havent Seen Terrance Since August And In March When I Am Able To See Him I Dont Know How Im Gonna Feel But It Has To Be Better Than This

When I leave, my heart aches after a visit, but also soars because i got to spend a day with him again... You often have feelings creep up when you least expect it. We are use to seeing each other every week, however, in the winter it is harder for us because of the weather, missed visits happen, and when they do I turn into a huge crybaby about it. They say it gets easier with time, I dont believe it will... for it to get easier, would mean I would have to love him less... It will never be easier to be away from the one you love with every ounce of your being... but you adapt and do what you must.... so, do i get withdrawls, visit withdrawls? Most definatly.... I miss him before i even leave him, and much of my schedule, my life, is based around visiting days. They are so very important to us both, and I am lucky my man is only 2 and a half hours away, there are so many others whom dont have the luxury of having their loved ones close enough to visit often, and my heart goes out to them, that would be very difficult.
Goose Bumps- I feel that it is a sad shame that many men wouldnt wait on their women, and also that women dont seem to get as many visits. I know without a doubt that your wife is a lucky lady to have you stand by her in all of this.... She has a long sentence, so does my significant other, however...one day, they will BOTH be home. Hang in there.....

I wish I could relate...cuz we cant visit each other...

How about withdrawals period! :) I can't take it.....drives me crazy!

He is my drug of choice and these withdrawals are making me lose my mind!

Yes, I do have withdrawals even though I cant see him...it gets really bad when the mail is slow cuz this is our only form of communication until he gets to medium custody.

Especially when the mail is slow babieboo! (((hugs)))

And I hate sundays...you know the mailman didnt bring me anything on Friday..not even a bill...

What bill? :) I didn't get my car note! I hate BILLS!?!?!

What good are Sundays? I am having withdrawals right now!

Me too...do you ever feel sick...like when I look at his picture..I feel sick in the heart cuz I miss him sooooo bad and I cant read over his letters either..I used to do it all the time but I cant right now.

Sometimes I do feel sick looking at pictures, but sometimes it makes me smile. It can go either way, but lately I've been missing him like never before!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes I can feel my heart breaking when I look at his pictures....it's not a sick feeling but kinda a longing for him. Ouch! It hurts too!

Well I read one of his old letters last night and I almost cried..and I put his picture back in my purse again..
