Long periods of isolation like this are really hard the first time you go through it. Having gone through this many times I can honestly say you learn to adjust like it were a change in seasons.

The hardest part of isolation, though, is the complete inability for somebody who has never experienced it to relate or appreciate the changes it imposes upon people.

Dude. Seems you didn't have it easy.

Also, I'm curious as to why you have been through this several times?

Military deployments and military schools. My first one of these that I count was my first deployment in 2004 because my first kiddo was 4 months old.
