Deployment anxiety

Hi ladies, my partner had only been in since Feb last year and has got his first deployment dates for next year. We have a baby (he will have just turned one) and I am already having anxiety attacks about how I'll cope when he goes. I'm a ftm and have had mental health issues previously, is this normal with 8 months still to go or could this be a bit of PPA? Any advice would be amazing
