I agree.  I guess it's not what happens to us in life that matters but how we deal with it.

My therapist would say it takes two to keep you hanging like that -one to do it and one to allow it.
I kind of feel the same but in my relationship with the mhs.  They said they would provide a specific intervention but over a year later it's in the process of happening but still hasn't eventuated.  I guess at various times it leaves me feeling angry and frustrated and powerless.  It also leaves me feeling inadequate and worthless.  If I were assertive I would not allow someone, anyone, to treat me like this.  I feel needy and that creates a lot of self-doubt.
I think what we want is sometimes not what we need.  Maybe we just need an aspect of it (like the relationship or the support).

When someone you trust betrays that trust it can leave you feeling violated.

I guess TV provides a sort of connection to the rest of the world.

Spending, working, eating, watching TV, etc while they help for a short period they only mask the real issues.

I'm not sure I would advise buying meds over the internet (not unless they came from a very reputable source).  Is probably not a good idea to self-medicate either.

Many social services make it difficult or uncomfortable for people seeking help to receive it.  Often it is the very people who need their support that they drive away.

I think to many people that comment would seem distasteful.  Women also aren't objects but people.  I personally find that quite offensive and that's irrespective of being married or not.

You say that money is an issue and that you could get a job.  Would you consider getting a job?

I think your health should be your priority.  I think without good health it is difficult to function (to work, to fight for your family, to focus on your education, etc).

There is support out there you just need to find it and access it.

What you need is a therapist any way you can get one.  Some of us just don't take breakups well.  You're not just sad about it, you've developed depression over it, or perhaps you already had it and this is just exacerbating it.  Only time will heal this, but I'm sure you know that.  I also have had a difficult time with breakups all my life, despite knowing that each time I eventually meet someone else.  You often will never find out why a relationship broke up -- I've been through that a couple of times.  So what you need to work on isn't the broken relationship, because there's no understand that, it's why your reaction to it is so incapacitating.  That's what you need to work on, since life is always going to be throwing crap at all of us.

No both of us did not want the divorce. I in no way wanted one. she left me over a year age and has kept me on hold, making me believe I could fix things. I trusted her in every way, anhd know she lies about everything or when she cant she just hangs up on me or starts yelling. About evrything. My mariage was very important to me, but what has happened is I was strong and happy b4 and slowly over the past year has consumed me. I went from working 60-70 hrs a week with no problem to I havent worked a day in 4months. I need a job and could get one but i just sit here and do nothing. I used to watch alot of TV now its never turned off because i cant stand the silence but for the past several months ive realised i never whatch it. its 6 feet in front of me.  and i never have a clue whats on because every minute of the day im thinking about her and my son. i buy stuff i dont need just to distract me but nothing does. .Im not sure what defines anxiety but I hurt stress and worry nonstop evey day im lucky if i sleep 4hrs a night and used to sleep good. My doctor isnt vey helpful he is expensjve and im pretty sure he just thinks im out for pills which is rediculous. I have back problems, had for ten years. I take Tramadol which is a non-narcotic pain medicine and he treats it like oxycontin. Im not sure whats wrong MRI cost way more than i can afford, but i have constant pain and have paid alot to see him several times (never once asked for a pain med). but to get my medicine each month is almost impossible. not much of an issue now that i dont do anything and cant sleep anyways( I have never once asked for a real pain med) my point is when i got the prozac he gave me 30 kalonapin, I took them when i felt real bad and they seem to help, but I payed $80 dollars to discuss this with him and he told me no way that was a one time deal. I payed alot of money for marriage counseling and my doctor and both were worthless. I can buy kalonapin on the internet but its pretty expensive and im not sure its legal. It ***** when u cant do things the right way and see a doctor, but you can click online and get what ever you want. i dont have the money to get another doctor or even go back to the one I have. I moved to springfield Mo. for school and i dont know where to get help for free and dont really think they would if i did. I tried to get food stamps and somehow the federal school loans that i dont see a dime of make me ineligable. The paper they sent said if i had questions to call, I did because i need food and cant even get a call back no matter how many times i call. The world revolves around money and if you dont have it people wont help you. I dont have any, i have put everything into fighting just for visitaion. My wife manipulates me still my family says just get over and move on, and my friends say the best way to get over one women ix to climb on top of another, which a year ago would have been amusing but now i think it a disguting statement and is horrible to say to someone that still values there marriage. One thing is for sure its gona get worse because ot the custody battle, and i cant take much worse.

The information can be accessed through a persons profile and other posts.

It's not something I usually do as I had an expert read my history and it left me feeling violated.  I was intrigued by Brad's comments and I think there was an invitation there.

I don't know where Jaquta got all of this additional information, but if this is about you, then you should certainly see a psychiatrist immediately, and also ask the psychiatrist or your doctor for some immediate help with the pain you are experiencing, and it may be something like klonopin if anxiety is the major component.

Hi.
I don't think the answer is to mask your emotions but can understand why you would want too when things feel so overwhelming.

Prozac can make some people feel suicidal.  It may be the med which is contributing to making you feel so lousy.

Is divorce what you both wanted when you both are left feeling depressed?

I understand that finances are an issue but there are options available to you despite those restrictions.  Someone in the States would be better able to advise.

My advice would be to go to the hospital and speak to a psychiatrist.

If you can't do it for yourself then do it for your son.  My cousin killed himself at the end of last year and it has really scarred his family.  Don't do that to your kid.

I don't think that you should wait for this forum expert to respond to your post before getting help.  I think you should get it now.
