How to stop the pain!

[PMC1986]

So i have done a stupid thing and got involved with someone at work.

I have been married for 4 months and this was the worst mistake i have ever made in my life.

My wife has moved out today, i got diagnosed with anxiety and depression yesterday. I am in an area no where near my family or friends and now in a house on my own. I dont know what do where to turn or how to get her back. Any advice would be much appreciated. I know i have done wrong and probably dont deserve any help and it could be something i need to sort out myself but dont know where to turn or what to do?

Hello PMC1986 and welcome to our Community.

I cannot help with how you go about getting your wife of 4 months back. That will depend on how your wife feels about your marriage when you talk to her.

However we can offer support to you. I see you were diagnosed with anxiety and depression yesterday. If you were prescribed anti-depressants then please be aware they can take a good 4-6 weeks to take effect. Read the leaflet that comes with your tablets, it may include a comprehensive list of side effects. Do not be put off by the list just be aware in case you experience any side effects.

Somehow you will have to find a way to go to work and do the everyday tasks we all do. You may find this difficult because your mind will be so preoccupied with all that has happened. Also your anxiety and depression may affect your motivation to complete daily tasks. Take one day at a time at the moment and look after yourself as best you can.

Are you able to talk to family or friends for some support? I know this will have to be by telephone but I think it is important you have someone to talk this through with if you can.

We are always here to support you in any way we can. Please keep in touch and take care,
