Hi MattI’m sorry to hear that your anxiety is high and I know the feeling since I’m a sufferer too. The good part is you miss your wife and grandson assuming that you all are together. I’m on meds for my anxiety and I hope you can go to the doctor for help since that was the only way I could survive !

I’m not kidding when I say survive cause mine is so awful that I had suicidal thoughts. If your is mild I had tried exercise, breathing exercises and journaling. But none of this helped so I finally saw a psychiatrist and thank God I am now able to function much better. Only you can tell if you need to get professional help. Don’t give up because I know there is help out there. Take care of yourself

Thank you for the kind words I am separated from wife she thought it would be best to work our mental health issues out in separate homes with no contact been a month now I’m in therapy and on anti anxiety and depression meds just feel very alone and scared.

It’s understandable that you feel so alone but it could be best to have some distance for awhile. But it’s hard being alone if your not used to it. Maybe you can schedule a certain time each week to talk and see your grandson

Hey Matt

Do u guys have a set time like how long u have decided to come back together?Yo story has hope. Many have divorced but yours has hope. Hope is a powerful thing even though separation is sad on its own, u still have her heart coz she also wants to work things out with u. Day after day this is going to be hard but the end is near...

Thank you for reaching out, and yes hope is all I have right now, but it is better than nothing, she didn’t set any time limit on it and I just want to abide by her wishes with no contact I don’t want to make matters worse she did tell me a month ago before I left that time makes the heart grow fonder, I try to remember this, thank you for giving me hope it means everything to me.

Just keep us updated. We want to know how u are feeling and we know it is not easy. I think as long as u abide by her rules atleast in the meantime, she will think that u are getting better as well.

[Matt_S in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Zoom that’s what I’m thinking also, and I will keep you posted thanks for being there.

[Matt_S in reply to Hidden]

I just read this and you are absolutely right it is slowly and i mean slowly getting a little better but we have such a long way to go, thank you for the kind words.

[Matt_S]

I don’t want to drive by the house because I would be going against her wishes of not seeing or talking with one another for a while, I think it would be showing her that I’m trying to push my way back in and I don’t want to send that message to her

Hi Matt. I am so sorry to hear that you are separated from your wife and grandson. Please stay safe. I think you seem like such a nice person. I wish you well and if you don't mind, I will pray for you. Good night.

[Matt_S in reply to Hidden]

Thank you very much for the kind words and prayers I’m doing better today

[Matt_S]

Hello good to hear from you, my wife and I have our own issues that we are trying to work on

[Matt_S]

I thought it was a new post

[Matt_S]

I’m ok I guess, for now I get to stay at home on weekends it’s up and down, she says I don’t love her and I do with all my heart and my grandson too. How have you been?
