major depression

[raisin44]

I have had depression most of my life. It has gotten worse, major depressive disorder now. I got a divorce last December and I still love my ex. The roller coaster of emotions is horrible. Upset stomach, worry, tired, nervous, anxious, doom, crying, can’t sleep, restless, racing thoughts. My ex cheated on me at least 4 times in our 36 years together. My dr. Has tried several medications on me, nothing working yet. I even admitted myself into a psychiatric ward because I couldn’t handle all of the feelings. They kept me for a week then sent me on my way. Has anyone here been in this deep depression and if so how did you get out?

Yes. I got divorced on December 12 a long time ago. I too divorced someone I love. First it is going to hurt like a MF. The thing to keep in mind is that you need to keep a balance in what direction you think about the divorce. It is easy to remember or romanticize the past so remember it all, cry it out and do your best to let it go. try to stay busy, do things you enjoy and try some new things. You can be whoever you want to be now. Don't contact him for random things it just draws out the pain for you not him. Find you feet and stand strong. You are a powerful woman, remember THAT! I had a friend help me go from a puddle to my feet and then she helped me find my growl. Tap into the primitive part of your brain- hypothalamus. When you are alone- growl, howl, scream be free and then practice saying "F..k You!" Get it strong. It really helped me as I don't like to curse. I barely said it and laughed and covered my face so my friend Faith kept on me until I could say it loud and like I meant it. I let out a bunch of festering anger and it was shocking how good that felt. Wake up your survival instincts. I hope this is helpful.- RA.
