About Me
I am a 38 year old white male who has just gone through a divorce. I have a 4 and one year old as well. I did not want the divorce and now I am in a deep depression and seeking mental health professionals. This has not helpd me as I am very scared and alone. I miss my routine so much with my kids and am afraid I can't make it on my own in every which way. Can you help me?

Close Life After Divorce
I have been divorced since last january and I miss my home and children very much. I have gone through depresion resulting in obsessive thoughts about suicide although I really don't want to do it. I alreadt have OCD and now it's rearing it's ugly head with these thoughts. It is every other minute and won't go away. What can I do?
Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Hello my name is brett and I am 39 years old. I live in Lakewood, Ohio. I have suffered from OCD for more than 20 years. I haven't had an obsessive thought though in 9 years until my divorce last January when I was forced to leave my children and home. I haven't been the same since.I once again am experiencing obsessive thoughts and my medication and therapy are not helping.I am scared to death and feel as though I am just hanging on. I hope I can get some support from someone on here. Thanks!
Treatments
- Luvox Not Working
- no success at all on this medication.maybe I didn't enough of a chance though as I took it for approximately 5 weeks.
- Paxil Not Working
- Other than contributing to me gaining 15 lbs. I felt no relief of OCD or depression.
- Seroquel Too Soon to Tell
- Just started tonight 12-27-08. I am hopeful and crossing my fingers that it will help clear my mind.
- Prozac Working / Worked
- I was on prozac for 20 years and i believ it helped my OCD to an extent. I came off of it when things recently got worse.
Open Depression
I don't see my kids everyday and I no longer have my home. devastated. I have gone to therapy and tried different meds. The medication in particular has not helped and I am going back this week to continue to tweek it to find some type of relief. I have obsessive thoughts off and on and feel like I am fighting two battles; the divorce and the symptoms that have come with it. I really want to feel mentally and emotionally stable again but most times I feel as though I'm just hanging on.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Too Soon to Tell
- I'm not sure if it is really helping as I still feel bad. I have taken it for about one month now.
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- I try but it never lasts.
- Prozac Working / Worked
- I took this drug for 19 years to combat my OCD. I believe it did give relief. I'm not sure why I am no longer on it.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- It helps when I am there but soon after I begin to feel bad and confused again.
- Seroquel Not Working
- Hate it! major tiredness and a feeling like I woke up with a hangover everyday that lasted throughout the day. Stopped taking it recently.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- Once again, it helps for the moment but doesn't last. I feel alone.
