About Me
I am getting ready to go through a divorce after 13 years of marriage, but was with him for almost 20 years. I have been diagnosed with Depression and Fibromyalgia. I would like to make some new friends to help support me through a very painful time. I have suffered through 4 deaths in my immediate family this year and with the divorce added to it I am feeling a little raw.

Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI'm 37 years old and was diagnosed with depression about 7 years ago. I have made two attempts at suicide (Thank God they failed) and I also suffer from Fibromyalgia. I will be going through a divorce within the very near future and am trying to deal with that as well. I have a very loving and supportive family and have really tried to turn to my faith to give me strength recently.

Close Breakups & Divorce
I've been married for 13 years and with the same man for nearly 20 years. After going through the pain of 4 deaths in my immediate family this year, my husband told me he had never been "head over heels" in love with me and that he was unhappy. I'm now preparing myself for a life alone and am very scared. He has supported me for the last 3 years due to me not being able to work. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Depression.

- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked

- Talking Working / Worked
- Talking things through with others makes me more confident in the choices I have made or will need to make.
- Time Too Soon to Tell
- Am in beginning stages of divorce/separation.
Open Loneliness
I'm 37 and my husband just decided that after nearly 20 years together that he wants a divorce. My "best" friend betrayed me to him by repeating things I told her to him. So, I've distanced myself from her. She was my only "true" friend. I have many acquaintances, but no one I genuinely trust with all my "stuff".
Treatments
- Reading Working / Worked
- I read a lot! It allows me to escape from my own mind. I take great comfort in reading my bible but also enjoy true crime suspense science fictionfantasy and certain nonfiction titles.
