Congrats on your new life as a single woman. :P
Little Love
Yes, either I never knew him, and that prospect terrifies me, because it implies that this could happen again, or he changed, and people do. Altho they don't always slide down the sewer when they change, but he did. Either way, he is gone and zI have to find a way to live with that. I am hopeful about the antidepressants.

High Five
Thanks so much.... I just started anti-depressants a coupla days ago...... seems like it may help, spending much less time crying..... I am aware that the man he is now is hardly worth my tears, but the person he was/appeared to be for SO many years..... I just grieve and grieve for him. But that man is.....gone. I have to learn to accept that.....

Support Groups
Close Anxiety
I have suffered with anxiety attacks for over 10 years. In the early years I suffered silently. Later I discussed my symptoms and am under treatment.
Treatments
- Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
- These do help when you feel an axiety attack coming on or just need to calm down.
- BuSpar Not Working
- I tried this once and it did not help me.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- These worked great, but I was concerned about the addictive side affects, so I did not take them for long.
- Effexor Working / Worked
- This has been the best treatment so far. It has virtually ended my panic attacks and restored my life.
Close Breakups & Divorce
I have been married for 20 years and seperated for 4 mths now. My husband has cheated on me several times over our marriage and I finally decided to end it. It has been very hard so far.
Treatments
- Forgiveness Too Soon to Tell
- I would love to be able to forgive him and somehow be friends after all this, just don't know when or if that will happen.
- Pets Working / Worked
- My dog is my friend no matter what!
- Psychotherapy Considering
- I am thinking about this. Will depend on how I do after a little time.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- They want to help and want the best for me but they can't always understand how I feel.
- Time Too Soon to Tell
- I am counting on this one!
Open Infidelity
Married 20 years. Husband has cheated many times and I have forgiven him. This time he wants to leave for good.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Considering
- We talked about doing this but didn't actually go yet. Don't think it will work because everything I have read say the cheating spouse must end their outside relationship and he won't do that.
- Divorce Considering
- Not yet ready to take this final step.
- Forgiveness Somewhat Helpful
- It only worked for a short time. It could be a years or months, but always has happened again.
- Leave Too Soon to Tell
- Have been separated for 4 months now...
