I have a lot of problems with issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, co-denpendency, insecurity but I think my main issue is abandoment. And when the abandoment feelings come, it triggers all the other issues. I don't have any idea of what caused this or when but it seems to have been a always part of my life. The first major episode occured after my divorce. I could not stop crying, could not stop the pain. I saw several doctors, therapists, spent time on the mental ward. I even had a suicide attempt. My life is littered with broken relationships, multiple jobs lost to my mental health and there is seldom a day that goes by without thinking of suicide. I have been trying to call my sons but they are not returning my calls and it has me in a terrible downward spiral. As I mentioned I have seen many professionals but no one has brought up the abandoment issue before this. I am not looking to find a cause for my problems or looking for someone to blame. I'm interested in hearing how others deal with this problem.
