Hello

I would like to say hello to everyone in the community. I am new here. I am two weeks into the actual process of getting a divorce and am completely lost and befuddled, angry, scared, and sick all day long. I have lost 25 pounds in 2 months (and actually look better) and cannot sleep. My wife and I have 2 children, and thankfully we are doing this amicably. Shes been getting emotionally prepared for this for the past 9 months while this has hit me like a freight train by surprise. Not that I didn't know we were having difficulties, but that she had been deliberately shutting me out of her life on all levels so she could reach this point.

I'd appreciate any and all thoughts and suggestions about anything because I am really, really lost.

Welcome. This is a great place and you'll find tons of support throught the ups and downs. Your story sounds similar to mine. Lost a bunch of weight, can't sleep, don't want this. I can't say its gotten much better for me but there are tons of people that say it does. I'm still waiting. So in the meantime, you have a friend waiting with you!

That train has hit a couple of us here. I wish I had the magic words for you, but the truth there is going to be a lot of "stuff" to go through. Welcome aboard.

welcome--I wish I had this site when I was going through my divorce. I am post divorce--it's been a year and all I can say is hold on b/c you are in for a ride. Some days will be beeter than others but in the end, things will be okay. There are some great people here. You are not alone in this.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
