Last saturday night I was emotionally drained, and severely depressed. I took a handful of sleeping pills after my pos stbx pushed one to many of my buttons. After taking the pills, I knew in my heart it was a BIG mistake so I drove myself to the hospital & was prepared for whatever came next. What came next was a 48hr hold on a "voluntary basis" at a pych facility. Most people's first 24 hrs on that floor are scary, I found it peaceful. There were group sessions 4 times a day and MANY people to talk to & with 24/7. During my stay, I was a sponge, taking in all the info & advice given. The food is not so good but ... it's edible. I learned that my feeling lazy, being fatigued all the time, staying in bed, not eating, not conversing, & not being able to hold a thought in my head, and isolating myself has a name ... clinical depression!!!
My last 24hrs were sad because not only had I made many new friends but also that I knew I would be returning to the same surroundings. Well I am now home & see things in a complete different light. I will see a psychiatrist once a month, Therapist once a week and attend an outpatient therapy group 3 times a week in addition have joined DivorceCare which meets once a week and found a Care-Giver outreach program.
Depression subsides & peaks but will NOT just go away.
NO BODY'S situation is worth doing something irreversible
Please go to the closest hospital and get yourself help you need !!!!!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
It is a terrible desease, many of people experience it during this time of spouse separation, but I would bet it has happend before to most.
Normally I am a happy, fun loving well liked guy. But that black cloud can still hover. It is next to impossible to remove it without help. Cathi you did a great job getting help, not only did it save your life, it will help you recognize the downward turn as you progress through life.
Way to go, and this post is inspirational.
