I've been there Sunny, and I agree divorce to me is worse than death. I'd be happy to chat with you online anytime, feel free to email me. I've now been divorced four years and have just found forgiveness for my ex. He went out of his way to be cruel and make me hate him. Although I have found forgiveness I'm not so sure I have really moved on. I haven't been on one date since my divorce. Sometimes I think I want to then other times I'm not sure. I have major self esteem issues. I hope it helps you to know you're not a lone even though it may feel that way. Take Care. Imagine me giving you a hug and not letting go until you are ready for me ot let go. May God bless you.

My divorce instigated my first serious bout of depression. It was, at the time, the worst emotional experience for me, ever. It took a long time to get through the process, and the state of limbo was the worst. When something life-changing like this happens, it always brings up old unresolved issues as well. You are probably having to deal with some of that, too.

    We seem to be getting a number of people, new members and people who don't seem to be bipolar either telling people to use "treatments" other than meds, implying meds aren't needed or that you can add further chemical based treatments (like herbal suppliments bought on the net) without discussing it first with a pharmacist, doctor or other proper medical practitioner.Jan and I are extremely...

    What would YOU do if you won the lottery? If I won I would find a program or place that treats the WHOLE body, not just with chemicals or talk therapy, to find a mental health regimen that would FINALLY work for me. I would work to get off of my meds altogether. (Years and years of taking meds that don't help have left me frustrated and fairly angry.) Treatment for mental illness is not for the...
