Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
It has been almost six months since my X left a note and left in the middle of the night. I'm getting worse rather than better. I don't know how to get past this overwhelming grief and loneliness and constant crying. My anxiety and depression are getting worse and I just feel so lost. All I do is think about him and miss him and get urges to call him.
I just finished six weeks as an outpatient at the hospital for therapy (rather than doing inpatient), but now Im in waiting for, who knows how long, for the depression group and then an anxiety group. I feel like I cant take this anymore. I am paralyzed with fear, anxiety, depression and grief.
When does this grief pass??? I have been reading a bit about grief and for some it takes 1-2 years. My counselor (who I dont think I have anymore) said that around six months it can get bad. I guess as more of the reality that they are gone sinks in. I feel like I cant go on anymore.

I've been trying to read the book On Grief and Grieving, but it is hard to do when I feel this way.
I know I haven't gone through all the stages either. I think I'm like you, denial to anger to denial. I've been bouncing them around for all this time. I spent the first few months still in shock.
You are right everyone grieves different.
