I filed for divorce 2 mos. ago, so utrly thankful for my "second chance" at life..I don't take that lightly. I was doing so great, so utterly happy to be afforded the chance to be free of the bondage of the marriage I was in, felt like I had grown and metamorphosized into something so very much stronger, self-assured..and then I hit a wall. I feel as though I have been cut off at the knees..is it normal to be so overwhelmingly impacted by the anguish that you feel as though you are going crazy and you desperately want to hide from the world? I am 3 years old, hiding and quivering under the covers..fear has hit..is this normal? Someone, please help, I'm drowning..
Hi Truedancer, from my own experience and that of close friends and family who have gone through divorce, it is so normal to go on a bit of a roller coaster ride of emotions. I remember the feeling of freedom, I wanted to scream it from the rooftop, I was on top of the world and then all of a sudden I went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. It wasn't for very long, but I allowed myself to feel those emotions and go through them in a healthy way; there's was lots of crying and I got it all out of my system. I know that this will pass for you and you will start to climb back up. Please know that we are here for you, here to support you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! It's so maddening to be so vulnerable, you know? Never knew how little permission I gave myself to be weak. Ae good thing to be aware of so that I can learn to accept myself on a new level..wow, good stuff!!!!!!
i am male and also just got left. the pain of divorce is consuming me. it has been six weeks since she has left. so yes the pain and suffering is still fresh. i just don't know how much more of this i can take. if not for my three year old son i would have probably lost it. help please.
Hi buddy, so glad you reached out. I had to take 6 sick days the day our temporary orders were executed..home today as well because I am not sleeping and feel like my brain is malfunctioning. Can I ask you to do something? Tell me, what does this situation make you think you want in the future? Tell me, what do you want to see happen?
It's been about 3 months since I filed for separation and 1 month since I moved out. Even having to communicate with him still makes me feel ill. We have accomplished nothing since I moved out.After talking to a friend who went through this she told me I was in the head spinning stage, where everything was overwhelming and I felt like it was just impossible to do or accomplish anything I wanted to. It didn't matter whether it was with any relationship,work or the divorce. Even though I'm still at that stage I have been told it does go away. I'm just hoping thats sooner than later. Just know you are not alone. It's my first dayin thiss group and already I am finding comfort. Thank you.
