I Wanted to Let You Guys Know...
« on: June 26, 2018, 02:48:13 pm »
So I am going through a really rough time right now. I am going to be filling for divorce. So I'm looking for a new place to live for me and the kitties; I may have to stay at a women's shelter for awhile. My heart is breaking right now, but I'm doing what is best for me. Eventually I'll be moving back to Wisconsin. I just wanted to let you guys know. Thank you all for being so awesome and for making me feel at home here.

Oh no!!! So much change in your life recently -- the move to FL, the most recent house/apartment move, and now this. I hope everything turns out okay and just make sure you're taking care of yourself. If there's anything we can do, or if you ever need to vent, we're here for you.

I want to thank you guys so much for the support!

I came to decision last night. So my work offers 5 free counseling sessions. I want us to use those before I make any kind of rash decision. Also, after calming down, I think with some communication my marriage can be saved. Something happened a few days ago that had me really upset and I've been holding in my feelings for months. I had a "This is the last straw!" moment. I will also admit my depression has been acting up and the last 2 days were the first time I talked to anyone about how I've been feeling. Also, the thing I regret the most with my first marriage is I never did any counseling. I don't want to have any regrets.

I want to thank you all for being here for me and I will definitely keep you all updated. Thank you so much!! *hugs for everyone!*

EDIT I just had to let you know chrono.source that I love the comic! That made me laugh!

Glad you're staying strong. Regardless of how things pan out, we're here for you. Free counseling sessions are great; just made sure you get one that aligns with your worldviews to a degree (for example, don't go to a Bible-thumping marriage counselor if you don't prescribe to the Bible -- a mistake I made once upon a time).

As for holding in your feelings and having some onset depression...

Depression can and (likely) will kill relationships around you. It's not all just down in the dumps like the Cymbalta commercial will tell you; depression can have flares of anger, confusion, loneliness, and isolation. I had all of those, and the anger one surprised me. I was so down in the trenches of despair that the simplest things could make me angry, upset, or discouraged. There were times I lashed out in anger at those who were supposed to be my support system and other times I closed the doors on relationships that had zero reason to close the doors on.

Long story short, depression - even in the short term - can be devastating. Make sure you leverage counseling for yourself and not just the marriage. The two both play a role in your mental (and physical) health, and you gotta take care of yourself!

I will definitely keep that in mind. Thank you!

Yeah, depression sucks. I know I need to start taking better care of my mental health, this is the first step in doing so. I've been fighting going back on medication, but maybe I need to. When we see the counselor, I'll see what they suggest.

Thank you so much for all your help!

Thank you! Things are going better and I don't want to regret making a rash decision like I did the first time. There's no rush, I can take my time. I'm so grateful for everyone here!

I'm a little late to the conversation, but hang in there! Everything will work out one way or the other, and it sounds like you're doing the best you can to work through it.  I hope things continue to get better!

Thank you! Things are getting better but I'm also trying my best to be more understanding. Right now his workplace is being a bunch of asshats and that doesn't help. It takes 2, so I'm trying to be a better wife too.

Thank you so much for chiming in!
