seperated and depressed and alone

I had been married for 28 years and on my 28 anniversary my husband decided he did not want to be married anymore, and left, he said there was Ielse but hey within a month he is living with someone else. My kids are grown and out of the house so it is just me my dog and cat.I am currently fixing up the house to sell it I don't want to sell but have no choice. Everyday I think about just ending it all and the pain will go away. Take some pills and go to bed. Has anybody else out there been this way and how long did it take for the feelings to go away don't know how much longer I can take it. It has been 4 months now. Been to Doc's and he just gives me pills to sleep with to help get through the day with . I feel i am just a druggy and depressed and alone and nobody in my family knows how I feel

I have been where you are. try to see a counselor. you are going through a grieving process and it is very important for you to talk to someone about what you are going thorugh. when a marriage ends it is like a death and we have to go through the grieving and its ok to grieve. and grieve for as long as you like.No body cna tell how to long to grieve. and even though my ex is a butt and I have been married to my 2nd hubby for 22 years I still grieve for my first marriage.its there on the back shelpf in my mind but I have moved on with my life although it took time.
you too will go on with your life  you are a special and wonderful person and there is a purpose for you.
     see about coauseling and in the meantime exercise like a brisk wal,Keep a journal and stay busy. this will raise your seritonin and help you to feel better.
you are in my prayers.

I feel like that too. I have alot of animals and makes me sick if I have to let them go that is why i stay and I don't want to go in a hospital. I am hpnotised and I don't know who Michael is because he won't tell me. My mother is in on it to and won't tell me. That is her third strike against me so she is now out of my so called life. My favorite Christmas song is little drummer boy. I am very confused and CNN, Lou Dobbs,TJ , Dr. Gupta, Heide Collins, all of them and they won't stop. Everyone is playing games with me and I am at the end of my rope. I can't do this anymore. They are laughing, but I am bnot. I feel worst and worst everyday,

talk to people about your situation, isolation is terrible, and you are the only one that can help yourself.

I am sure there are alot of us out there who feel the same way that you do. You have got to open up to your family and your children. Kids can be such a great strength to us, and we have no idea. I have been severely depressed for the past two years and cannot take it anymore. I am forcing myself to get out more, go for drives, joining a church, etc. I heard somewhere recently that the hurt never goes away unless WE change! Good luck to you and please do not do anything to hurt yourself, I know that holidays are a stressful time but no man is ever worth that! Please let me know how you are doing.
