Dealing with this fear alone
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
Anyone else here know how to deal with gong through all this fear alone? I am in the process of getting divorced and am living in the back room of my dad's house. I am essentially all alone. When I was in the hospital the only person who came to be with me was a guy from work. My BP has been very good lately, still sitting at 130's/80's. I am just afraid of being alone, and I am sure that is contributing to so much of my anxiety.

" Just hang in there. Went through a divorce myself many years ago. I had 3 children and ended up dealing with cancer on top of everything else. Today, I am much better off and my children are happy. It seems hard right now, but God will help you find your way. "

" I happen to be the divorce Queen! 2 of my own...helped my sister thru 2 of hers and my current husband thru his (IT WAS MESSY TOO!). Its not fun, I even ended up with rot gut from my second which i wouldnt advise by the way. I woke up with a glass of wine and by dinner the bottle was empty..did that for a year or so after we split up. I didnt have any children with either of my ex's so I think that made it easier than it would have been. That is also when my BP shot up! when my 2nd ex started cheating that is. You just gotta pick yourself up, dust off and get it together so you can be ready for the next relationship. You want to have something to offer that person and you cant do that if your still upset about the last one. You will find that it wasnt meant to be for whatever reason and adapt. Being alone is better than being with someone who doesnt want you and is bad for you. I learned that the hard way. Best of luck, hang in there. Heather "
