    About Me

    I am a 31 yr French Immersion teacher from Vancouver, BC. I am separated from my husband for 5 months. I did not want this. He thinks I am the most wonderful woman he has ever met but believes we're not meant for each other. Still hoping he might come around but trying to move on and heal in the future.

    Interests

    Dance, reading, hiking, enjoying the city, pets and friends. I have no kids but a sweet kitty who runs to greet me everytime I get in :)

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      My hubby of three years (together for 6), told me that our marriage was over. One hard lesson I've learned is that you cannot change anyone's thoughts or feelings. I am also being treated for clinical depression. Finally off Paxil.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Not Working
      He is going but says he's doing it to help me and for him to learn how to have healthy relationships in the future. Had one session together today, and will have another in February.
      Paxil Not Working
      Supposed to help me with anxiety and depression but made me feel worse. Paxil made me crazy. Off Paxil now for a few months. That stuff just was nasty and did not vibe with me at all.
      Pets Working / Worked
      Love my sweet cat. Would feel more desperately lonely without her.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      my counsellor is so good and understanding. I am grateful to have this resource but I'm sad that it's private and that many people in this situation ca not afford it.
      Reading Somewhat Helpful
      Gets my mind off it (even though he's always in the back of my mind). Like an "easy" read in my spare time now.
      Remeron Too Soon to Tell
      Makes me sleep really well. I think it has taken the edge off the depression. It is supposed to make me gain weight (I was always underweight to begin with and have lost almost 20 pounds since he left), but have not had any success with that yet.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      I don't know what I would have done without my friends.
      Support Groups Working / Worked
      You guys are helping so much. I have joined a support group of divorced and separated people in my city and it is invaluable to be able to connect with people who truly understand the pain.
      Talking Working / Worked
      My friends are wonderful listening and giving me advice, similar experiences etc.
      Time Not Working
      Not working yet. HOW MUCH TIME???????
