    • Close Infidelity

      My husband starting having telephone conversation with another woman over a five month period of time.

      Treatments

      Couples Counseling Somewhat Helpful
      Crying Too Soon to Tell
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Prayer Working / Worked
      In the beginning of my crisis, I cried out to God from the bottom of my soul. I tried to depend on Him and to seek refuge through prayer. At first, it seemed as if He didn't hear my prayers. Later, I realized that thou it seemed as if the Lord was standing afar off - he was always a very present help.
    • Close Anxiety

      On December 5th, I found out that my husband had been conversing with a young lady fifteen years younger than him. This began after a car accident and he had to go to a chiropractor for therapy. This young lady works at the chiropractor's office. The "relationship" was only phone conversation, but it went from just a few talks a week to a few talks each day (morning, noon, and night). Though there was no dating or physical relationship, it consumed me like a cancer.

      Treatments

      Ativan Somewhat Helpful
      I was unable to eat, sleep, and basically function for more than a month.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      Prayer, reading the Word (bible), daily devotion, and journaling are my sources of strength during this difficult time. They help me to keep things in the proper perspective ~ though at times I miss the mark.
    • Open Depression

      I just found out that my husband was sleeping with another woman. This was after thinking that we were working things out. I had forgiven and fallem back in love with him. Now he says that he doesn't want to be married any more and I'm completely devastated. I can't eat, sleep, and am completely consumed with him/the relationship-not good. I'm seeking help to accept what I haven't been able to accept and to pull myself up from the place I'm in - severely depressed!

      Treatments

      Zoloft Considering
      Just met with a psychotherapist yesterday and she recommended talking to my doctor about taking an antidepressant.
