    About Me

    Being "taken to the cleaners" by the STBX. He was emotionally abusive during the marriage, now he's abusing me financially. I pretty much have lost my will to live. Hanging on only by a thread now. Once the axe falls, I doubt I will survive.

    Interests

    None anymore. There's no point.

    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Emotionally abused by my STBX for nearly 10 years. He is very insecure and has low self-esteem, so his way of making himself feel important was to pound the people he claimed to love into the ground emotionally by belittling, bullying, pushing, manipulating, attacking our self-worth.

      Treatments

      Forgiveness Considering
      I would forgive him if he would only stop abusing me.
      Leave Not Working
      We separated last March and he's still controlling me by not allowing the divorce.
      Talking Not Working
      "Our" friends think he's great. They don't want to hear me talk bad about him so they avoid me.
    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      First diagnosed with depression about 15 years ago. Been doing well for the last 5 years or so until now. I can feel it creeping back.

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      I took 1 pill. HORRIBLE side effects! Never again.
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      Can't really get my mind to shut up. I also have ADD.
      Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
      Puhleeese....
      Prozac Working / Worked

      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Too expensive. Besides, one hour a week?... come on!
      Support from Friends & Family Not Working
      A good bout of depression will make 99.9% of family and friends run for the hills.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Fewer side effects than anything else.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I do this even when I'm not depressed. It's become a way of life.
      Zoloft Somewhat Helpful
      Quit working after a while.
