Close Breakups & Divorce

On 4/15/07, I discovered that the man I had been with for 22 years, and married to for 18 of those years, had been having an affair with some loser woman for the past year-and-a-half. I practically all alone in this world - he was my everything - and I am a complete & total wreck in desperate need of support (face-to-face or phone, if possible, as I am really too depressed to sit at a computer & read & write much).

Treatments

BuSpar Not Working

This BuSpar stuff, for me, was a bunch of crap! I went back to my Xanax. It keeps me somewhat stable, numb, and gets me to sleep, so I can't worry about the adverse effects right now - I need the stuff to get me through!

Pets Working / Worked

My two Yorkies are a Godsend - the unconditional love & companionship they provide me with is what keeps me going. Without them, I'd be up shit's creek without a paddle.

Prozac Somewhat Helpful

Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful

I am seeing a social worker twice per week, and am on antidepressants & antianxiety meds from a pyschiatrist.

Reading Working / Worked

"A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle. This book has totally transformed me into a much more positive person. AMAZING!

Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful

My friends try, but they don't, and can't possibly understand or relate. Family is basically non-existent.

Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful

Xanax Working / Worked

Thank goodness for this stuff! I hate that I have to take it, but it's the only thing that holds me together at the seams.
