I’m in the early stages of separation and divorce now and I’m feeling isolated. I haven’t told many of my friends yet although I feel that our neighbors are getting a one-sided story from my wife. I was in a partial hospitalization program and I have a psychiatrist and a therapist that I’m meeting with regularly and they’ve been very supportive.

I’m finding it helpful distracting myself with some shows with emotional resonance while I’m taking time off from work — I watched Ted Lasso and found the parts about divorce and relationships to be helpful, especially seeing examples of different kinds of masculinity and camaraderie. Now I’m watching Shrinking and finding it helpful processing my emotions.

Any shows or books that folks found helpful?
