You’ll find lots of good advice here, one thing you can do that will get immediate results is exercise or get any physical activity. It’s always recommended for depression and other mood/mental difficulties. It may feel impossible to start but overtime it gets easier.

I go to a Divorce Recovery group every Sunday night which really helps. There are a few of us that have a group text going so we can vent or get support whenever we need it. Beyond that, I work a ton of hours so that keeps me too busy to spend much time in my head. I'm actually at work right now!

Thank you for all the replies and advice. I have a tough time reaching out for help but sounds like I need to get over that.

Just reach out to literally anyone that isn’t involved in your situation. Anyone that can give you an outside view of what’s going on in the world

Therapy is usually out of my price range so I just had to deal with it on my own. I did go to a few appointments but it just wasn't something I could afford routinely.

Drinking didn't really help tho I did drink a lot the first year. Reading was a good escape for me. It requires total concentration and if it's a good book it can take you out of your head for a few hours.

I started going to therapy three days after I was "informed". And I kept going weekly for almost a year. I also posted here many times for wake up slaps in the face, and advice. As far as support groups, there are normally are a few in most communities. I am way too introverted though to attend any though.

Therapy though was golden.. as I gained a lot of tools to help survive day to day. The one thing I was pressed on though was not to neglect myself, and try to spend as much time with my kids as possible. I was in a bad place then and simply let myself mentally and physically crumble.

I recommend getting some exercise. It helps occupy your mind and relieve a lot of stress. Smashing golf balls at the range or a batting cage helps too. Focus all that anger, rage, depression, and emotional vomit into something that can be productive and get your body in shape.

This forum has been a great support for me personally. Try searching through and reading various posts to help you gain some better insights into all of the challenges and ways to deal with this situation.

All of our stories are different but share a common theme and the steps to recovery are general enough to help you through it. I started by being very mindful of what had happened, listening to audio books, and taking it one day at a time.

You are not alone in this and you will persevere. Take care of yourself and pour love into your children. Those are going to be your first major steps.
