[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have depression.  I have had it too.  Sitting at home alone is not helpful.  You HAVE to develop things you look forward to on the weeks your kids are gone.  And you have to force yourself because you will never, and I mean never, feel like doing it spontaneously.  Do you work?  How do you stay in bed when they're not there?

Do a fun class.  Go on casual dates.  Hang out with friends.  Go to church.  Do something that is scheduled and you can't mope in your house, you have to get up and get dressed and get to it.  Get out of your own head and fake it until you've made it.[/quote]

Yes, I work. I don't stay in bed all day, but the weekends are definitely the hardest. I am a teacher so I wake up early, go to work, come home and almost immediately crawl into bed for the rest of the day. [/quote]

Therapist who just replied.  Sounds kinda normal to me.  The end of a marriage especially the ways yours ended would lead to me doing this for a while.  Glad you’re in therapy.  I suggest going out to walk daily for 20 mins even if the thought of it feels horrible. It will help. [/quote]
